How Does Rosemary Oil Help Your Hair Grow?

I get asked this question a lot.

The simple answer is that Rosemary increases the circulation to your scalp.

It does this because Rosemary is a vasodilator, which means it widens the blood vessels so more blood flow can be directed to the area where the Rosemary Oil has been applied topically. ( For Hair Growth, Rosemary Oil is applied to the Scalp)

Increased blood circulation to the scalp nourishes your hair follicles with surplus nutrients and oxygen. This assists your hair follicles to to produce healthier, thicker, shinier hair. ( Think of it like fertilising your garden, surplus nutrients equals surplus growth!)

Not only does Rosemary assist with Hair Growth, it also has anti inflammatory, anti bacterial and anti microbial benefits which soothe and heal the scalp. It’s medicinal properties can treat ailments such as dandruff, flaky scalp or minor scalp irritations / infections.

Rosemary essential oil is highly concentrated ( as are most essential oils) and should always be diluted in a carrier oil such as Organic Castor Oil, Sweet Almond or Coconut oil before applying, as it will cause irritation if applied directly to the scalp or skin.

Carrier Oils Such as Organic castor Oil will assist to transport the essential oil of Rosemary deep into the skin. Castor oil is high in fatty acids with strong anti inflammatory and moisturising properties. It is highly beneficial for Scalp and Hair Health.

Wild Lioness, Rosemary Hair Oil, has been formulated with nutrient rich botanical and essential oils, all targeted toward optimum Scalp and Hair Health.

We recommend applying our Rosemary Hair Oil to your Scalp at least once a week for general scalp and hair health. However for those experiencing hair loss or hair thinning, apply up to three times per week and leave on for a minimum of one hour per application. 

Allow 4-8 weeks of regular use to start seeing results. Hair Growth takes time and it’s important to be consistent and to minimise heat or bleaching treatments.

Everyone loves to have healthy hair, it’s a reflection of your inner and outer health.

Be sure to combine our Rosemary Hair Oil with healthy lifestyle choices. The healthier you are on the inside, the healthier you will look on the outside.

By providing your body with adequate rest, water, and fresh, natural foods, you will be giving yourself and your hair the best chance of health & vitality.

Much love,
