Can I use this geranium oil on my scalp, and how should I do it safely?

Geranium essential oil is a popular choice for scalp care, particularly for adding a feeling of freshness and for scalps that are prone to visible flakes. To use it, you must first dilute it thoroughly. Mix 2-3 drops of geranium oil into a tablespoon of a lightweight carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil, argan oil, or jojoba oil. Before washing your hair, apply this blend directly to your scalp, parting your hair to reach the skin. Gently massage it in with your fingertips for a few minutes, then leave it on for 15-30 minutes before shampooing as usual. This allows the active components to interact with the scalp. For a simpler method, you can add one drop of geranium oil to your regular amount of shampoo or conditioner, mixing it in your palm before application. As with any new product on the scalp, it's advisable to do a patch test first on a small area of skin to check for sensitivity, and avoid contact with your eyes.
