Essential oil conversion tips and dilution charts
Dilution charts and essential oil conversion tips.
Essential oil conversion tips come in handy when preparing your Natural haircare routine recipes. To combat hair loss and add shine, life, bounce and life to my tresses. I use essential oils into my beauty and Natural haircare products several times per week.
Pour a small amount of your blend into your hand. Spread the mixture evenly across your palms and massage it into your scalp (not on your hair). Massage in small, gentle, circular motions to ensure you cover the whole scalp.
After a few minutes of massaging, tip your head over so that it’s lower than your heart and continue to massage. This stimulates blood flow to the scalp.
Leave the mixture on your scalp for as long as possible. For best results leave it on overnight and shampoo out with a mild shampoo or Ayurvedic Hairwash powders in the morning.
Diluting and the conversion of essential oils can be quite confusing. This is why we are sharing the list below to make your custom-made Natural haircare understanding easier to follow.
Essential oil conversion tips you need to understand to make your recipes
Diluting Essential oils can be quite confusing, so we made an easy to understand list for you, so you don’t need to be a scientist to make the maths.
Essential oils are very potent and must be diluted in carrier oils or mixed into other potions. Either way, the essential oil content is said to no not exceed 1% to 2% of the total blend. Although some people like Katie from the Wellness Mama blog, have used 3 – 5% dilution before. It’s just a matter of experimenting and seeing what works for you.
