Favorite rosemRy oil

My hair was thinning noticeably. I've always had enough hair for 3 people and when I hit my 70s, my hair started thinning to the point where I'd feel a mild sense of panic whenever I washed it. To my shock and dismay, it felt thin, really thin, it looked thin, really thin, and I could see my scalp. I know, in terms of life's difficulties and problems, this ranks really, really low. I get that completely. However, when your hair has always been your strongest feature, it is not fun to start seeing your scalp. I've never seen my scalp. I've waited a year to write this review because I wanted to give the rosemary oil plenty of time to do its thing. It's important to mention that I haven't been cured of a disease in the last year, I haven't changed my diet, my medications, my lifestyle, my shampoo, or anything else that could possibly be of significance in this review. All I did was to start using Rosemary oil about three times a week, directly massaged into my scalp. After a year, I can say without a doubt, I have more hair. It could be that I've grown more "new" hair, or it could be that I'm just not losing hair to the same degree it used to be dropping out of my head in the shower, on the floor, or on the brush, etc. Whatever the reason, after a year, there is no question that I have more hair. I do not feel panicky, as I no longer see my scalp when I'm parting my hair to drip the oil onto my scalp. I should probably mention I have silver hair and the hair I have looks very healthy and shiny. I'll leave it to the scientists and researchers to analyze why or how - I just know I have more hair now than I did a year ago...and that's a really good feeling. I don't know why other people buy rosemary oil but if you're looking into it for the purpose of increased hair growth, I would enthusiastically recommend this product. I now have more hair than I did a year ago. Period. And that's a fact. Yay! BTW, I should probably mention that I'm not crazy about the fragrance, it's definitely strong but it doesn't last. I only use it when I'm going to be home at least an hour before I go out in public. It's not that it's a bad smell, it's just a strong smell. I made the mistake of going to a restaurant with friends immediately after using it the first time. Don't do that. One of the people with me said, as she looked under the table and over her shoulder, "I think they've put us right next to a bucket of Pine Sol." Yikes. That was me. I confessed and we all laughed. But there's no noticeable fragrance after about an hour. Also, yes, it does make your scalp tingle for a few minutes but that's not a problem to me. It's just a light tingle. Bottom line, I now have more hair so I'm willing to put up with a strong scent a tingling scalp for a few minutes. Thank you, Radha Beauty. I love this product.

This review is for the Rosemary oil and specifically its effect on your hair. Initial Review: I have only used this a few times. The first time I diluted it in Emu oil and rubbed it through my hair after using a dermaroller on my scalp (I waited approx. 30-45 minutes before application after using the dermaroller). My scalp definitely seemed stimulated, but it was pleasant and didn't burn. I left the mixed solution on for 2 1/2 hours and then washed it out. Afterwards, my hair felt immediately and noticeably different. It felt way healthier! No longer as dry or fragile. It laid on my head much more nicely, and it felt wonderful! So far so good! Since this time I have used the Rosemary oil by itself and on my scalp. I use approximately 1 mL. While this may vary for others, especially those with more sensitive skin, I personally found that I didn't necessarily need the carrier oil. Same tingling sensation without a burn. Importantly, this didn't make my hair/scalp oily like it did when I mixed it with the Emu oil. Just rub it in good and your hair should look fine so long as it wasn't already dirty. Also make sure to do a patch test on your arm to see how you will react to the oil before using it on your scalp. I bought this after reviewing studies that linked Rosemary oil and Peppermint oil with increased hair growth. While I don't currently suffer from MPB, I have noticed my hair becoming slowly thinner and finer. So I decided to combat this before it is too late. However, I didn't want to use any harsh products like Minoxidil or pills, because it isn't that bad yet. My main goals are: 1) slow rate of hair falling out, 2) Minor-moderate hair regrowth, and 3) thicken the individual strands of hair. This is my review for the product, but more importantly a placeholder for six months from now after I have run an experimental trial with the product. I will update this at 3 and 6 months from now, documenting my progress. I plan to not only use Rosemary oil, however, but it will be mainly used. Details of Experiment: 1) I will use a mixture of Rosemary and Peppermint oil on my scalp, twice a day. The ratio will be 4:1 Rosemary, but I may add 1 part jojoba oil if it is too strong for my scalp. In a study on humans, Rosemary oil showed to be slightly more effective than a 2% Minoxidil solution. Peppermint oil was shown to be moderately more effective than a 3% Minoxidil solution on rats. This is why I have chosen these two particular oils. 2) Once a week I will mix this mixture with Emu oil and let it sit/deep condition my hair once a week. 3) I will use a dermaroller once per week. After which, step 2 will take place. No other products will be used than what has been listed above. Again, I will update at 3 and 6 months, with a picture comparison between now and at 6 months.

I ordered this product to help with hair growth. The smell is rather potent. It is very dry not greasy. Clear in color. I have been adding it to my conditioner to help my hair grow faster. I can't say that I have noticed much difference. My husband also uses it and it seems to have thickened his hair some. Overall it seems to be a good essential oil and smells good mixed with others in my diffuser.
