We recommended doing scalp massages 2-4 times a week to achieve maximum benefits. Also incorporating a natural oil like our Grapefruit & Mint Hair Growth Oil will help prevent a dry and itchy scalp, fight dandruff and flaking.

Tips for Using Peppermint Oil

1.) Peppermint oil should always be diluted before use with a carrier oil, failure to do so will cause skin irritation and a burning sensation. (Our Grapefruit & Mint Oil is diluted and safe to use)

2.) Avoid getting peppermint oil in the eyes or mouth

3.) Preform a patch test 24hours before use and if redness or skin irritation occur discontinue use
