This nourishing DIY hair oil deeply hydrates dry, brittle strands and supports a healthy scalp. With just four powerful ingredients, it’s a simple, customizable weekly treatment for shinier, stronger hair—naturally.
Equipment
- 1 4oz amber glass bottle (to protect oils from light)
- 1 Small funnel (optional, but helpful)
- 1 Dropper or pipette (if your essential oils don’t have reducer caps)
- Measuring spoons or scale
Ingredients
- 4 oz Carrier oil of your choice (jojoba and almond are both excellent options)
- 16 drops Lavender essential oil
- 16 drops Sandalwood essential oil (Australian Sandalwood)
- 8 drops Blue chamomile essential oil (German)
Instructions
- Add all essential oils directly into your 4oz glass bottle.
- Using a funnel, pour in the carrier oil of your choice until the bottle is nearly full.
- Cap the bottle and gently swirl or shake to combine.
- Store in a cool, dark place between uses.
Notes
- For fine or oily hair, use jojoba oil. For thicker or drier hair, almond, argan, or avocado oil work well.
- Can’t find Australian sandalwood? Use cedarwood as a more budget-friendly and readily available alternative.
