I am super-duper excited to be joining Kerri and all my oily friends this week to share tons of ways to detox your home! Did you see her homemade mouthwash?! Cool!
I am sharing about hair care using Young Living oils…..we have an abundance of hair around here, as you can see.
My girls and I all work hard to keep our hair healthy and nice looking. Several of my daughters have used the no-poo method (where you don’t use shampoo at all) and they liked it in some ways, but it was hard to keep up with. Right now we are using natural shampoos, but we are always looking for new ideas that are natural, easy and less damaging to our hair.
So when I tried this recipe for “Sweet & Sassy Hair” from the book, “The Chemical Free Home” by Melissa Poepping I was thrilled! It is easy to use and makes your hair so shiny and bouncy! I just put it into a little glass spray bottle (I buy these where I buy my rollon bottles) and keep it with my hair products. After I wash my hair, I spray this on while it’s still wet and let it dry. I am thrilled with how healthy my hair feels!
My recipe is slightly different than the one in the book because I didn’t have one of the oils she suggests. So I’ll share my altered recipe (which I love!) for you.
Sassy Hair Spritz
Fill an 8oz. amber glass bottle about 2/3 full with distilled water and 1 TBSP of witch hazel (this helps it last longer). Add 12 drops lavender, 8 drops lemon, 8 drops rosemary and 4 drops geranium. Shake well before using. Spray on wet hair.
Yep. That’s it. It smells WONDERFUL and it’s so good for your hair and scalp. You could also add Melaleuca if you have a problem with dandruff or scalp irritation.
You can make a scalp/hair conditioner by using jojoba oil as a base instead of water. Just mix it into a cup and massage it into your scalp and let it sit while you’re in the shower and then wash it out. Add a little peppermint to it for a scalp tingling extravaganza. And if you (or someone you love) deals with stinky hair, add some Melrose to it. That’s one oil I use often with my teens!
