In general, for daily use products or oil blends containing Essential Oil, it's advised to add 0.5 to 1% of Essential Oil in total (So if adding more than 1 Essential Oi,l you need to split the quantity to make it max 1% in total)
Foran oil blend specifically destined for stronger scalp treatment that would be used less frequently, you can consider using 1 to 3% of Essential Oil in the blend.
Quick drop calculator: For 15ml of carrier oil
0.5% → 2 drops
1 % → 4–5 drops
2 % → 9–10 drops
3 % → 13–15 drops
