Made from flowers of the Ylang Ylang tree commonly found in tropical areas, the essential oil from this plant is exotic and floral with hints of jasmine, citrus, and subtle creaminess. Ylang ylang oil has been used in a number of different perfumes and cosmetic items thanks to its enchanting aroma and the many benefits it can offer to hair and skin.
When used on your hair, ylang ylang oil can help prevent hair loss by increasing circulation to the scalp. This encourages hair growth and prevents your hair from thinning. The aroma of ylang ylang can also help with stress reduction which will lower your chances of losing your hair. Additionally, ylang ylang will balance the oils on your scalp leading to healthier hair and reducing the risk of hair breakage.
To use ylang ylang oil to keep your hair strong and healthy, mix it into a carrier oil and apply it as a hair mask on a regular basis. You can also add a few drops into your shampoo and conditioner to benefit each time you wash your locks.
