Ingredients you will need:
- 2 tablespoons of organic coconut oil
- 4 tablespoons of pure castor oil
- 8-10 drops of pure peppermint oil
Melt the coconut oil in a very clean saucepan, use very low heat, then add in the castor oil, let the liquid melt. Turn off the heat and add in the peppermint oil. Pour the oil into a glass bottle.
Massage this mixture into the scalp for 5 mins. The oil will add a nice cooling and tingling sensation. Finally, flip your head over (this is called the inversion technique), and give yourself an upside down head massage.
