HOW TO USE ROSEMARY OIL FOR HAIR GROWTH

Let’s talk about hair growth, how Rosemary Oil can help and our guidelines and best practices.

WHAT IS ROSEMARY OIL?

It is a pale liquid oil from the Rosemary plant which has a herbaceous aroma.   It has been used in perfumes, skincare and haircare as an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial ingredient.

CAN ROSEMARY IMPROVE HAIR GROWTH?

Rosemary oil contains an ingredient called carnosic acid.  This is know to have the ability to heal nerve damage, tissue damage and increase cell turnover.  With that in mind in encourages nerve growth and improves blood circulation.  Blood circulation is key when we are talking about hair growth.   Without proper blood supply, the follicles do not get the nutrients that they need to grow the hair and they can then die off.

One clinical study was done to compare the efficiency of Rosemary Oil to MInoxidil (also known as Rogaine) an over the counter “drug” that is used for hair loss.  The results of the study found that the results of both products were same after 6 months.  

If you desire fuller, thicker, longer and stronger strands Rosemary Oil is considered one of the most effective types of natural hair growth oils on the market today.

ROSEMARY OIL BENEFITS

In addition to Rosemary Oils ability to help stimulate hair growth there are other benefits this oil can offer.

Reduces Scalp Irritation:  From the same study conducted above it was discovered that Rosemary Oil was also able to reduce scalp irritation.    Rosemary contains anti-inflammatory properties and is especially beneficial to those with distressed scalps.

Prevent Hair Loss:  Hair loss can occur when free radicals destroy the cells and damage the hair follicle.  Rosemary Oil is considered a potent antioxidant that fights against free radicals thus protecting the hair and preventing damaged follicles.

Prevents Dandruff:  And yet another benefit of Rosemary Oil is its ability to eliminate bacteria on the scalp that clogs hair follicles.  This can lead to a reduction of flakes on the scalp.

Grey Hair:   Research has shown that when cells are damaged as a result of environmental aggressors, they can oxidise, accelerating the ageing process.  In regards to hair this would be the formation of grey hairs.  Creating an environment on the scalp that is healthy and actively fights against those free radicals, can help slow down the greying process. 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR ROSEMARY OIL TO WORK?

Based on the study conducted above, it takes approximately 6 months to see complete results.

This does not however mean that results will not be seen faster than this.  It depends upon the condition of the persons hair at the start point.  

WHAT IS MINOXIDIL?

Minoxidil is a medication commonly used for the treatment of patterned hair loss.  It is available as either a medicine by prescription as an oral tablet or an over the counter topical liquid or foam.

Being a drug manufactured in a lab it has its side effects and potentially harmful long term effects.

Here at Miod be believe nature alone has the answers and there is no need to compromise your health for the results you are looking for.

WHO CAN USE ROSEMARY OIL?

Rosemary Essential Oil can be used on any hair type.  It is even safe to use on color-treated hair.   If you have an extremely sensitive scalp do a small patch test first and wait for 24 hours to see if any irritation occurs.  

HOW LONG TO LEAVE ROSEMARY OIL IN HAIR?

My suggestion is to use this oil with other hair loving oils to reap all benefits that they have to offer and leave it in overnight, then wash out the next morning.  You can do this one to two times a week.  Combining this with other oils gives other hair benefits such as increased elasticity, hair strength, bounce, softness and shine.  

You can also use this as a pre shampoo.   Massage into the hair and leave for 20 minutes, then wash it out. When used this way do this 2xs a week.  

Our Goddess Hair Oil combines a powerful blend of Rosemary Oil, Peppermint Oil, Jojoba Oil, Praxci and other natural cold pressed oils, that effectively stimulate new hair growth, nourish, increase bounce elasticity, shine and softness.  There are no nasties in this oil, just pure nature.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU PUT ROSEMARY OIL ON YOUR SCALP FOR HAIR GROWTH?

1-2 times per week as above.
