5 Benefits of Peppermint Oil That Will Make Your Hair Feel Like New


Peppermint oil is amazing!

But do you know what makes peppermint oil amazing?

In this article, I discuss 5 benefits of peppermint oil for your hair.

I love using peppermint oil because it makes me feel like this . . .

1) Soothes a Dry Scalp

Peppermint oil is anti-inflammatory, which means it will help soothe your scalp. As a result, this helps with dry scalp, prevent lice, and eliminate dandruff. For optimal results, it is best to add peppermint oil to your favorite carrier oil and apply it at night, right before you go to bed.

2) Helps to Grow Hair 

Peppermint oil is an essential oil that can help with hair growth. Essential oils help with blood circulation to the scalp, which in turn creates thickness of the hair and follicles. When working on growing your hair, you should apply the peppermint oil to your favorite carrier oil or shampoo/conditioner for deep moisture. Then, let the oil do its work. Once deep in your scalp, peppermint oil can help make your hair roots stronger and provide some needed nutrients to your hair. 

3) Strengthens Hair/Roots 

Peppermint oil is made from menthol and menthone. This helps to strengthen your hair roots and prevents damage. Many shampoos have peppermint in them, but if yours does not, then you should add a few drops of peppermint oil to it. In a shampoo, peppermint oil acts as a cleanser for your hair, which helps to naturally cleanse it. This will help your scalp to breathe and feel rejuvenated.   

4 ) Refreshes Hair 

Peppermint oil gives your hair a refreshing look and creates more shine. Due to its makeup, peppermint oil can kill off many types of fungus. For peppermint oil to refresh your hair, it is important to do a pre-shampoo treatment with peppermint oil and another carrier oil and then rinse it before shampooing it. Peppermint oil may feel tingly with a minty feeling to your scalp, and it will act as a deep conditioner and will refresh your hair. 

5) It is All-Natural 

Peppermint oil is light, with a great scent! It can moisturize your hair without it feeling greasy and weighed down. Studies have shown that peppermint oil can help to balance your scalp’s PH level. The good news is that peppermint does not contain harsh chemicals, which also makes it a good herbal treatment. 

***Please Note*** Undiluted peppermint essential oils can cause a burning sensation on your skin. Always dilute oils with a carrier oil to help protect your skin.
