H2O and Essential Oil Mist

Hi Maicurlies,

So today I figured I would do a post on the ” Hair Mists” I have experimented with during the course of my Natural Hair Journey. The basic recipe of the Hair Mists I have used consisted of water and Essential Oil. Usually:

1 cup of distilled or bottled water (based on the size of the spray bottle I use)

5 drops of essential oils

There are different kinds of Essential Oils one can use for different purposes. The Oils I have experimented with are:

Peppermint

Known to promote growth by stimulating circulation
Acts as an antiseptic for the scalp.
Known to remove dandruff and lice.
Help scalp irritation, dry skin and makes hair healthy and shiny.

Lavender

Known for its balancing, soothing, regenerative and antibacterial properties.
Good treatment for dandruff and itchy scalps.
Can help control hair breakage and improve hair growth.
Known to help treat alopecia areata (a condition where you lose excessive hair in patches.)

Ylang Ylang

Can help reduce stress.
Can help increase the thickness of the hair shaft to grow thicker hair.
Can have a balancing effect on scalp oil production.
Said to help with split ends.

Apart from the properties mentioned above I use the Hair Mist as a “nice smelling curl refresher” in the morning when I want to revitalize my curls instead of using plain water. Just shake up the spray bottle before you use it so that you distribute the Oil a little.

There you go Maicurlies! I would love to know what essential oils you use!

Thanks
