How to use rosemary oil in your hair routine
Rosemary has become one of the most talked-about ingredients in hair care. Here is how to add it to your routine simply and safely.
Two different products.
- Rosemary essential oil is very concentrated and must never go on the scalp undiluted.
- Rosemary hair oil is ready to use: rosemary leaves slowly infused in cold-pressed coconut and sesame oil, with a little essential oil already mixed in.
Using rosemary essential oil.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of coconut, sesame or castor-and-coconut oil into a small bowl.
- Add 3 to 5 drops of rosemary essential oil and stir.
- Part your hair and massage the oil into the scalp with your fingertips for 5 minutes.
- Leave it for at least an hour, or overnight with an old towel on your pillow.
- Wash with a mild shampoo. Two washes may be needed.
Do this 2 to 3 times a week and give it a few months. Hair routines work slowly.
Using rosemary hair oil. Warm a little in your palms and massage it into the scalp. No mixing needed.
Who should avoid rosemary essential oil. People who are pregnant, and people with epilepsy or high blood pressure. Always do a patch test on your inner arm first.
