The one I am making today is very easy. For this recipe you will need organic coconut oil, grade A olive oil, shea butter and essential oils. You will also need chamomile, lavender, rosemary and tea tree essential oils which you can find at your local Health Food Store and a container with a lid in which to store your hair balm.<\/p>\n<p>Mix together 3 tablespoons of coconut oil with a 1\/4 teaspoon of grade A olive oil and shea butter and blend well, and then add 2 &#8211; 4 drops of each essential oil according to your taste and mix thoroughly. The end product should look like whipped cream.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-324\" title=\"Herbal Hair Balm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/hairbalm1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"407\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/hairbalm1.jpg 407w, https:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/hairbalm1-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Making A Herbal Hair Balm.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-329\" title=\"Hair Balm close up\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/hairbalmclup.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/hairbalmclup.jpg 299w, https:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/hairbalmclup-62x62.jpg 62w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your finished product should be thick but not solid.
