peppermint essential oil smells great & the cooling effect will leave your scalp feeling refreshed & rejuvenated. peppermint stimulates blood circulation & blood flow to the scalp. this is important as your follicles are fed & nourished by the nutrients in your blood. and this promotes growth!

thanks to its regenerative properties, lavender has been known to revive the scalp & hair follicles to encourage growth & prevent hair loss. for this reason, it’s often used to treat alopecia areata - a condition where an excessive amount of hair is lost, due to the body’s rejection of the hair as foreign.
*PLEASE NOTE: for hair care, do not use these essential oils on their own. they should be mixed with a carrier oil (i.e. almond, grapeseed oil, etc.). TAP BELOW to read more about these & more of my favorite essential oils on the blog!
