Peppermint Oil.
23:56Peppermint oil is an essential oil which is normally paired with carrier oils such as olive oil, almond oil, or castor oil. Peppermint oil can also sometimes be found befriending other essential oils such as lavender, jasmine or wheat germ oil.
Peppermint oil can be mixed as many combinations, e.g with jojoba oil and glycerin; or with castor oil and olive oil; these mixtures are known to promote hair growth.
Peppermint oil has pH balancing qualities that can also be used to treat dry scalp and dandruff. The neutralising effect on the scalp also reduces itching.
To penetrate the hair shaft, mix the oil with any carrier oil - massage into scalp then put hair up in a shower cap and place a heated towel on top (optional). Let the heat from the outer towel penetrate - the oil will hopefully stream down the hair shaft combined with the natural heat regulation from shower cap.
As the smell suggests, peppermint has anti-bacterial properties so feel at ease when applying it to your scalp! Gives that fresh sensation too and that tingling fresh sensation also stimulates your hair follicles and promotes hair growth.
Don't stop there! Peppermint oil has other uses :) The menthol present in the oil helps in making your skin healthy and glowing. Peppermint oil can help in controlling excess oil production and can therefore be used as a cure for oily skin. Peppermint oil is one of the ingredients used in lip balms. It makes the lips smooth and don't forget the anti-bacterial properties! It is used as a remedy for sunburned and cracked lips. This oil is known for relieving different body pains. It is can be used to soothe headaches. Peppermint oil is one of the ingredients present in different mouthwashes and toothpastes, as you probably know :)
