I realize that a lot of these oils will more than likely not be used on your hair, but in the name of caution... I feel that it`s important to post this for those that may be new to essential oils or those that may stumble across this board.
It is not recommended that essential oils be used directly on the skin (other than those oils identified as safe for "neat" -undiluted topical use by the drop in site specific use)- or that they be taken internally.
Do not use the following oils if you are pregnant:
Skin irritants. The following oils may cause irritation to sensitive, inflamed, or allergic skin types:
Aniseed, Basil, Bay, Benzoin, Camphor, Citronella, Fennel, Lemon, Lemongrass, Lemon verbena, Melissa, Nutmeg, Peppermint, Rose (in high concentrations), Rosemary, and Ylang Ylang (in high concentrations); or any absolute or concrete (solvent extracted).
People with sensitive skin should only use Cinnamon, Fennel, and Thyme in 2% dilution. Oregano should not be used in baths.
Always keep away from children`s reach!
Other precautions: Avoid hazardous oils! Keep oils away from heat & light. Reduce dilutions by 50% for pregnant women, children, and elderly persons. Do not use on or near the eyes. Do skin patch test if prone to skin sensitivity and use extra care on broken or damaged skin. Avoid phototoxic oils with a history of skin cancer. Buy only genuine and authentic therapeutic grade essential oils and use them with respect and care.
Hair type: fine but thick; natural blonde with 15% grey
