Term: Basil Oil

Basil oil originated in India but now is cultivated in many countries around the Mediterranean. The botanical name of basic means "quick" because the plant grows so quickly. Authentic basil oil, not the synthethic form, is considered to help with hair loss and scalp related problems when mixed with a carrier oil like almond, jojoba or sesame oil. Basil oil should never be applied "neat" or directly to the scalp or skin since it can burn and be too potent.

Daily Hair Tip
Always detangle wet hair with a good quality hair pick or wide toothed comb. Make sure that the pick or comb's "teeth" are smooth to prevent snagging or ripping delicate wet hair.
