Thanks For Watching!!!!

Essential Oils I Must Have!!!!

Essential Oils I Must Have!!!!

 

 Rosemary Oil

I use Rosemary Oil extensively in my homemade shampoos, hair butters, conditioner for locs and ACV rinses.  It helps to stimulate hair growth and remove dandruff.  But the down side is you must avoid using Rosemary Oil if you are pregnant, breastfeeding and on children under 8 years old.






Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil can be used just like the Rosemary Oil but I use it as a hair clarifier.  It's known as an anti fungal agent that treats yeast and fungus that grows on the scalp which is dandruff.  I used it to treat mildew in my locs which happened when I went to sleep with wet locs.  The mildew is gone but I continue to use it to make sure it does not come back.  The down side is that you must not use it extensively because Tea Oil can dry out your locs.

Peppermint Oil

I use Peppermint Oil in my shampoos, hot oil treatments, hair butters and in water to make a daily spritz.  Peppermint oil works as an astringent and it conditions the hair.  It cools and refreshes your scalp while it leaves your hair smelling great.  The oil also fights dandruff, treat itchy scalp and promote hair growth but it must be diluted before use.

Lavender Oil

Lavender oil helps to soothe an irritated scalp and stimulate the hair follicles for growth.  I use this oil in my shampoos, homemade conditioner for locs and my hot oil treatments.  This oil smells great and every time I use it in my hot oil treatments it gives me a calming feeling.

Ylang Ylang Oil

Ylang Ylang oil smells so great!!!!  I use this in my homemade conditioner for locs and shampoos.  This oil stimulates hair growth and it is a natural conditioner.

Thanks you reading:)

Diva Desert Locs

WHAT ARE THE ESSENTIAL OILS YOU MUST HAVE?????

 

Hi Everyone!!!
This is Diva Desert Locs coming at with a quick DIY hot oil treatment.

First you will need 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil depending on the length of your hair.

Olive Oil

Then you will need to add 5 drops of Essential Oil. 

Depending on my mood I will use pure Peppermint or Lavender oil.  For example, since Peppermint oil is known to open and cleanse your pores it usually gives me that fresh and awake feeling.

Peppermint Oil

And Lavender oil is a calming oil so it usually gives me that calming feeling while it is soothing my scalp and stimulating my hair follicles.

Lavender Oil

Then warm your oil in the microwave for 25 to 30 seconds.  Distribute the oil to your scalp and hair.  Make sure to massage the oil into your scalp really good and then cover with a plastic cap.  From this point you can use a heating cap or a warm towel and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes.  FYI if you have long locs a warm towel will work best.  Rinse and clarify your hair and you are done.

HENNA FOR HAIR COLOR

I use Henna to cover my gray because it’s all natural.  Since I decided not to perm my hair anymore; to me it does not make sense to use chemicals like a dye to cover the gray in my hair.

Henna is not a chemical but a plant called Lawsonia Inermis that is naturally harvested and dried to put into powder form. When Henna is mixed with a mild acidic liquid it will stain skin, hair and fingernails a reddish-orange color.

Henna is found mostly in the Middle East and Northern African. It can only grow in hot and dry areas like the desert regions. I purchase my Henna online at www.mehandi only. They sell body art quality Henna which is 100% pure and the quality of the Henna is tested before it is sold to customers.

Pure Henna only comes in red-orange which is just right for meJ Unfortunately there is no such thing as black, neutral, blonde, brown or any color Henna but you can make other colors by blending it with Indigo and Cassia which are two other plants.

If you are interested in coloring your hair naturally I believe Henna is your best option.  To learn more about the benefits of Henna and how to use it go to www.hennaforhair .

My Hair Regime

Below is my current hair regime.  I usually change my regime when I learn new things or if I see something wrong with my hair:

Daily
I spritz my locs with Rose water or Peppermint water (whichever one I have available).  I only oil my locs and scalp when it feels dry.

Weekly
I wash my locs weekly using the following method:
I pre-soak my locs with Castor oil.
Wash them 2x with one of my homemade Shampoos.
Then I condition them with my homemade conditioner for locs.
I clarify them using a Lemon, Tea Tree or ACV rinse.
Rinse my hair with very warm water and then with cold water.
While my locs are still soaking wet I apply Olive Oil to them.
To dry them, I wrap them up in a microfiber towel for 15 minutes and then I let them air dry.

Hi Everyone:)
Check out my hairstyle of the day!!!

I just love styling my locs:)))
