Why Your Hair Starts to Shed After You Start Using Rosemary Oil

Why Your Hair Starts to Shed After You Start Using Rosemary Oil

There’s no denying that Rosemary is a natural solution for hair growth. It’s efficacy is known the world over! It’s still viral for hair growth & hair fall control; all of that stardom is owed to its natural magical potency & efficacy. It’s only because of positive results that its popularity is continuing to balloon up. 

But the thing is, once you start to use Rosemary Oil you will experience initial shedding. There’s no need to worry; it’s actually a good sign.

Let us explain why! (Science it up!)

The hair growth cycle consists of three main phases:

  • Anagen: This is the growth phase, where new hair follicles are produced and hair grows.
  • Catagen: This is the transitional phase, where hair growth slows down and the hair follicle shrinks.
  • Telogen: This is the resting phase, where the old hair follicles shed and young hair begins to grow. That’s where you want to be. 

  • How Rosemary Works for Your Hair Growth?

    Rosemary oil contains nutrients (phytochemicals) such as Rosmarinic Acid, Caffeic Acid, Betulinic Acid, and Ursolic Acid. 

    These work together to stimulate circulation in the scalp, which results in activation of new hair follicles in the anagen phase. That means in promotion of healthy regrowth. 

    But before this outcome shows up in your hair, old/loose follicles will shed to make way for new, growing hair. That’s basically a hair renewal process. 

    With consistent use, the new hair grows stronger and healthier, the shedding will subside, and you'll notice thicker, fuller hair. It's actually a sign that the product is working to stimulate new hair growth.

    As per studies by PubMed Central, for healthy hair growth, Rosemary is a natural alternative to Minoxidil which is known to have side effects like headaches, irregular heartbeat and scalp irritation. By healthy hair growth, we mean improvement in hair density and thickness, hair fall & scalp health. 

    How to Get the Best Out of Rosemary?

    These results are only possible with the right usage/dilution of Rosemary (in appropriate ratio). Let us break it down for you:

    • Step 1: Take 4-5 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil with 1-2 tbsp (based on hair length) of carrier oils like jojoba, bhringraj, olive, castor, etc.
    • Step 2: Massage well on scalp & hair for a few minutes.
    • Step 3: Leave for min. 4 hours or overnight
    • Step 4: Wash it off with SLS/SLES Free Shampoo + Conditioner 

    If you’re facing severe hair fall & patchy baldness issues, pour 4-5 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil in a bowl & apply on scalp using cotton. This direct application ensures prevention of loss of required nutrients. 

    Another way to use Rosemary is to add 2-3 drops to your daily shampoo and conditioner for an extra boost. Along with that, you can also make Rosemary Water using Rosemary Essential Oil (this is for when you don’t feel like putting oil on your hair) & a few spiritzes on hair to tame frizz, dryness & dullness.

    Always remember, consistency is key. Continue using rosemary oil as directed, and you should start seeing positive results within a few months.

    Conclusion
