NOt sure about their use to darken henna (CCJ might know) but I have
used tea tree, rosemary, cedarwood, frankincense, and lavender,
diluted, on my hair for a long time to deal with itchy scalp. I mix
the oils in hemp or flax seed and put the whole concoction on my head,
rub it in well, let it sit for several hours, then wash well. Voila'
- conditioned hair, refreshed and soothed scalp! As with all
essential oils you should be careful and dilute them and DON'T take
them internally...
