Notes
This carrot oil is specifically for hair growth so you can use it primarily as a scalp massage oil but feel free to seal with it or use it as a leave-in oil conditioner.
You can also add a 1 – 2 teaspoons to your styling cream or butter. Do not use on skin. This is not a recipe for the skin. I will upload another recipe later on for the skin.
How Do You Store Carrot Oil
Store your carrot oil away from direct sunlight. This carrot oil should last for a few months and as long as a year but if it smells iffy before then, discard and make a fresh batch.
