I scalp massage 4 times per week, using my own blend or a purchased finished product.
My own blend is alma/avocado/capsicum oleoresin, and the finished product that I buy is made with a mix of Camellia oil, Argan oil, Black Castor oil, Shea Butter, Broccoli Seed oil, Rosemary EO and salicylic acid.
Trying to GROW
I was wondering why are oils like Jojoba and Grapeseed recommended for making the EO oil mix. I have seen topics around the forum which say that these oils stay on the surface and thus recommended as leave ins and oiling the length.
Does anyone use any other base oils? I was thinking about avocado and castor oil...
The heart would have no rainbow, had the eyes no tears.
Are there any oils that can stop or prevent hair loss due to medication???
No products can really stop or prevent hair loss but some of these recipes in conjunction with light scalp massage, do stimulate growth.
The only things I've ever heard of to help stop or prevent hair loss is stinging nettle and saw palmetto, but to be honest, I'm not even sure that would help really. I've never tried it to stimulate growth either, it's just what I've heard. I've heard a lot of things too and most I wouldn't try, so be careful.
Is anyone still using EOs, and if so how are your results? I'm wondering how EOs from more western herbs compare to using the Indian infused oils..
Forgive me if this has already been asked... As opposed to a 4 ounce bottle of carrier oil, I have a 2 ounce bottle I would like to use instead. What would be the appropriate ratio of herbal drops using a 2 ounce bottle? For example, how many drops of rosemary, lavender, and basil would I add to a 2 ounce bottle of camellia oil?
Also are carrot oil and evening primrose oil considered carrier oils?
Thanks in advance...
I copied Igor's recipe from the first post. The amounts in red will fill a 2 oz bottle so I hope this will give you an idea how to adjust the recipe you are thinking of using.
Igor's Recipe
1. Thyme essential oil - 2 drops 5 drops
2. Atlas cedarwood essential oil - 2 drops 5 drops
3. Lavender essential oil -3 drops 7 drops
4. Rosemary essential oil -3 drops 7 drops
5. Jojoba oil - ½ teaspoon 1 and 1/4 tsp
6. Grapeseed oil - 4 teaspoons 10 tsp. (3 Tbl plus 1 tsp)
Someone may correct me but all I can find about evening primrose oil is that it is used more as a nutritive oil rather than a carrier oil and a maximum of 10% is recommended. I couldn't find anything about carrot oil except as an EO.
Hope this helps.
