Tips:
To prevent dry hair avoid using hot water on your hair. Hot water strips the natural oils from your hair and scalp resulting in dry hair.
Check for any allergic reactions before using an essential oil. It is always best to patch test a tiny bit of essential oil on your skin mixed with a carrier oil before using.
