Here are some tips to reducing hair loss using Aromatherapy Oils:

To encourage hair growth by activating the hair follicles try a blend of aromatherapy essential oils consisting of lavender and bay.  Add 3 drops of each essential oil into a base oil of sweet almond oil and then using your finger tips massage into the scalp and hairline.  Leave on for 30 minutes and the rinse out with tepid water.

Hair loss is something that affects both men and women and can be very distressing when it occurs.  Reasons for hair loss vary but it can be caused by poor circulation, hormones, stress and excessive use of chemical hair treatments to name but a few. 

Aromatherapy can be used to stimulate the circulation in the scalp which can slow hair loss and encourage hair growth.  Mix lavender essential oil with bay leaves in an almond or sesame oil base.  Massage the tonic into the scalp and leave for 30 minutes before shampooing.  Jojoba oil is believed to balance the production of sebum and can prevent the build up of bacteria which can lead to hair loss.  Try adding rosemary oil to unscented baby shampoo as another alternative.
