Princess diary
I use lavender oil in my aroma combing procedure very often, occasionally alternating it with some other oil. But lavender oil is my favorite, definitely! I drip a few drops of oil onto a natural bristle brush and comb my hair for a long time. The scent of lavender soothes, relaxes, adjusts to deep sleep, which is why I do the procedure with this oil closer to night. Lavender oil acts on hair in the following way: it gives it shine and elasticity, with constant use, the hair becomes stronger and less brittle.
Yulia Savenkova
I added 3-4 drops of oil to the shampoo, but I did not do it every time, since I wash my head every day and there was still a risk of being left not with luxurious hair, but with a shock of dry hair. Oil can be both beneficial and can dry hair excessively if used excessively. 2 times a week, I also add 3-4 drops of oil to the balm or hair conditioner, but in this case I exclude it from the shampoo, and then keep it on the hair for 15 to 20 minutes. What do I get? As a result, I get crazy shiny hair and an incredibly pleasant aroma of hair that does not leave you until the next shampooing. The smell is persistent, sweet and delicate, but most importantly, its sweetness is not cloying and unobtrusive.

Once every 7 days I apply a mask with jojoba, the result is completely satisfied. The strands are soft and silky, less tangled and grow better.
Ulyana, 23 years old
Lavender extract is the best that nature could give.Recently I suffered from an intense rash of strands, thanks to this plant, I was able to preserve her hair and improve her health.
Valeria, 25 years old
I suffered from dandruff for a long time until I discovered this ether. A simple rub in with olive helped not only to say goodbye to the problem, but also to moisturize the strands and give them shine.

Cosmetic oil is a natural product obtained from plants and their fruits and used in cosmetology.

That is why it is recommended to add only 4 drops of oil per 1 tsp. means, but no more than 8 drops in the main solution (balm, conditioner or hair mask).

Undiluted liquid can lead to severe burns to the skin of the face and scalp, which will take much longer to fix than to get rid of the original problem.

Essential oil and shampoo: should you mix

Should you mix shampoo with lavender oil? The answer is simple: of course it is. The regular addition of an essential extract to the shampoo will guarantee improved scalp health, dandruff relief and manageable, healthy hair.

4–5 drops of lavender oil are added to half the palm of the shampoo, but it should be noted that this mixture is best used immediately or within 2 hours, otherwise the lavender essential substances will fade away and there will be no benefit from the oil. For the same reason, we do not recommend adding lavender oil to the shampoo bottle.

Duration of the course

The duration of the course of treatment with lavender oil products depends on the degree of hair damage, as well as on the individual shampooing regimen:

  1. aroma combing with essential oil is carried out 2-3 times a week;
  2. lavender balm should be used with the same frequency;
  3. masks for hair should be done no more than 1-2 times a week;
  4. curative rinsing can be carried out every day, especially with seborrhea.

The total duration of lavender oil therapy should not exceed 2 months.
