Why people love it:

Strengthens hair at the root

Calms inflammation and irritation

Helps reduce dandruff and dry scalp

Can even slow down graying and hair thinning

Safe for most scalps and gentle enough for frequent use

Only downside?

It’s more of a slow burn. You won’t see crazy results in two weeks, but give it a couple of months, and it really starts working its magic.

How to use both (Without wrecking your scalp)

Here’s the deal – no matter which one you go for, never apply essential oils directly. Always mix a few drops (like 2–3) with a tablespoon of carrier oil.

Massage the mix into your scalp for 5–10 minutes (great excuse for a little self-care), then leave it on for at least an hour. You can even sleep with it overnight if your scalp is cool with that. Do this 2–3 times a week, and thank yourself later.

And always, always do a patch test first. Because no one wants a red, itchy scalp in the name of hair goals.
