Flaky Scalp Comfort rituals

Scalp comfort

Aloe Rosemary Scalp Calm

Comforting pre-wash scalp mask.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp aloe vera gel
  • 1/2 tsp rosemary-infused oil
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Why These Ingredients

  • Aloe vera adds a light conditioning feel and helps the recipe spread gently.
  • Rosemary-infused oil keeps the rosemary element in an oil-friendly form, so the blend feels more coherent on the scalp.
  • Coconut oil helps coat dry-feeling lengths or scalp areas, but a small amount keeps the finish refined.

How to prepare

Mix the measured ingredients in a clean small bowl until smooth. Prepare fresh for one use only; do not store leftovers.

How to apply

  1. Part hair in sections and dab a thin layer onto the scalp.
  2. Massage lightly for 30 seconds only.
  3. Keep away from eyes and rinse if any tingling appears.

How long to leave on hair

Leave on hair/scalp for 10–20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and shampoo well if any oil, egg, yogurt, or honey remains.

Frequency of use

Use once weekly. For sensitive scalp, start every 2 weeks and stop if irritation appears.

Patch test note

Patch test behind the ear or on the inner arm for 24 hours before use. Avoid if you react to any ingredient; onion, egg, citrus, salt, and herbs can irritate sensitive scalp.
