Rosemary Hydrosol Benefits for Hair:
i) Stimulates Hair Growth
It is rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and anti-androgenic properties, making it suitable for different hair care concerns especially, in stimulating hair growth. It is scientifically proven that Rosemary is as effective as minoxidil in promoting hair growth in individuals with androgenetic alopecia (a common form of hair loss).
ii) Prevents Premature Greying
Premature greying has been linked with oxidative stress, which is a key process in damaging the hair follicles and natural color. Rosemary helps in neutralizing the free radicals, which naturally slows down and also prevents premature greying.
iii) Strengthens Hair Follicles
Rosemary is rich in antioxidant properties that help in stimulating the blood circulation in the overall scalp area and increase the nutrient supply for the hair follicles, which acts as a key in strengthening the hair follicles.
iv) Prevent Hair Thinning
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone associated with hair loss, particularly in cases of androgenetic alopecia. Some studies suggest that Rosemary may help inhibit the production of DHT, potentially slowing down the hair-thinning process.
v) Balances Scalp Oil Production
Rosemary Hydrosol is thought to have the ability to regulate sebum production because of its astringent properties. Sebum is a natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands in the scalp. By helping to regulate sebum, rosemary may prevent excessive oiliness without causing the scalp to become overly dry.
