Carrier Oils:

Coconut Oil – Coconut Oil has been known to aid in the growth of hair as well as give it a shiny quality. It is an excellent conditioner, nourishing, and heals damaged hair.

 

Sweet Almond Oil – Famous for its ability to moisturize and nourish skin and hair. Easily absorbed without blocking pores or leaving a greasy residue.

 

Avocado Oil – Nourishes and moisturizes the skin and hair. Supplies antioxidants to support anti-aging efforts. Avocado oil has been a popular carrier oil in aromatherapy thanks to its natural supply of vitamins A, E & D, lecithin, potassium, sterolins and antioxidants.

 

Jojoba Oil – Has been used to aid in more natural hair growth, add moisture, add shine, reduce frizz, adds volume, strengthen hair, improves elasticity, increases softness, and aids in the reduction of dandruff. Jojoba hydrates hair from the inside so it works well in reducing hygral fatigue (the swelling and shrinking of hair as it gets wet and dries. This weakens the hair fiber over time.)
