DIY: Hair oil mix 

Updated: Jun 24, 2020

If your scalp is prone to being dry, using hair oils and also maintaining your hair's moisture is a great way to promote hair growth.

I have been using hair oils since going natural in 2014 and I love it! It has helped me achieve and maintain my current length.

I decided to share the oils I use as well as links to help others. In addition, DiscoveringNatural has great information on oil mixes.

PROCESS:

I apply this oil mix to my scalp once a week and massage it through my hair for approximately 5 minutes.


 
OIL MIX:
 
This mix is dependent on the size of the container you're using.

I have an 8oz bottle.
