Essential oils can help you improve the health of your hair with very little risk of side effects at an affordable price point. They're also easy to use. For many, mixing some with a carrier oil or your shampoo and applying it to your scalp regularly can increase hair growth, strength, or shine.
Hair oiling is a practice where natural oils are spread or massaged throughout your hair to increase shine, moisture and overall health. This beauty routine has its roots in Ayurvedic medicine and Indian tradition, but has gained traction recently in the world of natural hair care.
Massage & Aromatherapy
Traditional Balinese massage uses a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure, reflexology and aromatherapy to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and "qi" (energy) around your body, and bring a sense of well-being, calm and deep relaxation.
During the massage, therapists use some aromatic oils such as ylang-ylang oil, sesame oil, jojoba, coconut oil and other exclusive oils such as frangipani oil which are found only in the Bali islands. These essential oils are preferred to enhance your mood and offer a pleasant feeling.
While most massage oils contain a blend of ingredients, all of them are formulated with one or more carrier oils. According to the experts, it is key to choose lightweight oils that are similar to the natural oils in our skin. Look for oils such as apricot kernel oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil and sweet almond oil.
