For Hair Care Fact Sheet A romatherapy is
ideal for use in the hair and can improve the condition of the scalp. Use one of the
following blends before you shampoo your hair. Pick the blend which best matches your hair
type. Mix the essential oils into a base or carrier oil, then massage the scalp. Put a
shower cap on (to trap the heat) and then wrap hair and shower cap in a towel to condition
and strengthen the hair.
