Can you use peppermint extract in your hair?

While peppermint essential oil has shown some potential benefits for hair when applied topically or used as a hair rinse, peppermint extract is generally not formulated for topical hair use. Peppermint extract is typically a concentrated flavoring agent intended for culinary or beverage purposes. As such, it may not have the same properties or desired effects as peppermint essential oil when applied to hair and could potentially be harmful if used incorrectly.
