  • I've been collecting hair recipes and have meant to post some of them. I've gotten many from other sites/boards and some hair. If you see any repeats from this board, please forgive me. I hope this helps someone..I've used some of these and they have helped me..

  • *Riquette’s Basic Stimulator
  • Apply every night.
  • 6 teaspoons rosemary oil
  • 3 teaspoons basil oil (if available; otherwise use 2 teaspoon of rosemary oil)
  • 3 teaspoons lavender oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon oil
  • Put the oils into an amber bottle with a glass dropper top.
  • Close tightly and shake well to mix. Label.
  • Pour two teaspoons of Basic Stimulator into a glass bowl.
  • Massage into your scalp with your fingertips. Divide you hair into small sections at the hair line and work from the forehead to the crown.
  • Concentrate on the areas of balding, then distribute the remainder over the rest
  • of the head, hairline and ends of the hair.
  • Leave the Basic Stimulator on your head overnight. Most of the oils will
  • have been absorbed by your hair and scalp, so you need not be concerned about getting oil on your pillow. If you still want to play it safe, cover your pillow with a terry cloth towel.
  • In the morning, wash out with the Hair and Scalp Shampoo or your favorite shampoo. The Basic Stimulator is a nightly treatment.
  • *Riquette’s Super Stimulator
  • Apply once a week.
  • 2 teaspoons Basic Stimulator
  • 2 teaspoons basic oil or rosemary oil
  • 1 teaspoon of white iodine
  • 1/2-teaspoon caster oil
  • Put ingredients in an amber glass bottle with a glass dropper top.
  • Close tightly and shake to mix thoroughly. Label.
  • Apply Super stimulate to the scalp in the same way as the Basic Stimulator. Massage for 10 minutes, and then leave on the head 10 minutes longer. You can then shampoo and condition or Riquette suggest you continue on to the Slougher Cocktail.
  • *Robson's Herbal Hair Growth Oil
  • Ingredients:
  • Any good base oil (sweet almond, coconut, grapeseed, olive)
  • A handful of Stinging Nettle
  • A spring of Thyme (dried)
  • Essential Oils:
  • 4 drops Rosemary oil
  • 4 drops Lavender oil
  • 4 drops Peppermint oil
  • Method:
  • Soak or macerate stinging nettle and thyme into a cup of base oil (make sure that the oil covers the nettle and thyme, or else the exposed areas will rot) for about two weeks to a month (if you can)
  • Add eo's to the base oil, and use as a hot oil treatment.
  • If you use lighter base oils like grapeseed or almond, you can apply to hair since the oils will be light enough.
  • *Natural Sun Protection Oil
  • Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of sesame seed oil
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil (for extra protection)
  • Essential Oils:
  • 10 drops carrot seed e.o.
  • 10 drops tea tree e.o.
  • Method:
  • Mix together and slather generously into hair before going out into the sun - especially the beach!
  • Submitted by The Robsons
  • To rinse out, put shampoo directly on your hair, (don't wet your hair down first) and work into a rich lather. Rinse then continue your routine as normal.
  • *HOT OIL TREATMENT:
  • Hot oil treatments are very popular since they are easy to use and give good results if you have very dry hair or hair that has been damaged by over processing. Hot oil treatments help to restore shine and condition to your hair. You can buy these deep-conditioning products commercially for around $1.00 per use. If you use two a week this can really add up, but you could make your own treatments at home and save money. Homemade hair conditioners are easy to make and are very inexpensive.
  • You only need two ingredients: oil and conditioner. You can use olive oil or just plain vegetable oil, which is even cheaper. Put about 1/4 cup of oil in a small saucepan and add a tablespoon of hair conditioner. (You can use any kind of creme rinse, this is good for using up conditioner that you didn't particularly like since you will be shampooing it out anyway). Do not use leave-in conditioners.
