Hi Tara. I've always been hesitant to terp my mixes because I get the
impression (from what I've read over at the HP) that you use quite a
bit of EO to terp. Aside from the fact that you'd better like the
smell, (which would be extemely strong using 20-25 gtts or more) I'd
be concerned about the concentration of the EO's on your scalp,
especially given the fact that its going to be in contact with your
skin for a significant length of time --I'd imagine quite a bit of
absorption going on there.

To tell you the truth I'd only be happy to use the most benign of the
oils in that concentration -- probably only lavender; unless you want
to add a few drops for the smell alone, and then something thats very
safe for skin like chamomile, sandalwood, etc, no citrus oils.
