Adding a few drops of essential oil to a mild shampoo or to the
final rinse water will enhance the hair. This not only conditions
the hair, but can also be used as an alcohol-based scalp rub to ward
off unwanted parasites such as lice - 5ml essential oil to 100ml
vodka. Another very beneficial method for conditioning both scalp
and hair, would be to add approximately 60 drops of essential oil to
a nourishing base oil, such as olive oil, massaging it into the
scalp then wrapping the head with a warm towel for an hour or two.
