Author: Katie Stewart Wellness
- 3 tablespoons organic cold-pressed castor oil
- 1 tablespoon avocado jojoba or olive oil
- 6 drops doTERRA essential oils* I do 2 drops each lavender, rosemary, and clary sage
Essential oils for hair:
- Lavender
- Peppermint
- Rosemary
- Geranium
- Clary Sage
Combine all ingredients in dark, glass dropper bottle. Gently shake until well combined.
Apply a few drops throughout clean, dry hair (less is more). Make sure to pay special attention to the scalp and ends.
Brush through to evenly distribute.
Let sit for 20-30 minutes.
To remove, use lukewarm water and apply the shampoo on your hair and scalp and gently massage using your fingertips.
Leave shampoo on for around one minute.
Wash your hair with warm water, using your fingers to make circular motions along the scalp.
Repeat if hair is still oily.
Rinse with Apple Cider Vinegar.
Makes enough for about 4-6 masks, depending on the length of your hair.
Castor oil stains! Only wear clothes and use towels you don’t care about staining.
Some people find washing their hair with conditioner works better than shampooing the castor oil out.
