Rosemary Castor Strength Oil

A strengthening oil blend.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp rosemary-infused oil
  • 1 tsp castor oil
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Why These Ingredients

  • Rosemary-infused oil keeps the rosemary element in an oil-friendly form, so the blend feels more coherent on the scalp.
  • Castor oil adds richness and slip, so it is best used sparingly before washing.
  • 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. Mix the oils in a tiny dish and use less than you think.
  2. Apply to scalp areas before washing, not through the full lengths.
  3. Massage lightly for 30 seconds and shampoo well.

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.
