Interesting Facts About Jasmine Oil

In Pakistan, jasmine is their national flower while in India, the jasmine flower is regarded as a holy flower by the Hindus.

Benefits of Jasmine Oil for Hair

1. Antiseptic

Jasmine oil contains benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, and benzyl benzoate, agents with antiseptic properties that can help address scalp problems like eczema, dryness, dandruff, and itchiness. 

2. Acts as An Emollient

Jasmine oil acts as an emollient. When applied on hair, it provides a protective coating, which locks in moisture, makes the hair shiny and tames frizz. Great option for use in the LCO/LOC method.

When I wear my hair in a high bun as a protective style, I smooth jasmine oil quickly through my hair before pulling it up into a bun. The shine is gorgeous and of course, my hair smells like an awesome pacific island day. 

3. Relaxes the Senses

Adding jasmine oil to your deep conditioner followed by a session under the hair steamer can provide a very relaxing effect on the senses and help reduce stress levels. You can also get this effect by using a diffuser to spread the aroma around your home.

Jasmine Oil for Hair Growth

Jasmine oil isn’t a suitable oil to address hair growth. It functions well as a sealing oil for taming frizz as well as relieving annoying scalp issues but its strength isn’t helping with hair growth. For natural oils specifically targeted to hair growth, have a look at the hair loss archives.

A word of Caution About Jasmine Oil

Though it has potent anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, jasmine oil should be used in moderation as applying too much can lead to oily hair and scalp irritation. The smell can also be a tad overpowering as I learned the first time I tried it. A few drops are all you need to get results.
