The Best Essential Oils that are good for your Hair and Scalp

Here is a list of some of the best essential oils to use for your hair and scalp.

It’s so important to be sure you are using a true essential oil and not an fragrance oil. Fragrance oils are nothing more than scented perfume and will offer no actual benefit to your hair, and fragrance oils can actually be quite dangerous and toxic to use on your hair and skin.

I am partial to doTERRA oils, as you can tell by the pictures in this article.

How can you tell if an oil is a fragrance oil or not? It will say right on the bottle!! If you see that term anywhere or any warnings not to use the oil topically, then stay away.

  • Part your hair every 1/2 inch and drip down your scalp.
  • Give yourself a Scalp Massage with your finger tips to work the oils in and and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use a shower cap if you find it helpful to keep the wet hair off your face.
  • Then wash per normal.
  • Do this every few weeks to support a healthy scalp and hair growth.

  1. Your hair serum recipe looks wonderful, but my question is:
    After adding the essential oils in the 4 ounce bottle, you say to top off the bottle with your choice of oil. To me, this means to fill the bottle the rest of the way to the top. However, in your recipe, you say to add only 1 teaspoon of either one of the carrier oils after adding the drops of essential oil. I’m confused, because why would you only add 1 teaspoon of a carrier oil and put it in a 4 ounce bottle? Please be so kind as to clarify.

    1. Hi Lynne – I’m sorry for the mistake. You’ll want to fill the bottle with your carrier oil. I’ve corrected it, now. Thanks for pointing it out.
