Scent For Hair Oil.

Some of the herbal hair oils have strange/strong odors depending on the ingredients used.Ayurveda believes in certain combinations that works so I wouldn’t alter the ingredients.Which hair oil did you make?

Essential oil such as lavender,rosemary,peppermint, khus (vettiver), marjoram and ylang ylang are known to control hair loss and improve hair growth.Few drops of any of the above mentioned essential oil is added egg hair packs to beat the odor and to carrier oils such as coconut, olive or almond oil for hair growth but not sure about adding them to a herbal oil.However you could try adding 10-15 drops of essential oil to a tbsp of herbal oil and test on yourself since it’s only external.

Here are some herbal hair oils that are aromatic too.I have tried and tested the first one on my family and this controls hair fall making it healthy.
