Daily Growth Spritz

thinfine

I modified the base recipe that I found on another hair website.

Daily Growth Spritz
8oz. aloe vera juice (I use George's "Always Active Aloe" as it doesn't require refrigeration)
2 drops each (rosemary, thyme, cedarwood, lavender essential oils)
1oz (2T) aloe vera gel (I use Lily of the Desert as it doesn't require refrigeration)
1oz (2T) conditioner
.5oz (2.5t) pure jojoba oil
.5oz (2.5t) vegetable glycerin
1 tsp MSM (I use Jarrow's OptiMSM)
shake well, use daily
CAUTION: DO NOT include the rosemary essential oil if you have high blood pressure.

This is to make your hair grow? Is it working for you?

Yes, it is supposed to help with hair growth. Yes, I have noticed an improvement in the thickness of my thin areas (edges & sides). I started using the essential oils in my 'poo & conditioner about 4 months ago. Since I don't cleanse daily, I stopped using the oils in the poo and conditioner and started using the spray without the MSM, about two months ago. Recently, I saw a posting on nappturality about the successful use of sulphur mixed w/oil or MSM mixed w/liquid to create extra hair growth so I added the MSM to the spray. It's only been a few days since I added the MSM. It helps to massage the spray into the scalp of the thin areas. Please note that the essential oils may cause a tingling sensation when you massage it into the scalp. However, it should not burn. It is always wise to do a skin test of each essential oil and the MSM first.

Here are a few links to medical sites that supports the use of the essential oils for regrowth of hair.
