Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Hello there... My aromatherapist gave me this recipe and said I could pass it around. I can personally attest that it is wonderful... I made some two days ago and left it in my hair while I worked in the garden. I washed it out that evening having had it in my hair all day, and couldn't be more pleased! You can leave it on overnight rather than all day if you wish, but I chose to leave it in during the day as I really don't fancy going to bed with oil in my hair! Best wishes, Anne-Louise. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hair Conditioner 50 ml. of jojoba oil +5% Evening Primrose Oil + 5 drops of Roman Chamomile + 3 drops of Bergamot + 3 drops of Lavender (optional) Put ingredients in a blending bottle and shake well. Massage into the scalp and hair. Leave the conditioner on all day, or apply in the evening leaving on all night (be sure and put a towel over your pillow if you take the evening option!). Wash off with neat shampoo (i.e. just put the shampoo straight onto your hair... don't bother trying to get it wet. The water will just roll right off the oil). Continue to wash as usual. You can use this conditioner once a week or as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Anne-Louise: Since my husband carted home a gallon jug of jojoba oil from the massage conference last month, I'm looking forward to trying this out, especially now that it's getting to be " out in the sun and wind " season.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Hey there... I hope you like it. I think it would make a good massage blend as well as a hair conditioner. The scent is heavenly! =), Anne-Louise. > Caroline Abreu <carocrow > > Fri, 27 Apr 2001 10:26:00 -0400 > > Re: ... homemade hair conditioner ... > > Anne-Louise: > > Since my husband carted home a gallon jug of jojoba oil from the massage > conference last month, I'm looking forward to trying this out, especially now > that > it's getting to be " out in the sun and wind " season. > > Thanks, > Crow > > Anne-Louise Lasley wrote: > >> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ >> >> Hair Conditioner >> >> 50 ml. of jojoba oil >> +5% Evening Primrose Oil >> + 5 drops of Roman Chamomile >> + 3 drops of Bergamot >> + 3 drops of Lavender (optional) >> >> Put ingredients in a blending bottle and shake well.

Crow, Be careful with bergamot on the skin cause it can make you photosensitive if you are out and about in the sun. MichelleH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Thanks, Michelle. I do a lot of experimenting on surfaces before I'll put something on me, even in a carrier oil... because I have seen what EOs can do to harder surfaces than my hide ;-) The bergamot makes sense, with the sunlight caution, I'll probably leave it out. I think I'd be happy with the chamomile and lavender; the jojoba oil itself is an excellent moisturizer for dry skin, it soaks right in. Here I go, off topic. But I'm sure a lot of you want to try that hair conditioner <G> Crow Michelle Hughes wrote: > Crow, > > Be careful with bergamot on the skin cause it can make you photosensitive if you > are out and about in the sun. > > MichelleH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Hello... I think I may be guilty of putting something on the list that may not exactly be " on topic " again. I know that hair conditioner/aromatherapy stuff isn't really what this list is about, but I thought it was such a wonderful recipe and it had worked so well for me... I couldn't help but share it. And I thought it was in neutral enough territory that I wouldn't ruffle feathers this time as well... =) Patchouli is another oil that is quite good in the hair... but it has an earthy scent that you either like or you don't. Take it easy ya'll... =), Anne-Louise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 ann louize do you have patents like this to prevent greying hair? or wrinkles? anat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Anat... There are several blends for skin that I can recommend for you. As you've mentioned wrinkles, I will give blends that adddress possible causes. I use jojoba as my base oil... but you may use what you like. For Aging Skin: 3 drops of frankincense 4 drops of rose 3 drops of clary sage For Chapped Skin: 4 drops of rose 3 drops of chamomile 3 drops of sandalwood For Wrinkles: 2 drops of patchouli 3 drops of lemon 5 drops of rose For Sunburn: 3 drops of sandalwood 3 drops of lavender 4 drops of chamomile There are a few oils in these blends that you might need to be cautious of for various reasons. These include: Rose: Do not use rose during the first three months of pregnancy and NOT AT ALL if there is a history of miscarriage. Roman Chamomile: Do not use in the first three months of pregnancy. It can cause dermititis in some people. There is no known risk of toxicity. Lemon: Can irritate sensitive skin. Do NOT use before sunbathing. Use only very diluted in massage and bath blends, and not use for more than a few days at a time. Clary Sage: Do not use if you are pregnant. Do not use when drinking alcohol as it can make you drunk, drowsy, and can cause nightmares. Lavender: Usually safe for all age groups, but some hay fever or asthma sufferers may be allergic. I hope you find some of the blends helpful! Although I know of blends for conditioning hair and for treating scalp problems, I don't believe there is a blend that would deter grey hair.
