Actually the aromatherapist uses the same almond oil that we normally use, but they can also use a number of other oils besides almond oil, which are often used as carrier oil. In my own practice, I don't use carrier oils as often since it dilutes the effectiveness of healing found in the lavender oil and other oils. Oils are not generally used in hair but used in the body instead. The reason maybe because its generally messy to apply to the head with oils and generally difficult to remove them afterwards.
