Promote Hair Growth with Healthy Oils
from the Bath
As I mentioned in the previous post, natural herbal oils you probably already use for skin care are known to help protect, strengthen, regrow hair and eliminate dandruff, They’re easy to apply, and when used along with the natural botanical powders, might make a difference in your rate of hair growth in just a few short months. The healthy hair oils from the kitchen and bath include: virgin coconut oil, flaxseed oil, extra-virgin olive oil and cold-pressed castor oil.
Healthy Hair Oil: Castor Oil
Cold Pressed and Cold Processed Castor oil is very thick and its scent might not be as pleasing to the senses as other oils, but its benefits to your scalp and skin will definitely please you. Some prefer to mix it with other oils, to thin out the consistency. That’s an individual choice.
Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil is a natural emollient that penetrates the surface layers of the skin, making it softer and supple. Perfect for dry feet and heels or other excessively dry skin areas. A few of the benefits to the hair and scalp: Prevents dry scalp; Moisturizes hair and eliminates dry hair; deep conditions hair and scalp; thickens thin hair; prevents and reduces hair breakage and damage; increases hair growth; adds fullness and shine to hair; prevents and stops split ends (when applied on hair ends); stops frizziness; improves hair health.
Healthy Hair Oil: Lavender Oil
Lavender oil is great oil used for soothing aromatherapy and de-stressing the body. It’s also used for its effectiveness in promoting healthy hair growth. It helps stop hair loss by nourishing and protecting hair follicles. Simply massage gently into the scalp to soothe dry, itchy skin and to calm your nerves. Since it helps you rest your body, it helps guard against thinning hair.
How to Use Healthy Hair Oils with Natural Botanical Products
- Oil your scalp and roots, then section your hair, lightly applying oil from ends to roots prior to using Lustrous Henna® Dry Shampoo Powder. Start off with a light oiling of ½ tsp. or less, until the proper amount is obtained.
- Wrap Hair in plastic wrap/plastic cap and leave oil on for about 30 minutes. If you want a hot oil treatment, add heat for 15-20 minutes.
- Wet hair and apply prepared Lustrous Henna® Dry Shampoo Powder paste* to hair with fingertips (a small rubber spatula can aid in application, but not necessary). Making the shampoo paste takes about 30 seconds. Press and lightly massage throughout hair. (follow-up gently-using a large-tooth comb for full coverage). Leave on for 5 minutes, and then rinse out until hair is completely free of shampoo.
- There is no need to follow up with a conditioner if you have fine to normal hair. However, if you insist on using a conditioner try Imbue™ Nuturing Conditioner. If you have extremely dry, course or damaged hair, try So Natural™ Moisture Gloss Conditioner from Saba Botanical of USA.
There you have it, oils that you use for other purposes in your kitchen and bath -that can benefit your hair. In addition, always remember that another thing in your kitchen that will help promote healthy hair growth is: healthy food. Indeed, for totally healthy hair care, a healthy diet, plenty of exercise and proper rest are absolutely essential.
