One of the biggest problems most people face is the thinning down of their hair as they get older. The hair succumbs to damage, breakage, and hair loss and our hair begin to thin out. Also, there are external factors too that can contribute to hair thinning like the water we use on our hair, the products, sun damage, hair treatments, and many more.

ONE ESSENTIAL OIL TO STOP HAIR FALL AND REGROW THINNING HAIR

Well, while hair thinning is inevitable, there are ways we can use to regrow thinning hair and improve hair growth.

The best way to regrow thinning hair is by choosing a natural remedy and what’s better than this one super helpful essential oil – rosemary essential oil!

Here are the benefits of using rosemary essential oil on your hair:

  • The properties of anti-inflammation in rosemary essential oil can help prevent and treat scalp conditions and reduce hair fall.

  • It helps promote hair growth by healing the damaged hair follicles as it has carnosic acid, which is an active ingredient present in plants that is known to help heal damaged nerves and tissues. This property of rosemary essential oil can heal nerve endings and could possibly stimulate the rejuvenation of hair follicles, in turn restoring hair growth.

  • Rosemary essential oil can help promote better blood circulation in the scalp to regrow thinning hair as certain times the hair follicles remain dormant and proper stimulation can help it begin to grow hair again. Proper blood circulation is of utmost importance because when the blood flows to the scalp it can stimulate hair follicle growth from within and stimulate better hair growth right from the root, so the hair grows out stronger and healthier.
