I buy all of my oils in a special shop for natural cosmetic because for treatments it must not be perfume oil but true natural- otherwise it doesnīt work. But you may find special oils in oriental shops, at the drugstore or at a pharmacy.

Thanks, I'll have see what I can find.  I am allergic to many perfumes, so I don't frequent cosmetic shops, but I'll check some out.

OK, I'll leave it alone.  It's just really hard not to do any chemicals on your hair, isn't it?  Shocked

Not when you see the results after a year or two of not screwing with it ;)

Re: Rinse with ethereal (essential) oils
Reply #8 - Jan 24th, 2003 at 2:27pm
 
Hello,

  First time on here, but was reading this and I wanted to say, that another term for the oils is, Essential Oils.  They can be found now a days in many stores.  If you have a Vitamin Cottage or a 'Wild Oats Health Food Market" or any Natural Foods / Health Store nearby, I'll bet you can get the above named Essential Oils.  If not, just type Essential Oil on your favorite search engine, and you can get them online. 

An essential oil is the pure oil derived from the plant material named, and is not altered in any way, and has nothing synthetic in it and it is NOT diluted.  It is VERY VERY VERY potent, and you should use a drop or two ONLY in your mixture, until you know that you are not allergic to it.  (Sometimes an Essential Oil can cause a strong reaction mainly because it's highly concentrated, and it can irritate you, unless you dilute it).   Never apply an essential oil directly to your skin or hair, unless you absolutely KNOW it is not too strong for you.  Mix a drop of the essential oil into a carrier oil, such as Almond, Olive, or Jojoba oil and then test it on your skin.   

Many oils that smell nice, but are not essential are 'fragranced' with synthetic smells, in a carrier oil (such as sweet almond oil or plain old mineral oil).   These oils, and are somtimes used in candle making and the like..you do not want to apply these to any parts of your body Smiley

I just wanted to help clarify this; the recipes listed are diluted enough with water, that you shouldn't have a problem, but you just never know...and if you happened to get ahold of a synthetic oil, used for candle making, it would not be cool...

A recipe I used to use, that always left my hair smelling nice is:

Take a cinnamon tea bag and steep in a quart of hot water.  When water is cool enough to use, pour it over your hair.  The cinnamon scent stays and it gives your hair a slight reddish color (good on brunettes)
...Let your hair dry naturally, if you have the time.

Also, apple or plain white vinegar rinsed in your hair makes it super shiny, gets rid of left over soap or conditioner, and balances the Ph....don't worry, the smell of the vinegar vanishes very quickly!!  If you have steeped a favorite herb in the vinegar, it will leave your hair softly perfumed too  (such as lavender, camomile, etc).  Or add a drop of that new essential oil you just bought to the vinegar before you rinse!

Heather,
So I take it you use these as a last rinse and don't rinse after that.  I was going the Essential Oil thing at the begining of this message, but the Geranium oil was like $15.  So I settled for just the RoseWood Oil, I guess I'll just start with that.  These are all for the final rinse, right?

To Heather,

   I am new and was caught by your knowledge of the oils. I use 99% natural home made recipes on my hair.  Over the course of the last year while experimenting with recipes I noticed the huge difference in the types of oils.  Such as olive, grapeseed,walnut etc.  Right now I have been very content with Hazlenut scented with lavender or peach oil.  Its not as heavy as olive oil but conditions my hair better than grapeseed oil.  Coconut oil alone is sticky and stiffens my hair.  Do you know where I can find info on what exactly makes them so different.  I would love to specialize and talor my recipes with greater knowledge of each item.  Reference the above rinse recipe I use a bit of vodka with the oils to get them to blend better with water.    Thanks
