ANSWER
Thanks for dropping by on my little space in the "blogosphere". My scalp oil mix is made of carrier oils that I've found overtime to be most beneficial to my scalp health. See Composition in the image below.
Here's why I chose these oils;
Castor oil: It promotes and stimulates hair growth, makes the hair strands thicker. It has antifungal properties so it prevents dandruff and other fungal scalp issues. It contains Ricinoleic acid, which is believed to help replenish sebum (scalp's natural oil)Coconut oil: It's very penetrative and enhances blood circulation to the scalp thus stimulates hair growth. It has antibacterial properties which prevents itchy scalp, dandruff etc. It is also very rich in vitamins and minerals that are essential for hair and scalp health.
Tea tree oil : It has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties. It prevents and heals scalp issues like dryness, flakiness, Itchy scalp and also dandruff. At the beginning of my healthy hair journey, my scalp was always terribly itchy. Even just a day after washing and deep conditioning. I introduced tea tree oil to my regimen and that was it. My scalp is now super healthy. I even added it to my shampoos and deep conditioners.
Peppermint oil: For me this essential oil is the chief hair growth stimulator. I mean you can even feel it working within seconds of application. LOL. #Justkidding. But really, the tingly, minty feel on the scalp is so refreshing and I also always notice an increase in my growth rate anytime I use it consistently. It increases blood circulation to the scalp which rejuvenates the hair follicles and thus leads to increased hair growth.
I apply the oil mix to my scalp and massage it in for about 3 -5 minutes, not just on wash days but at least twice a week
