Herbal Scalp Massage Bars
Makes 4 – 6 Bars
Ingredients & Equipment
- 2 ounces Amla Oil
- 2 ounces Jojoba Esters, MP70
- 1 ounce Argan Oil
- 3/4 ounce Olive Squalene
- 3/4 ounce Copaiba Balsam Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Rosemary Essential Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Chamomile Essential Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Tea Tree Essential Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Lavender Essential Oil
- Tart Pans
- Double Boiler
Directions
Add the Jojoba Esters to your double boiler and heat until fully melted. Next, add the Copaiba Balsam, Amla, Argan, and Vegetable Squalene Oils. Stir together quickly, then remove the mixture from the heat. Stir in the Essential Oils and mix well, then carefully pour the mixture into Tart Pans. Allow them to cool and harden completely before moving the pans. When they are ready, carefully tap each bar out of its tart pan.
Usage & Packaging
Warm the bar in your hands to produce a small amount of melted oil. Rub the oil gently into the roots of the hair, rubbing the scalp in a soft, circular motion. Be careful to massage as gently as possible. The object is to stimulate the scalp without pulling or damaging the hair. Follow the massage with your favorite shampoo and conditioner or rinse.
These bars look lovely packed in our Small Cello Bags. Tie them shut with a little ribbon, a gold twist tie, or a fun tag.

Should hair and scalp be wet or dry when using this? Thank you
The Natural Beauty Workshop says
Hi Wendy,
This recipe works best on dry hair, but it could certainly be used on damp hair as well.
Butterfly says
Hi. Does this need to be rinsed or can you leave it on the scalp? Also does this promote hair growth or what oil could be added? Thanks ?

Hello and thank you for your note! You would want to follow the massage with shampooing and conditioning or you may rinse out. As for promoting hair growth, the Amla oil in this formulation is touted as being helpful to promote healthy hair growth. You may also be interested in Black Castor Oil as it is noted to help, as well.

Ok thank you. I am looking to incorporate a light oil leave in dry scalp and growth treatment. Any suggestions?
