Use

If you like you can make your own hair care blend, combining Geranium
with Rosemary, Jasmine, Patchouli and Lavender according to your liking.
Add to unscented shampoo or conditioner (5-10 drops per 1oz. of product),
or apply 1 drop to your hairbrush to rejuvenate and naturally scent

floating on the surface - you may want to blend the Essential Oil with
some Half and Half, honey, vinegar or Aromaland's Coconut Emulsifier
before adding it to the water.
