Citronella Oil for Hair

Rated 4.7 out of 5
Based on 3 reviews

Due to its impressive anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, citronella essential oil can help treat scalp conditions such as dandruff or general dryness. It works to moisturize the scalp, which can strengthen and hydrate hair, prevent frizziness, and stop skin flaking.

If you want to use citronella oil to treat dandruff, you should mix a few drops of the oil into your shampoo or a carrier oil and apply it daily. Make sure to rinse out the shampoo or oil after each use. For dry hair, add a few drops of citronella oil into your conditioner each time you use it.


To create a hydrating hair mask, mix several drops of citronella oil with your favorite premade hair mask or a hydrating carrier oil (such as coconut) and apply it liberally to damp hair. Let the mask sit on your hair for 5 to 15 minutes and then rinse off. Repeat this process one to two times a week for best results.

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.
Responsibly sourced with renewable practices
We strive to thoroughly vet each supplier we work with for their sustainability, environmental responsibility, and labor practices to ensure that they protect both people and the planet for generations to come. We want our essential oils to have a positive impact on the world, and we avoid suppliers who don't share those values.
Wholesale Botanics essential oils are carefully distilled and evaluated to ensure aromatic and therapeutic potency.

Hydrated hair

My hair is much more hydrated, that is evident, but my scalp isn't getting the same results. Maybe with continuous use that will change though.

Straight hair with no strays

This oil completely eliminates the frizz from my hair so I don't get those annoying strays popping out everywhere.

Anti-frizz

I straighten my hair very often, think almost every day, sometimes twice. My hair is properly damaged after years of doing this. Citronella hair has helped with hydrating it and also eliminate most of the frizziness.
