How to use lavender oil for hair

Enjoying the benefits of Lavender Body Oil for your hair is incredibly straightforward. Follow our easy step-by-step guide to using this luxurious oil:

• Application: Gently work a few drops of Lavender Oil for Hair directly into your scalp. You can choose to apply it to either dry or slightly damp hair, depending on your preference.

For optimal results, you can leave the oil in your hair for up to 4 hours or even overnight for an intensive treatment. This method is supported by hair care specialists for its effectiveness in providing deep conditioning.

• Styling: Rub a small amount of Lavender Oil for Hair between your palms and delicately apply it to the strands of your hair. This will help tame frizz and add a natural shine. Experiment to find the perfect amount for your hair type.

What is in Lavender Oil?

Our already diluted lavender oil for hair and skin only contains vegan ingredients and was formulated without the use of animal testing.

Let’s take a closer look at exactly what is in our Lavender Oil, how it can help you and why it is a perfect addition to your hair care routine!

Lavender (Bulgarian) essential oil

Bulgarian lavender oil is fantastic for a number of reasons. For hair, it stimulates growth, strengthens follicles, reduces loss, and battles scalp conditions like dandruff. It also offers a calming aroma to soothe stress.

For skin, it's a protective shield against bacteria and free radicals, preventing acne and signs of ageing. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritation, promoting a balanced, healthy complexion.

Plus, its calming scent aids relaxation and sleep, vital for skin rejuvenation.

Jojoba oil

Derived from the seeds of the jojoba plant indigenous to southwestern North America, jojoba oil is technically a wax ester rather than an oil.

It closely mimics skin's natural sebum, leading to quick absorption without any oily residue. Ideal for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone, it moisturises while balancing the skin's oil production.

It benefits hair health by moisturising the scalp and strands, mitigating frizz, and enhancing shine.

Argan oil

Originating from the Moroccan Argan tree's kernels, argan oil is abundant in vitamin E and fatty acids. It's revered for its intense hydrating and nourishing properties for both skin and hair.

It combats signs of ageing, moisturises dry skin, and imparts a radiant sheen and softness to hair.

Sweet almond oil

Sweet almond oil is a veritable treasure trove of nutrients. On the skin, it acts as a robust moisturiser, combats signs of ageing with its antioxidant properties, and calms inflammation and irritation.

For hair, it boosts hydration, tackles dryness and scalp flakiness, adds a lustrous shine and softness to the hair, and eases scalp inflammation.
