| After a summer’s exposure to ocean winds and sunlight, our hair often needs a welcomed dose of nourishing relief. Who needs to spend money on chemical-filled "treatments" that only add more toxins to your body? Just reach into your cupboard for your favorite Cold-Pressed Olive Oil! This easy treatment will help you achieve healthier, more manageable hair on a clean and invigorating scalp. Olive Oil nourishes, conditions and improves the strength and elasticity of your hair. Better still, this process is both stress-reducing and health-promoting! For 1-2 treatments, here’s how: ½ cup olive oil 5 drops frankincense essential oil (others may be substituted, if you wish) 1 plastic bag that can fit over your hair. 1. Pour olive oil into a jar with a lid, then add essential oil. Put lid on jar and shake well to disperse the essential oil. Let sit for 24 hours in a cool, dark place. Shake again before use. 2. Rinse hair with warm water. Warm 1 tablespoon of oil treatment in the palms of your hands. Using your fingertips (not nails), gently massage the oil into the scalp in a circular motion. Repeat until the entire scalp has been massaged. Rub the ends of your hair with the remaining oil. 3. Place a plastic bag over your hair, secure by tying or with a hair clip or clothespin, and allow the oil to remain for at least ½ hour. 4. Rinse well, then shampoo as usual. |
