Tips for the Recipe
You can use steel cut oats or rolled oats, whatever you find. If you’re worried about they staying behind in your strands especially if you have thick or curly or wavy hair, use oatmeal but don’t grind it too fine.
You can also use Honey if you have lighter hair, but I have used Rose Water here. You can use powdered Rose Petals instead.
Lavender Essential Oil is option and can be skipped if you prefer. However, Lavender Essential Oil is a soothing and calming ingredient and suitable even for sensitive skin or scalp.
If your scalp is dry consider using Rice Water instead of Water for mixing this scrub.
Glycerin is a good addition to this scrub especially when skipping or leaving out Honey.
The right consistency is easy for spreading – so add your liquids accordingly.

Oats – Calming and soothing, this is an ideal ingredient for treating scalp itching and infections.
