WAYS TO USE GRAPE SEED OIL TO MOISTURIZE AND CONDITION YOUR HAIR:
Grape seed oil and lavender essential oil- Mix 4 tablespoons of grapeseed oil and 1 tablespoon of lavender essential oil. Stir the ingredients well. Now heat the mixture until it is warm (make sure the oil is heated until it is lukewarm, do not make it hot or the essential oil will lose its benefits). Meanwhile, rinse your hair with regular shampoo. Later massage with the oil on your scalp from root to tips of the hair. Leave it for 20 minutes to absorb the oil completely on the scalp. After 20 minutes wash your hair with warm water followed by cold water. Do not comb your hair immediately after washing your hair. Allow it to dry. Do this twice a week.
Grape seed and egg mask- In a bowl, break 1 egg and add in juice of 1 lemon and 2 teaspoons of grape seed oil. Mix it well and apply on dry hair and scalp. Let it sit for good 2-3 hours before you wash it off with a mild shampoo.
