Dry Scalp Recipe

[gladgran]

I had an Client for an Indian Head Massage last week and she had really dry scalp. I offered to make a blend for her as I also do aromatherapy. I was thinking of using Lavender, Rosemary and Geranium. I was going to buy JoJoba carrier oil to use it. I was looking in aroma books to determine the parts but they don't seem to say, as well as online. They all suggest using a shampoo, I wanted to make something that the client can leave in hair overnight or for a few hours.

Does anyone have a recipe for this and how long would you recommend it leaving it in for. Would you shampoo it out afterwards or would this wash the oils out?
Thanks

3 drops of essential oil per tsp of base oil, I personally would use Jojoba leave in overnight if possible, shampoo then wet the hair. I use for dandruff lavender, bergamot and sandalwood or lavender and tea tree.

I've been using hair oils for quite a few years now and generally i find soaking the hair in conditioner for a while is the best and gentlest way to remove them when i wash them out. This even works for very heavy ones like castor oil.

other base oils that are good for dry, irrated scalps are shea butter oil, thistle oil, vitamin E oil, moringa oil, and calendula oil. They work great when combined together too.
