Good for Dry Skin. Cover with a shower cap
Have you tried scalp oiling before?
Scalp oil is basically an oil treatment or serum that nourishes the skin on your scalp. It’s good for dry skin because it’s like a moisturizer for your scalp.
What is scalp oil?
You can buy scalp oil treatments pretty much anywhere that sells haircare products but it’s also easy to make your own at home.
DIY Scalp Oil treatment
To make your own scalp oil, you will need:
- An application bottle or dropper bottle.
- A carrier oil such as jojoba oil, coconut oil or almond oil
- A few drops of Essential oil for your preferred fragrance (optional)
Simply mix a tablespoon of carrier oil with a few drops of essential oils in an applicator bottle. This way you can use the dropper to apply oil to your scalp directly. Part your hair in sections to distribute the oil.
After applying the oil gently massage it into your scalp before leaving it to set.
Leave the scalp treatment on for about 30 minutes, then wash it out with your regular shampoo. Your scalp should feel soft and moisturized.
Repeat weekly for dry skin or occasionally as needed.
Cover your scalp oil Treatment
While you wait for your scalp oil treatment to set its a good idea to cover your hair. Don’t risk dripping oil on your couch or carpet. Shower caps are great for this. Oil won’t penetrate the waterproof layer of your shower cap and it will keep your hair insulated while the treatment sets.
Aim for a shower cap with natural fibres on the inside so it won’t irritate your skin. Laminated cotton shower caps are especially good for covering oil treatments like this because you can wash them afterwards. Plus checkout some other ways you can use your shower cap.
