Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Hair Oil
Prepare an immersion blender (or whisk) and a small bowl, then follow these steps to create your own nourishing hair oil:
Ingredients
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tbsp honey
-
1 tbsp coconut oil (or other carrier oil)
-
1 tsp Epsom salt or magnesium flakes
-
1–2 drops essential oils (optional)
Instructions
-
Blend the Ingredients:
In a bowl, combine olive oil, coconut oil, honey, and Epsom salt. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
Tip: If you don’t have a blender or the ingredients aren't combining well, gently heat them (except essential oils) over low heat on the stove and whisk until fully mixed. -
Add Essential Oils:
If using essential oils, add them after the mixture is warm but not hot. To explore options for your blend, check out our Essential Oil Collection→. -
Prepare for Application:
Stir or shake the mixture well before applying. Over a sink or in the shower, gently massage the warm oil treatment into your scalp and hair, focusing on dry or damaged areas. -
Let It Soak:
Cover your hair with a shower cap or wrap it in an old towel. Leave the treatment on for up to 30 minutes to deeply nourish the hair and scalp. -
Rinse and Wash:
Rinse thoroughly and follow with a gentle shampoo.
Note: If hair still feels oily after washing, you can massage a small amount of baking soda through the hair or use a dry shampoo to absorb excess oil.
Tips for Customizing Your Hair Oil
To tailor your hair oil to your specific needs:
- For Dry Hair: Add more moisturizing oils like avocado or olive oil.
- For Oily Hair: Use lighter oils like grapeseed or almond oil.
- For Curly Hair: Incorporate castor oil to enhance curl definition.
By customizing the ingredients, you can create a hair oil that not only enhances the health and appearance of your hair but also embodies your personal beauty philosophy.
The Benefits of Regular Use
Consistent use of your personalized hair oil can lead to:
- Improved Hair Texture: Softer, silkier hair.
- Enhanced Scalp Health: Reduced dryness and flakiness.
- Boosted Growth: Stronger, longer hair over time.
Embrace the natural beauty of your hair by incorporating these DIY treatments into your routine. With a commitment to natural ingredients and mindful care, luxurious, healthy hair is within reach.
