      My oil mix contains oils targeted towards my hair need for that time. I usually start with the base oil of EVOO, Avocado, Vitamin E, and Almond. I moisturize my hair as needed. I don't have a plan schedule, however, I moisturize more when my hair is not protected.

  It’s generally not recommended to use rosemary oil on infants, as their skin is more sensitive, and certain essential oils can cause irritation or even adverse reactions.

If you’re considering using any essential oils for an infant, it’s essential to consult with a pediatrician first. Always opt for oils specifically formulated for infants and make sure to dilute them appropriately before use. Some oils are safer and more commonly used for infants, like lavender, but again, always get professional guidance.

Can taking probiotics help with hair health?

Can Hard Water Cause Dandruff?

Hard water itself doesn’t directly cause dandruff, but it can contribute to scalp issues that may make dandruff worse.  Here’s how: 🔅Mineral Buildup: Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can leave residue on your scalp and hair. This buildup can irritate the scalp, making it dry and flaky. 🔅Dryness: The minerals in hard water can strip natural oils from the scalp, leading to dryness—a key factor in dandruff. 🔅Hair Product Residue: Hard water makes it harder to rinse out shampoo and conditioner, leading to buildup, which can contribute to an unhealthy scalp. 🔅Irritation: Hard water may worsen sensitivity or irritation for those already prone to dandruff, especially if they have seborrheic dermatitis (a common cause of dandruff). To minimize the effects of hard water: • Use a clarifying shampoo to remove mineral buildup. • Install a water softener or use a shower filter. • Rinse your hair with distilled or filtered water after ...
