While using aromatherapy for hair, once you've understood the way in which each aromatherapy oil benefits hair, it is easy for you to treat your hair to small quantities of the ones it needs the most, mixed with carrier oils like olive oil and jojoba oil. Lavender is said to be great for calming the hair and soothing the scalp, while basil is said to promote growth by increasing circulation. Chamomile, which is frequently used in hair care products, has moisturizing and healing properties, for both the scalp and hair. Myrrh is usually used in very small quantities for deep cleansing, and is good for those with greasy hair. Rosemary essential oil and lemon essential oil are the ones you need to use if you have a dandruff problem or dry hair, while peppermint oil for hair helps to stimulate blood flow to the roots of the hair.
