Aromatherapy Shampoo - For Healthy Vibrant Hair

Aromatherapy Shampoos - Pick Your Favorite Fragrance

The use of an aromatherapy shampoo for healthy hair is nothing new. Herbal remedies and essential oils have been used for centuries to treat everything from baldness to high blood pressure. Aromatherapy shampoos are basic cleansing shampoos with essential oils added. The right shampoo for your type of hair may depend on the condition of your hair.

A typical shampoo consists of hot water and a soap of some type. Really hot water is not good for the hair. Extremely hot water allows the hair shaft to absorb too much water and can fissure. Healthy hair needs closed cuticles to shine. Even aromatherapy shampoos have conditioners or emulsifiers to clean the hair but maintain it as well.

Aromatic shampoo strengthens and renews hair naturally. Experience the therapeutic qualities of fragrant shampoo from the Jericho Spa Collection.

Hair care using aromatherapy oils is a healthy option. Aroma tonics are recommended for oily or thinning hair because they help balance sebum which promotes hair growth. For a quick tonic: use 3 1/2 oz cool lavender water (steep lavender buds tied in muslin in hot water), one tablespoon of cider vinegar and 10 drops of lemon aromatherapy oil. Shake and massage into the scalp.

Dry shampoo is beneficial to hair because shampooing hair everyday isn't good for it. The hair is stripped of protective oils. For a quick dry shampoo: mix one tablespoon orris root powder with one drop of rosemary aromatherapy oil. Sprinkle the dry shampoo on the hair in sections, leave for five minutes and brush thoroughly.

After shampooing, give your hair a final rinse. Add a few drops of chamomile or rosemary aromatherapy oil to one tablespoon of cider vinegar. The aroma is wonderful and the hair will shine with new vitality.

Another aromatherapy hair care tip is to blend your favorite aromatherapy oil with a carrier oil and massage through the scalp. The feeling is sensational and it refreshes and cleanses the scalp which also keeps the hair in good condition.
