Hair reflects our general state of health. Illness and stress will take the luster
out of your hair. Diet plays an important part in the health of your hair also.
Drink lots of water, exercise, and lower alcohol intake.
Good circulation in the scalp is essential as hair follicles depend on
the nutrients supplied to them in the bloodstream. Traditionally,
many of the herbs used in hair care like:
Rosemary tones and stimulate local circulation.
Nettles is a cleansing tonic and an astringent, rich in minerals such
as iron, Sulphur and beta-carotene, and vitamin C.
Ginger stimulates blood flow to the scalp
Thyme is thought to have antibacterial, insecticidal, and possibly
antifungal properties
Sage is said to help darken and condition hair follicles.
Massaging of the scalp is also beneficial along with holding your head down whilst
brushing is just as effective as it allows a healthy rush of blood to the head.
HOW TO USE: Work the oil into the scalp and through hair.
Leave in or use as a hot oil treatment by warming oil, work through hair, cover and keep
warm for 30 minutes, wash out.
