A note on safe use

Essential oils are concentrated, so always dilute them as the recipes describe and carry out a patch test before using a new blend. Keep oils away from the eyes, and store them out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a sensitive scalp, speak to a qualified practitioner before use.

FAQs

How do I add Rose Geranium oil to my shampoo?

Add a few drops to the amount of shampoo or conditioner you use in one wash, mix in your palm, then apply as usual. Avoid adding oil directly to the whole bottle so the scent stays fresh.

How often can I use the leave-in spray?

You can use it after each wash, or whenever your hair needs a refresh. Shake well before every use and start with a light mist, adjusting to suit your hair type.

What does Rose Geranium smell like?

It has a soft, floral, rose-like aroma with a gentle citrus lift, which makes it a popular choice for fragrancing haircare and skincare.

Can I use these recipes on coloured or treated hair?

The recipes use gentle, natural ingredients, but everyone's hair is different. Patch test first and avoid the recipe if you notice any irritation.
