Making your own peppermint essential oil is probably more involved then you want. It would require A LOT of peppermint.
Peppermint essential oil is available from many sources. Do you have a health food store or Vitamin Shoppe near you? Just be careful with essential oils as they are very concentrated and may irritate your skin if you don’t dilute them.
You don’t need to make peppermint oil to use peppermint in your hair. You can take about 1/2 cup of the fresh peppermint leaves and pour 2 cups of boiling water in with them in a bowl. After 10 minutes, remove the leaves, cool to a comfortable temperature and you can pour the peppermint tea on your hair as a final rinse.
You can make this easier on yourself if you have access to peppermint tea bags ((Celestial Seasonings is one brand.) I would do 2 bags to 2 cups boiling water.
Peppermint tea is also good to drink and calms an upset stomach.
