Instructions
Epsom salt for oily hair
- Combine ½ teaspoon of Epsom salt with your hair shampoo. A good ballpark figure is to use 1 tablespoon of shampoo per ½ teaspoon of Epsom salt.
- Then, work the Epsom salt shampoo into your scalp and hair, massaging as you go and leave it to soak in for a couple of minutes before washing out. Condition the hair afterward as normal.
Epsom salt for dry hair
- Shampoo hair like normal.
- Then, combine ½ teaspoon of Epsom salt with one tablespoon of your usual hair conditioner.
- Once you’ve rinsed your hair from the shampoo, simply apply the Epsom salt conditioner to the ends of your hair and leave it on for up to five minutes. Rinse off completely.
Notes
Epsom salt is not considered toxic. However, you should check with your healthcare provider before using epsom salts.
If you have recently undergone a hair coloring treatment, perm or similar, consider passing on the epsom salt for now.
Limit use to once a month unless you are dealing with excessively oily hair, in which twice monthly should be fine.
Always check to see how your hair and skin react and adjust accordingly.
