Want beautiful hair... naturally? Making your own all natural hair products will help your hair return to its natural state - shiny, happy and healthy.
Commercial hair products, styling, stress, weather, poor diet and lack of exercise all contribute to dull, dry, lank locks.

Depending on your hair type, you might need one, two or even a few natural hair products to get your best hair. Click on the links below to go to the recipes.

Cautions: Don't use sage and rosemary essential oils if you have high blood pressure or epilepsy. Be cautious using essential oils on skin during pregnancy.
There's so much more to essential oils than meets the eye. Their
molecules are so tiny that they absorb deep into your body in a matter
of moments.
If the essential oil you buy is filled with additives (to "stretch"
the scent) and fragrance boosters, those potentially harmful ingredients
are also absorbed straight into your body. Not ideal!
For instance, my mom and I get instant headaches with most kinds of
lavender oil. That's because of the extra "lavender" scent that's added
to make it smell stronger. But when it's pure lavender - nothing else -
no headaches.
I've used many brands over the last 12 years or so and what I know
for sure is, you get what you pay for. So I recommend buying the highest
quality essential oils you can afford.
Here's how I break it out...
doTerra for highest quality. You can shop retail by clicking the Shop button at the top. Or click Join & Save to become a wholesale customer and get 25% discount. |
Mountain Rose for quality on a budget. Plus they have all the other ingredients you'll need for your aromatherapy recipes. |
Amazon for variety and selection. Please remember to buy the best oils you can afford - there's a lot of cheap oils in the marketplace, and they just won't give you the experience you're looking for. |
Boost the cleaning power of your money saving homemade shampoo - and make it smell delicious - with essential oils. |
Target hair care treatments to your specific hair type - without unhealthy chemicals or synthetic additives. |
For shine, overall health and managability, and dandruff prevention. Oh, and as a side benefit, it also helps promote hair growth. |
Harness the restoring power of herbs and essential oils - and protect yourself from harmful chemicals and synthetic additives. |
Restore healthy shine, relieve dandruff and even reduce gray hair with these recipes. |
Make your own natural hair dyes for healthy, chemical-free, all natural hair color. |
