Oiling My Scalp

Happy Tuesday everyone! If you've read my past posts, then you know I have issues with dry scalp. For the past several months, I have been using Tea Tree Oil in my Castile soap mixture, and it's helped a lot. Recently, my scalp started getting dry again.

Then I part the big sections into smaller sections and allow a little of the Olive oil to flow onto my scalp. You have to be careful because you can end up with greasy hair. As far as my hair goes, it is usually still a little damp when I apply the oil to my scalp. By the time my hair dries, a lot of the oil has absorbed into my hair and scalp. I purchased this squeeze bottle as part a travel pack of bottles at a dollar store. What's is your favorite kind of oil(s) to use on your hair and scalp?

I originally discussed using the oil nightly, but I have not adjusted to the smell of 100% pure Tea Tree Oil. As a result, I've opted to use it in my cleanser when I wash my hair every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. I apply the Castile soap mixture (with Tea Tree Oil ) to my hair and let it sit for about 3-5 minutes, then I rinse it out. My scalp has been a lot cleaner.  This past week, I decided to shampoo my hair for the first time in 1-2 months. My hair was really dry. Since I have been moisturizing and sealing my hair every night, my hair has been he...
