Here are a few simple recipes that you can choose from The Dolphin Clinic.

hair care

They are SIMPLE, ECONOMICAL & EFFECTIVE. Your hair will look and feel much better. I know the thought of making these seems a little daunting – but do it once and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Regular Conditioning Treatment
10mls Almond Oil
10mls Avocado Oil
7 drops Rosemary Essential Oil
5 drops Geranium Essential Oil

Put into a small bottle or cup, mix (stir or shake) and massage into scalp, leave on for as long as possible, and shampoo off. Ideally do this once or twice a week, you will see the benefits of softer healthier hair.

Extra Conditioning Treatment for very DRY Hair
10mls Jojoba Oil
10mls Avocado Oil
5 drops Rose Essential Oil
4 drops Sandalwood Essential Oil
4 drops Geranium Essential Oil

Warm the Jojoba and Avocado by placing them in a cup inside a bowl of hot water, wait a few minutes until the oil is warm, add the essential oils and mix. Rub into the scalp using approximately 1/3rd at a time. Cover your head with a towel and relax for 10-20 minutes (or as long as you can!).  Then apply your shampoo to dry hair, then add water and shampoo and condition your hair as normal. The results are worth the effort.

Boost your Conditioner
If you don’t have time right now to do the above conditioning treatments simply add Jojoba to your conditioner, leave on for 5 minutes and rinse off as normal. Lots of natural hair care products claim to have Jojoba in them, but it is often only in small amounts.  Boost it up with Organic Jojoba Oil for real benefits.

Dandruff
10mls Almond Oil
10ml Jojoba Oil
5 drops Lavender Essential Oil
5 drops Rosemary Essential Oil
2 drops Cedarwood Essential Oil

Put into a small bottle or cup, mix and massage into scalp, leave on for as long as possible, and shampoo off. Ideally do this once or twice a week.

Hair Rinse
Hair rinses seem to have gone out of fashion lately. This is a shame as they can add a lovely shine to your hair, and they are easy to apply.
20mls Water
10mls Apple Cider Vinegar
15 drops of the following essential oil(s) depending on your hair type.

Dry Hair: Sandalwood, Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Cedarwood, Geranium
Normal Hair: Lavender, Rosemary, Lemon
Oily Hair:    Clary Sage, Lemon, Cypress, Eucalyptus
Split Ends: Chamomile, Geranium, Rosewood
Flaky Scalp: Patchouli, Rosewood

Simply mix in a bottle or cup. Have it in the shower with you. Once you have finished washing your hair, squeeze out excess water, poor the rinse over your head, massage into the scalp and towel dry hair. Style as usual.

Headlice
Use Dolphin Clinic Headlice Treatment.

It contains Geranium, Thyme, Eucalyptus and NZ Manuka, in a combination of Almond and Jojoba carrier oils.

Apply to dry hair, comb through to ensure complete coverage. Leave on for several hours, preferably overnight. Apply shampoo to dry hair, then add water, rinse and condition.
