** Guar gum is a natural thickener often used in baking and cosmetics, often available in the baking section of the grocery store- Bob’s Red Mill is a popular brand.

***Essential Oils for Your Hair-Type: Rosemary and sage essential oils are suitable for all hair types, so consider one of these as a base. Then add either: Lemon, bergamot, or tea tree essential oils for oily hair, OR Lavender, sandalwood, or geranium essential oils for dry hair or those who suffer from dandruff.
