At Home Hair Care

Essential Oils for Hair CareAccording to scientific research hairs are only dead tissues that grow out of the hair follicles embedded in the skin. Hence the role of oil treatments to promote hair growth and cure any degree of hair loss has been controversial in modern sciences. However, in 1998 a study was carried out by Scottish researchers and published in the Archives of Dermatology (1998; 134:1349-1352) proved that aromatherapy can effectively promote new hair growth.In the study half of the 84 patients were massaged a combination of essential oils on daily basis for a period of seven months, while the rest of half patients were massaged with jojoba oil and grapeseed oils. Following recipe was used;
Thyme oil - 2 drops
Rosemary oil - 3 drops
Lavender oil - 3 drops
Cedarwood oil - 2 drops
Jojoba oil - 3 ml
Grapeseed oil - 20mlAfter a period of seven months, it was observed that about 44% of the patients who used essential oils showed a considerable growth of hairs, whereas the other group showed just 15% improvement.
This was an important achievement that made clear the role of essential oils in hair care. Since then there are innumerable hairproducts in the market that claim to use these oils as their major ingredient. These herbal treatments for hairs are surely less expansive and less likely to cause any severe side effects while have a success rate near to chemical based medical treatments. link....
