Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh Aloe Vera gel
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon castor oil
- 5-6 drops rosemary essential oil
- 5-6 drops lavender essential oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for extra nourishment)
Instructions
- Extract Aloe Vera Gel: Start by cutting an Aloe Vera leaf and scooping out the fresh gel into a clean bowl. Make sure to remove any green parts to get the clear, pure gel.
- Heat the Carrier Oils: In a small saucepan, combine the coconut oil, olive oil (if using), and castor oil. Warm the oils over low heat for a few minutes until they’re gently heated but not too hot.
- Combine Aloe Vera and Oils: Once the oils are warmed, add the fresh Aloe Vera gel to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
- Add Essential Oils: After the mixture has cooled down slightly, add the rosemary and lavender essential oils. These oils help to stimulate the scalp and improve circulation.
- Transfer to a Bottle: Pour the finished mixture into a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight lid. Shake well before each use.
- Application: Apply the Aloe Vera Hair Oil to your scalp and hair, massaging gently for 5-10 minutes. Leave the oil on for at least an hour, or overnight for deeper nourishment. Wash out with a mild shampoo.
Tips:
- For the best results, use this treatment 2-3 times a week.
- Store the hair oil in a cool, dark place to preserve the potency of the essential oils.
