1
Use a small bowl to mix the essential oils required for the hair tonic. You will need 3 drops of lavender, thyme, cedarwood and rosemary essential oils.
-
2
Add 1/8 cup of jojoba oil and 1/8 cup of grapeseed oil. These oils are the carrier oils. Carrier oils deliver the essential oils' healing properties to the scalp without irritating it.
-
3
Mix all the oils thoroughly. Their scents will start to permeate the air.
-
4
Use an eyedropper to gather up a few drops of the hair tonic. Put it in your hair. You may want to do this over a sink so you do not drip on yourself.
-
5
Massage the lavender oil mixture into your scalp for 3 to 5 minutes each night. Pay special attention to bald patches but apply to your entire scalp.
-
6
Wash your hands well with soap and water after applying the oil.
-
7
Wrap your head in a towel or spread a towel over your pillow to avoid getting the oil on your bedclothes.
-
8
Keep the oil in a tightly closed container. Store it in a cool, dry place.

Examine the results. Essential oils stimulate the senses and the hair follicles. Some people report a slower rate of hair loss from using lavender oil, while others report new hair growth as well.
