Hair Oil Formulation (Recipe)

Submitted By:

Summary:

an oil for moisturizing dry hair

Ingredients:

1 C herb infused olive oil
1 C liquid lecithin
1 T of melted shea butter
A few squirts of jojoba oil
A few drops essential oil for scent

Instructions:

Melt the oils and pour into a bottle. Use only a small amount at a time. I like to infuse my olive oil with conditioning herbs like rosemary, nettle, and chamomile leaves for a special conditioning treat. You can do this by putting the dry herbs in a big jar, then put the jar outside in sun and leave it for a week. Be sure to shake it up everyday. Then strain oil through cheesecloth or a fine strainer to remove herbs. Or, you can put the herbs in a large, plastic measuring cup, pour the oil over the herbs and put the measuring cup inside a large pan filled with water. Simmer over low heat for about and hour, then strain.
