Aromatherapy Treatments for Dandruff (Dry & Normal Hair)
Wash your hair with a mild, pH-balanced shampoo, then towel dry. Massage your scalp
with half of the mixture below, paying special attention to the ends which are prone to
dryness and splitting. Cover your head with a towel and leave for up to an hour before
shampooing again to remove the oil. To increase the effectiveness of the treatment, add
cider vinegar to the final rinsing water (about three tablespoons to every two pints).
30m I extra virgin olive oil
2 drops rosemary essential oil
1 drop Roman chamomile essential oil
2 drops lavender essential oil
Contents of 2 x 500mg evening primrose oil capsules
This formula acts as an anti-dandruff and deep conditioning treatment in one. A weekly
application is usually enough to maintain a clear scalp and glossy hair. Unless your hair is
very thick and long, the quantities given above should be enough for two treatments. Put
the oils into a dark glass bottle. Pierce the evening primrose oil capsules with a pin and
squeeze the contents into the mixture. Shake well.
Aromatherapy Treatments for Dandruff (For Oily Hair)
Wash your hair with a mild, pH-balanced shampoo, then towel dry. Pour a little hair tonic
(below) into the palm of your hand and massage into the scalp and through the hair. There
is no need to rinse.
You may find that if you use this product three times a week, the over-secretion of sebum
will be reduced. The cider vinegar helps restore the skin's natural acid mantle.
15ml cider vinegar
3 drops Atlas cedarwood essential oil
3 drops rosemary essential oil
200ml distilled water
Funnel the cider vinegar into a dark glass bottle, then add the essential oils and shake
well. Top up with distilled water and shake again. This should be sufficient for several
applications.
