 The problem with many hair care items, even some of the natural ones, is that they strip hair of its natural oils. Many shampoos contain chemical ingredients that coat the hair to give it that smooth, silky feel. To replace the oils, it's just stripped. While rosemary water has become a bit of a trend on TikTok recently, there is scientific backing to support this herb in its ability to improve both hair and scalp health. It's not just a TikTok gimmick. Rosemary can boost hair growth by inhibiting hormonal changes that lead to hair loss, improving circulation to the follicles, acting as an antioxidant, and decreasing inflammation on the scalp. This rosemary hair rinse easily fits into your normal hair care routine and is best applied after a shower. It's important that the rinse be applied daily to reap the most benefits. Rosemary water, unfortunately, isn't a one-off treatment. It is something that needs to be applied on a regular basis over an extensive period of time for it to have any noticeable effect. This rinse can be applied to the scalp overnight and washed out in the morning. It's as simple as that. Applying a rosemary-infused oil can be another effective treatment for dandruff or hair loss. To use all you do is simply rub the oil on your hair, let it work its magic for 20 minutes to one hour, and then wash it out. This home remedy really improves scalp health. To make rosemary water with rosemary essential oil instead of fresh rosemary, simply mix 10-15 drops of the oil with 2-3 cups of boiled water that has been allowed to cool. Apply it directly onto your hair and scalp and you leave it in for one hour or overnight. To make this rosemary water for hair growth, boil 4 cups of water and let it cool down for about 20 minutes or so. Place 5 rosemary sprigs in a large mason jar or saucepan and pour the water over the top to completely submerge the sprigs. Allow the rosemary to steep for at least 5-12 hours or overnight. Strain the rosemary water into a glass spray bottle. Glass or metal is preferred rather than plastic or a large mason jar. The rosemary sprigs can be composted. After cleaning hair as normal, spray liberal amounts of the rinse all over your hair, then massage your scalp in a circular motion which helps to improve blood circulation even more, massaging all the way down your hair. Ideally the rosemary rinse can be left in overnight or it can be washed out with water after one hour. This rinse can be applied daily or 2-3 times a week as a leave-in treatment. Store the rosemary water in the fridge to prolong its shelf life. The mixture should last 1-2 weeks if stored properly. I prefer this method as it's a gentler approach to extracting the beneficial properties from the rosemary plant. Using high temperatures can destroy some of the beneficial components found in the herb, so using lower temperatures can prove more beneficial. I hope you enjoyed this video tutorial.
