It's not enough oil to make your hair look oily. I use coconut oil, hemp and Argan oil if my hair feels dry. and sometimes Cocoa Butter. I have had a bottle of Sandalwood for a very long time. If you get pure therapeutic grade oils you will not need to use more than 1 or 2 drops.

I do not buy the ones in the store because they are not therapeutic or food grade. they contain solvents and chemicals and are not pure. That is why I recommend, Young Living Oils and Mountain Rose Herbs. I still investigate to find new places that offer therapeutic grade oils. All the oils I get are pure and most of them may be ingested. There are a few that are NOT to be taken internally; Wintergreen and Jasmine. I take a good amount of the oils internally. They are their own kind of medicine and I really love oils.

What if you have combination hair; oily roots, dry ends?Also, a friend of mine swears by patchouli oil and peppermint oil for sinuses. A drop of each on a rag or towel and enjoy. I personally do not like any kind of mint; but this actually smells great! <3

For sinuses I would use Eucalyptus (there are 3 different ones) and some really good mixes. I kept this information for hair and dreadlocks. There are some oils that are NOT recommended if you are pregnant. There are sites on the internet that list oils to be avoided. I would hope that most pregnant women check everything out. Some of those sites are very cautious with the oils. Many of us have used most of the oils anyway. During the first trimester is the time to be careful with many things and of course some of the oils.

Take care.

Eucalyptus works indeed so well for sinuses ! I love it !

Today I washed with baking soda and ACV again - starting to get quite big knots, hehe - and I used Myrrh essential oil in the BS. According to my sources, it is antiviral, antiinfectious, antiparasitic, and good for irritated skin.

I added only 4 drops for a liter of water, and rinced thoroughly, but my hair still scent a lot like myrrh now. I so love the smell ! Was half a good idea though, because the oil formed some kind of small resinous "stones" in the bottle, didn't dissolve or disperse at all. I'll try to find a solution to that because I had to be extra careful not to let those "stones" get out of the bottle and tangle in my hair...

yes absolutely you can mix many different essential oils together in your mix. if anything i stick with a few drops of tea tree, rosemary, and maybe lavandar, just shake vigerously to mix completely and break down the oils as much as possible baking soda help this happen too.
