This recipe makes a wonderful, natural oil to be used as a hot oil deep conditioning treatment. It is simple to make and uses oils that not only work wonders, but leave your hair smelling wonderful. At the bottom, I have included optional mixtures for different scents other than the sandalwood.
Ingredients & Supplies
- 4 tbsps almond oil (or jojoba oil)
- 6 drops of sandalwood oil (see chart for other options)
- 3 drops of chamomile
- small glass
Directions
Set glass in a bowl of very hot water and stir mixture until it warms.
Uses
- Apply mixture to damp or dry hair.
- Cover with shower cap or wrap with plastic cap. Wrap a towel around your head.
- Leave on for at least 30 minutes. For very damaged hair, leave on for several hours.
Notes
- To wash the oil out, it helps if you massage shampoo into your hair before getting it wet.
- Oils vary in strength, so add in a little at a time, stir it in, and test the scent. Continue until you reach the intensity you are looking for.
