Cedarwood Oil For Hair

Rated 4.9 out of 5
Based on 11 reviews

Cedarwood oil is known for its warm, woodsy aroma and its longstanding use in natural hair care. This fragrant essential oil is often chosen for its ability to support the appearance of full, beautiful-looking hair and add a soothing element to scalp massage routines.

Whether blended into hair oils, added to shampoo, or used in DIY masks, cedarwood oil provides a calming aromatic experience while helping your hair look its best. It pairs beautifully with other earthy or herbal oils, like rosemary or tea tree, and can turn your wash days into spa days.

Ready to Use Blend

Cedarwood oil is available in a ready-to-use blend, already mixed with a nourishing carrier oil so it can be applied directly to your scalp or hair without any additional prep.

To use, apply a small amount directly to the scalp and massage in circular motions. Leave it in for at least 30 minutes or overnight before rinsing or shampooing as usual.

Undiluted - Mix with Carrier Oil

Undiluted cedarwood oil is highly concentrated and should always be diluted before applying to hair or skin. For a simple blend, add 3–5 drops of cedarwood oil to a tablespoon of carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond. This mixture can be massaged into the scalp, added to a hair mask, or used in your weekly routine for a woodsy, luxurious experience.

How to Mix Cedarwood Oil for Hair 

Combine 3–5 drops of cedarwood oil with a tablespoon of carrier oil like grapeseed or castor oil and massage into the scalp. You can also add it directly to your shampoo or conditioner—just 3–4 drops per ounce—for a gentle, earthy boost.

Highlights
Certified 100% Pure Essential Oil
Why Purity MattersEssential Oils are sourced from all over the world, and not every source is created equal. Some producers add dilutants, fillers, other oils, or even chemicals to their oils before they ship them out. That is why 3rd-party testing is so important. If you don't see test results, it is possible the oil you are purchasing is not what you think it is.

Though all Wholesale Botanics oils are safe to use as directed, this 100% pure oil is the most natural version of Essential Oil possible, free of any additional substances. Scroll down to see its unique downloadable third-party lab test to verify its purity.

We want our essential oils to have a positive impact on the world, and we avoid suppliers who don't share those values.
