Adding a dropper to the glass bottle makes it very convenient to use as well. Also, make sure to keep it away from sunlight and that it needs to be ventilated to keep it dry. Excessive humidity can cause the essential oil to deteriorate.

3. Can I apply HAIR oils every day?

HAIR oils

No, of course not. Experts do not recommend washing your hair daily, let alone applying hair oils daily. Keep your hair cleansed once every two or three days and apply oils afterwards. Applying oil to your hair every day will only cause too much dirt to build up on your scalp, and this dirt, along with sebum buildup, will cause clogging of your scalp hair follicles. This prevents hair growth and hair loss. So applying essential oils after washing your hair is the best frequency and choice.

4. Which HAIR oils can be harmful to the scalp when mixed?

5. Conclusion

Homemade hair oil with safe ingredients and no chemical additives can replenish your hair with nutrients, promote hair growth and add shine to your hair. If you're tempted too, take action and make your own bottle of hair oil!
