How to Use Rosemary for Growing Hair Fast?

Given below are some hair care recipes for making hair grow faster with rosemary. Both fresh as well as dried rosemary can be used.

• Scalp massage with rosemary oil is highly beneficial in promoting hair growth by increasing circulation. After massaging, apply the oil on hair, comb your tresses, and leave it for about 30-45 minutes. Finally, shampoo your hair.

  Combing your hair after oiling assists in distributing the oil throughout your hair and removing tangles that cause unnecessary hair breakage during shampooing, when the hair strands are wet.

• Take a handful of rosemary sprigs and boil them in a pot of distilled water. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Next, cool and strain the solution. Use this rosemary water as a refreshing hair rinse to improve hair growth.

  

  There is no need to wash off the fragrant solution; just squeeze out the excess rosemary water from your hair. Follow this procedure about two to three times in a week after using your shampoo and conditioner. You can get this herb at a local grocery store.

• As rosemary is beneficial for growing hair naturally, you can prepare a rosemary infusion and add it in your shampoo. To prepare the infusion, put half a cup of rosemary and a cup of water in a glass jar and let the solution steep in a sun-filled window for 2-3 weeks.

  Another simple remedy is to mix 5-10 drops of rosemary essential oil in your shampoo. Besides, you can purchase a shampoo containing rosemary leaves and oil.

  Next, cool and strain the mixture. Mix a cup of organic apple cider vinegar and a few drops of rosemary oil in the infusion. You can add essential oil of peppermint, too. Store it in a bottle.

  Use about four teaspoons of this solution mixed in lukewarm water for rinsing your hair after shampooing.

  Finally, wash your hair with water after 3-5 minutes. There is no need to condition your lustrous locks after the rosemary vinegar rinse. Avoid using this recipe in case you have processed or color-treated hair.

• Add two teaspoons of dried rosemary in half a cup of olive oil and heat the solution in the microwave for two minutes. Keep the mixture aside for two to three days. Finally, strain it and massage the scalp with this therapeutic oil regularly.
