Rescue - Dry Scalp and Hair Oil Treatment
Rescue hair and scalp oil treatment helps soothe and moisturise a dry and itchy scalp, and can also help manage symptoms of psoriasis. I originally blended this for myself to help with my psoriasis as I didn't want to go back to using the 'tar shampoo' or similar that was prescribed to me as a teenager. This blend of plant and essential oils has nourishing and healing benefits to calm itchiness, soften any dry scales or patches and encourage growth.
Directions:
Part hair in sections and apply 1-2 drops of oil directly to the scalp along each parting give the scalp a good massage, rubbing in circular motions to promote circulation and concentrate on any particularly dry or scaly patches. Leave on between 20 min - 1 hour, if you want a deep treatment wrap your head in a warm, damp towel. Rescue oil should soften any dry scales in order to loosen them from the scalp. When ready rinse oil away thoroughly then shampoo and condition as usual, preferably with plant based products. I especially love Ethique 'Heali Kiwi' Shampoo bar and Frankie Apothecary Kumarahou & Kawakawa Shampoo bar for their specialty in helping dry, itchy scalps. You may want to double shampoo if there is still some oil residue, or apply the oil to already wet hair. Repeat once or twice a week.
