is Rosemary Oil worth the hype?

is Rosemary Oil worth the hype?

If you have scrolled TikTok at any point recently, you have likely seen everyone chatting about rosemary oil for hair growth. What they are typically referring to is either boiling rosemary and water and putting it into a spray bottle to apply to your roots, or putting the oil itself directly onto your roots. Now this seems to be a real buzz trend right now, but let me break down the real facts of it for you. 

 

Rosemary oil is commonly used topically and is known for its potential to enhance blood circulation in the scalp, fostering a healthy environment for hair growth. It can address issues like dandruff and inflammation directly. 

 

Now Rosemary oil isn’t exactly the most effective option for hair growth for a few reasons; 1. limited scientific evidence supporting its efficacy, 2. limited penetration of essential oils like rosemary into the scalp and hair follicles, and 3. variations in product concentration and quality, contribute to its uncertain effectiveness.

 

When it comes to hair loss, slow growth, weak hair, and premature greying, a combination of vitamins, herbs and botanicals offers a more systemic approach, providing essential nutrients that contribute to overall hair health from within. By following an inside out approach, you can target your hair concerns at their root cause, rather than applying topicals to address the symptoms.

 

If you are looking to take a holistic approach to your hair goals, here are my top vitamin recommendations.

 

Hibiscus Flower Extract

Hibiscus Flower Extract encourages hair growth to help reduce hair loss and patchiness. Since it also stimulates melanin production, Hibiscus Flower Extract can help prevent premature greying.

 

Guava Leaf Extract

Guava Leaf Extract supports healthy hair by stimulating collagen activity. This helps improve the strength and flexibility of hair, boosts its volume, and adds thickness. It also makes hair lustrous and shiny.

 

Bamboo Extract

Bamboo Extract, which contains high levels of silica, boosts hair growth, strength, and thickness. It provides shine to lacklustre hair and improves elasticity to help reduce breakage. Additionally, it helps prevent fallout to maintain healthy and full hair.

Riboflavin

Riboflavin plays an important role in the processes of hair repair, supporting strong and healthy hair growth. Additionally, it helps prevent hair breakage, shedding, and fallout, contributing to the maintenance of thick, full, and glossy hair.

 

Vitamin E

Vitamin E provides essential nourishment to the scalp, boosting hair strength and shine. It rejuvenates dry, brittle hair and can help reduce hair loss, promoting hair that is thick and full.
