I was just in GNC and noticed that had a sale on their essential oils, and I remembered reading positive posts on here, how that can help with shedding and hair loss, so I went ahead a bought Rosemary Oil and a Lavender Tea Tree oil blend. I went back through looking at some of the threads about application, and it seems everyone says just to apply to the scalp-thats what I have a few questions about.
I would like to add a few drops to my normal Olive oil that I use for heavy overnight oilings, I have added Tea Tree oil in the past to this to help with scalp problems, and didn't see any negative side effects. So I was wondering if it would be okay to add the EO that I bought to olive oil and use it for an all over hair and scalp oil to leave on overnight? If I did this could it possibly dry out my hair more?
I would really like to try the EO for shedding since I do alot of that, but prefer the convience of adding to my bottle of olive oil used for application. Would it be better to apply some with the EO in it just to the scalp, and olive oil without through the rest of the hair?
I am new to using these products so my knowledge if very limited, to me it seems like if its all natural and good for the skin then it shouldn't hurt the hair, but I don't really know.
I also saw some posts about adding a couple of drops Rosemary EO to an acv rinse, and wondered about the benefits of this, and the posibility of this being drying to my hair.
By the way I have tried many of your suggestions over the last week and a half since I joined and appreciate the support. At this point my finance thinks I am nuts, but I really want the longest healthiest hair possible before the wedding, to me it is worth it. I will update with pictures soon, I took one after almost every new technique...
