–You can add dried lavender to your shampoo for a gentle scent—it’s usually safe and mild. The fragrance won’t be very strong, and it’s less likely to irritate your scalp than lavender essential oil. Essential oil gives a stronger scent and may help the scalp, but it can cause irritation if you’ve never used it before. I’d recommend starting with dried lavender, and see how your scalp reacts.
Dried lavender in shampoo Safer, Mild smell, Smell is weak Can spoil if water enters Lavender essential oilStrong smell, Only few drops needed, Can irritate scalp if too much Safer option Dried lavender Stronger fragrance Essential oil
