Aromatherapy is more than just a sensory experience: it is a science that harnesses the therapeutic properties of essential oils to rebalance body and mind. In the world of professional cosmetics, these natural extracts represent a unique opportunity to improve the quality of treatments, offer an exclusive client experience, and enhance in-salon results.

What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is a holistic discipline which uses essential oils to enhance mental and physical well-being. These powerful extracts are derived from the flowers, leaves, barks, and roots of plants, and have been used for centuries in traditional healing practices.

In haircare, aromatherapy can turn a salon treatment into a true beauty and wellness ritual. Essential oils not only improve scalp and hair health, but also have an impact on the nervous system, promoting relaxation or stimulation as needed.

The Benefits of Aromatherapy in the Salon

✔ Improving blood circulation, promoting the absorption of essential oil and its benefits

✔ Strengthening of the immune system, with better control of some blemishes

✔ Relaxing and anti-stress effects for comprehensive treatment

Essential Oils in Cosmetics: what they are and how they act

How to Integrate Essential Oils into Salon Services

The use of essential oils in professional treatments not only improves the quality of service, but also transforms the salon experience into a true wellness ritual. The blends of Organethic Pure Care can be integrated in different ways, enhancing the effectiveness of treatments and creating a relaxing and personalized atmosphere for each client.

1. Environmental Diffusion

The use of an essential oil diffuser in the salon helps to create a welcoming environment and set the client up for relaxation.

Add 3-5 drops Of the blend best suited to the client's needs, directly on the key points of the scalp (forehead, vertex, temporal areas)
Massage the scalp in circular motions to 5-10 minutes
Proceed with the next treatment (shampoo, mask, lotion)

3. Customized Shampoos and Treatments

Blends can be used to enhance customized treatments:

Add 2-3 drops Of essential oil to the shampoo or mask for targeted action
Choose the most suitable blend according to the client's skin type

Sensory moment: During the phase of laying the products at the headwash, you can apply a couple of drops of blend on the wrists and make gentle movements in front of the client's face, allowing the client to inhale the aroma. This technique helps to relax, enhance the olfactory experience and reinforce the effect of the essential oil.

4. Aromatherapy Baths for the Scalp

An aromatherapy steam bath with essential oils is an exclusive treatment that helps to purify the scalp, improving the absorption of the actives and amplifying the benefits of the treatment.
