Myrrh Oil for Hair

Created from the resin of the myrrh tree that is native to northern Africa and the Middle East, myrrh essential oil has a long history of being gifted to royalty and used in a number of perfumes, cosmetic products, and traditional health remedies. The aroma of myrrh is part of what makes it so luxurious, as it has an aromatic woody and slightly sweet smell to it. Myrrh oil is also packed with essential antioxidants and nutrients that give it powerful benefits for hair health.

Myrrh essential oil helps to stimulate circulation and oil glands in the scalp; this works to hydrate dry itchy skin and can help to take care of problems such as dandruff. It may also help to balance and nourish hair that is on the more dry and damaged side. Additionally, due to its many nutrients and power to encourage scalp circulation, myrrh essential oil encourages hair growth and can help your locks grow strong and healthy.

To use myrrh essential oil on your hair, add several drops to a carrier oil and use it as a hair mask on a routine basis. You can also blend a few drops of the oil into your shampoo and conditioner.
