how much essential oil should you use?

I generally start at about 5 drops for a small 8 oz bottle of oil or hair spray mixture. but according to healthline.com, the standard is 6 drops of essential oil to 1 ounce of carrier oil.

how can you use essential oil for your hair?

I also like to use oils with added essential oils to pre-poo my hair before starting my wash routine. so many things you can do!
