The benefits of hair oiling

 

It is no secret that hair oiling comes with a range of wonderful benefits! Oils have been used in hair care across different cultures for many years.

Hair oils are typically massaged into the scalp and can also be applied to the length of the hair. Massaging the scalp with a nourishing oil stimulates blood flow leading to longer and thicker hair.

Some other benefits of using specific hair oils include:

• Softer hair
• Reduced frizz
• Increased shine
• Less hair fall
• Moisturized scalp

 

The spiritual significance of hair

 

Hair holds different meanings for people across a range of cultures worldwide.

Some of these include hair as being:

• An extension of the spiritual self
• A symbol of personal power
• A way to express cultural identity
• A way to express one’s individual identity and unique preferences

 

Many people believe that hair holds energy. Some consider it an extension of the nervous system and crown chakra where the hair is seen as a spiritual antenna connecting to the divine.

In witchcraft, hair is used and seen in different ways in one’s practice.

Some practitioners may choose to practice veiling which involves covering the head fully or partially and the reasons for veiling will vary across different individuals.

Commonly, veiling is used to intentionally cover the crown chakra and hair for protective purposes. This can assist when you are particularly sensitive to other’s energies. Some may also choose to veil when performing divination.

Some individuals may use hair braiding as a form of knot magick where intentions are placed as you braid the hair. Accessories that correspond with the desired intention can be worn alongside braids such as braiding a black ribbon into your hair for protection or perhaps a pink ribbon to increase self-love. Oils (such as this recipe) that have been enchanted for a specific purpose can also be added to the hair before braiding to lock in the intention.

 

How to use this hair oil recipe for hair braiding:

This oil is perfect for adding to protection braids to protect yourself against negative energy and evil eye!

In the case of using the oil that we will be making today along with a hair braid, I would suggest adding 1-2 small drops of oil onto the section of hair that you intend to braid so that the hair is not too saturated.

Simply recite affirmations that align with your intentions such as ‘I am protected’ and ‘All evil eye sent my way instantly returns to the sender’ as you braid the hair or you can speak an incantation that you have previously prepared.

 

The physical & magickal properties of this hair oil recipe

 

The hair growth oil recipe that we will be discussing in this post contains just 2 simple ingredients… Olive oil & rosemary!

Olive oil is super moisturising, high in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties making this oil particularly soothing for the scalp.

The magickal properties of olive oil include protection.

 

Rosemary is fabulous for hair growth! It has anti-inflammatory properties and it is said that rosemary can prevent excess hair fall.

A study in 2015 which aimed to investigate the efficacy of rosemary oil vs minoxidil (which is commonly used to treat hair growth) in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia showed that rosemary oil led to a significant increase in hair count. It was also found that those who were assigned to rosemary oil found less scalp itching compared to those assigned to minoxidil.

The magickal properties of rosemary include purification and protection.

What you will need:

• 2-3 sprigs of fresh organic rosemary
• 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil
• Double boiler
• A bottle to store your oil
• Wooden/stainless steel utensil for stirring
• Strainer
• Funnel

 

How to make your hair oil:

Step 1) Wash and fully dry the rosemary.

Step 2) Fill the bottom pot of your double boiler with around 1-1.5” of water (be mindful that the water won’t touch the base of the pot with the oil later), and place it on the stove at medium heat.

Step 3) While waiting for the water to boil, add 1 cup of olive oil to the other pot setting your intention.

Step 4) Now add the rosemary to the oil setting your intention.

You may wish to stir the ingredients together now infusing the mixture further with your intentions. You could recite an incantation, use visualisation or however you would personally like to do this step to enchant the oil.

Step 5) When the water on the stove is coming to a boil, turn the heat down to a medium-low setting.

Step 6) Now carefully place the pot with the oil over the other pot so you have your double boiler (You may wish to use gloves to avoid burning yourself).

Step 7) Leave the pot to simmer for 15-20 minutes whilst stirring occasionally, avoid boiling the oil.

Step 8) After 15-20 minutes, turn off the heat – whilst wearing gloves take off the pot with the oil and place it aside leaving it to fully cool.

Step 9) When cooled, strain the oil and place it into your container of choice – make sure there are no rosemary leaves left in the oil.

Step 10) Store in a cool, dark place and use as needed.

 

How to use your hair growth oil

 

Step 1) Gently massage the oil into the scalp and hair (don’t over-saturate). You may wish to use a scalp massage tool if you have one.

Step 2) Leave the oil in to work its magic before washing it out – It is not recommended to oil your hair for more than 2-4 hours.

• Avoid brushing your hair after applying the oil.
• Avoid putting your hair in a tight hairstyle after applying the oil, you could use a claw clip or a satin scrunchie to be gentle on the hair.

Repeat 1-2 times a week for best results!
