Everyone wants their hair to be long, thick and healthy, but it is not easy to take care of hair in today's polluted environment. Do you know that peppermint oil is considered very beneficial for hair health? However, it is important to use it in the right way and with caution. Let us know in detail the benefits and method of use of peppermint oil.
1. Increases blood circulation: Peppermint oil containing menthol cools the scalp and improves blood circulation, thereby strengthening the hair roots.
2. Prevents hair loss: Due to better blood circulation and nutrition, hair growth improves and hair fall is reduced.
3. Relief in dandruff and itching: Peppermint helps in reducing dandruff and scalp itching due to its antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
4. Cleans the scalp: It helps keep the scalp clean by removing excess oil and dirt.
1. Mix with shampoo or conditioner: Add 1–2 drops of peppermint oil to your regular shampoo or conditioner. Apply it to the hair and leave it for 5–10 minutes and then wash it off. This will give a feeling of coolness and freshness.
2. Mix with carrier oil: Never apply peppermint oil directly on the scalp. Mix it in a carrier oil like coconut oil, almond oil or jojoba oil in the ratio of 1:10. Then massage the scalp with light hands and wash the hair after 15–20 minutes.
