DIY Deep Conditioning Hair Mask with Castor Oil, Jojoba & Essential Oils

Why a DIY Hair Mask?

Stress, pollution, and daily styling can leave our hair dry, dull, and lifeless.

A deep conditioning hair mask is a natural way to restore moisture, stimulate growth, and nourish the scalp without toxic chemicals.

This simple DIY recipe blends castor oil, jojoba oil, and B Calm’s Live Calm blend to bring back shine, strength, and vitality to your hair — naturally.

• Stimulating hair growth
• Moisturising dry scalps
• Reducing dandruff & flakiness
• Strengthening roots & preventing split ends
• Adding shine and luster

Lavender Mist – Calm, Soothe & Refresh the Scalp

Benefits include:

• Calms irritation or inflammation after hair treatments

• Adds light hydration and softness without heaviness

• Refreshes the scalp and hair between washes

• Promotes a sense of calm and relaxation through its delicate aroma

💜 Used by ancient Greeks and Romans in their bathing rituals, lavender has long symbolised cleanliness, calm, and healing.
