You will need 2-3 drops of eucalyptus oil and 2-3 drops of coconut oil to begin. You should take note that like all essential oils, it is recommended to dilute the eucalyptus oil with a carrier oil before applying it directly on your scalp.
In our case, it is being diluted with coconut oil. You should mix the eucalyptus and coconut oil and apply this mixture on your scalp using gentle circular motions. Once applied, leave it for 30-45 minutes for it to work on the scalp. Now wash thoroughly using plain water. This process should be repeated at least 2-3 times in a week in order for it to work effectively.
