Frankincense oil is a great choice for promoting a healthy scalp, fighting dandruff, and encouraging hair growth. The oil is both nourishing and strengthening, and thanks to anti-inflammatory properties, it is especially soothing and moisturizing.
To use frankincense for your hair, add a few drops into your shampoo or conditioner each time you wash. If you want to use frankincense to treat dandruff, you should be using the oil mixed into either a shampoo or carrier oil every day. To encourage hair growth, frankincense works well when combined with castor oil and either rosemary or lavender essential oil and then applied to your hair.
Frankincense essential oil can also be helpful as a part of a hair mask. Combine several drops of frankincense oil with your favorite carrier oil and apply it to damp hair. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 15 minutes and then rinse out. The hair mask will hydrate and strengthen your hair and leave behind a soothing, exotic scent.
