I would like to use the Peppermint Oil on my scalp. What is the corrected amount I can use alone or with another oil? I have Rosemary Oil also.

We recommend using Peppermint essential oil with a carrier oil at a 3-5% dilution rate, since it is so strong and may irritate the skin if applied neat. At a 3-5% dilution rate, you can add as much of one oil as you'd like (ex. 12 drops of Peppermint and 8 drops of Rosemary per 1 ounce of carrier oil). 3% dilution = 20 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier5% dilution = 30 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier

Moisturizer - Peppermint oil mixed with other essential oils or a carrier oil can be applied directly to your hair. Wrap your head with a shower cap and then a warm towel or heating device for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the mixture to penetrate.And for the scalp, 1. Dilute your Peppermint Oil With Water - Mix a 3-8 drops of peppermint oil with a cup of water.2. Mix your Peppermint Oil With Carrier Oils - Jojoba, olive, avocado or almond are carrier oils that add additional benefits and make the peppermint oil less harsh. Add a few drops of peppermint oil to a few ounces of a carrier oil and mix before applying.

My hair is very fine too. I use literally 4 drops on my fingertips, rub my hands together to spread the oil and then lightly rub over the ends of my hair. Any more than that and it weighs my hair down. With just the few drops it leaves my hair silky and soft. Amazing oil!

You can use any essential oil - I've used lemon, peppermint, thieves, purification, peace & calming, lavender, sometimes I combine a couple drops to make my own blend.

it will renew the dead/damaged skin on your scalp as well as stimulate your hair follicles. I've heard using it with garlic oil & rosemary oil will help also. use a 0.75 mm roller though. here's blog tht tlks a little abt it. sorry it didnt link. Im on my phone. http://blackhairmedia.com/allthingshair/how-to-quickly-grow-your-edges-and-hairline-back-when-nothing-else-works/

This oil is meant to be applied to the hair and scalp. Apply at night and wash off in the morning for best results. Enjoy.

Hi Elizabeth, Of course, you can use the almond oil in your scalp and roots; let me told you something sad, I went to a "beauty salon" and they applied to me an straightening product and they literally burn my scalp, I started to used almond oil on it one night before and washed my hair the next morning and is working, I missed my long and beautiful hair!

I mix 2% Peppermint oil, 2% Spearmint oil in a bottle of scented Mineral oil. I then soak sponges placed in a 'margarine' container and place around areas I want to restrict. I will also put some in a spray bottle and spray entrance areas (crawl space doors, barn doors, etc.) and inside drawers in a barn or garden shed. This oder does need replenishing depending on the amount of air exchanges in the area. I do the treatment in the early Fall to keep them out rather than try to drive them away after they have nested. I have been doing this for several years and it appears to work. Hope this helps.

I would see why not given its just peppermint oil. what you'd do though depending on what purfume or lotion you want to mix it with only add a small drop each time till it get's to be the smell you want. on the rare case that it messes with your skin try to water it down a little. when i got mine i figured out it needed to be watered down a good bit when mixing it with other scents. though for most oils that are natural, as long as you have not allergies to them, you can mix them with what you want. i hope this answers your question.

i dont think its too much, i dont think this product can do harm -- i mean unless you drink it :) but thats how i apply it directly to my scalp. As far as your hair being oily thats up to you, the more oil i use the pretty my hair is and i'm of native american and dominican so my hair is a mix of waves and curls, but with the oil it becomes bone straight, (no heat required) i guess because its weighed down. So have at it girl. I hope this helps.

Use it directly on the scalp, the product is not meant to be greasy. But if you over use it when applying it could depending on your hair type. It's the best product out there I know for psoriasis and scalp issues! Try it! I don't think you'll be disappointed :)

Well it depends on your preference. The oil is going to weigh your hair down, preventing it from bring light and bouncy. If that's not the result you want, leave it on 30 minutes or longer and rinse it out.If you have more questions come just post. Don't want you to feel alone on this new journey. Take care

Hi Bernadette! I make a lot of my own skin and hair products, and with the research I've done, Jojoba oil can possibly stimulate hair growth, especially in combination with Essential Oils. I am a doTerra Wellness Advocate, and I've seen lots of hair thickening and growth come from using Rosemary. Just be sure to use an organic, 100% pure (with no fillers) essential oil. Unfortunately... if the essential oil is very inexpensive, it has fillers. The smell should be strong and absolutely heavenly :-), and only a few drops to blend with the oil and cover the whole scalp. But Jojoba oil alone can possibly help with hair growth. I would massage it gently into the scalp and let sit for at least 30 minutes before washing with a gentle shampoo. But for best results leave overnight, then wash in the morning. Keep in mind that results are never overnight. And if no hair growth, rest assured you are slowing or preventing hair loss and creating a much healthier head of hair. Good luck!

Two key issues here, Bill; I lather up and leave it set on my scalp while I shave / shower - 5 minutes. THEN, cool water rinse and gently comb it at the same time during rinse. You should be "good to go" within one bottle. Powerful stuff. This is not medical advice. I'm just telling you what happened in my case. Best to YOU.

Yes, Rosemary Essential Oil can help hair growth as well as the helping the hair you already have. Rosemary oil stimulates your scalp and promotes hair growth. Peppermint oil does this as well. You have to add the rosemary oil to a carrier oil, such as Jojoba, olive, or coconut because it is undiluted and too strong to just put on the scalp. I recommend adding 6 drops of rosemary oil per 1 ounce of carrier oil inside an applicator bottle. Wet hair with warm water add mixture to scalp massaging it in. Leave on for 20 minutes and then shampoo and condition as you normally would. As with anything it will take time so be patient.

Lavender oil is awesome for hair as well as so many other things... antiseptic, anti inflammatory, relaxing, eases headaches, repels insects, I put on a painful zit and it's way down or gone within hours, Helps with PMS and insomnia. If it's just for hair treatment you're looking for, though, check out Rosemary Oil. I love NOW oils. They're high quality and many are also organic. NOW also has a diffuser for about $35 that's very good and easy to use. I also recommend a book for you that I got at Amazon for about $10. Excellent for beginners... it's called Essential Oils for Beginners. Good Luck!

depends on how sensitive your skin is. i have no problem with it directly on skin but some have sensitive skin and the peppermint may irritate some. just rub skin with coconut oil first before applying if irritation occurs.

You can, but only apply a little with the tips of your fingers the way you would apply an oil. I mix my with jamacian black castor oil and jojoba oil. Dab with your finger tips and apply lightly to you scalp only.
