Aromatherapy Treatment
This is a follow up from the previous article (Crème Fresh Hair Treatment), utilizing any left overs you have. This is a beautiful, heavenly experience that will awaken your brain, relax your mind and stimulate hair growth.
Ingredients:
10 mls (1 tbsp.) hot macadamia oil
5 mls (1/2 tsp) essential oil of your choice
3 tbsp. manufactured crème bath
Steps:
1. Warm the macadamia oil in an aromatherapy oil burner with your choice of essential oils which are the active ingredients of this treatment. The ratio between base and essential oils should be 2:1. Macadamia oil is used because, unlike the traditional coconut oil, it does not have an aroma that interferes with the scent of the essential oils. The oil heated so that it penetrates the hair more easily.
2. With your fingers, part the hair. Using a face mask applicator brush (or just your fingers), smear the warm oil along the scalp line, massaging with your finger tips as you go.
3. When your scalp is fairly well covered with oil, apply the crème bath from the roots to the ends of your hair and massage your scalp with light pressure. Snap sections of your scalp between fingers and thumb for added stimulation.
4. For best results, cover your head with a loose, clear shower cap and steam for 10-20 minutes, or leave for 20 minutes.
5. Shampoo to remove all traces of oil.
