The delicious spicy scent of rosemary hangs in the air here, as there are hedges of rosemary everywhere 🌿 It made me think of this amazing plant that is an ingredient in several great Vossabia products , including our hair serums . There has been a huge trend on Tiktok last year with rosemary oil in your hair, and you just have to jump on that trend yourself, because rosemary is truly amazing 🤩! More about why I recommend everyone to have hair (and skin) products with rosemary below!
🙋🏼♀️ But, first I would like to mention that Vossabia is nominated for the Her Awards, in the category Local Business of the Year 🥳 and if you think we deserve a vote, the deadline is 12.10 at 23:59. Click on the link to check the category and vote, and thank you very much if you vote for us 🙌🏼
At Vossabiagarden, the aromatic shrub rosemary has been important, in and "trendy" for a long time😆
It has been a staple ingredient in Panterbalsam for 19 years, and for a long time I had plans for a hair product with rosemary. And I finally realized that plan last fall, just in time for "everyone" to discover how amazing rosemary is for hair and scalp. And we love our 🧡 Rosemary hair serum and Lemongrass hair serum (which actually also contains rosemary and other amazing oils perfect for hair and scalp)!
Rosemary has taken off with TikTokers cheering, and I understand that! I just had to put away my inherent skepticism about TikTok trends 😅 because I've known for over 20 years how amazing this plant is, and then I can only rejoice when millions of other people discover the power of the plant! Because in addition to an incredible amount of experience, there are also several studies that show rosemary's great properties:
🙌 Rosemary for hair growth
🙌 Rosemary against hair loss
🙌 Rosemary for fuller and healthier hair
🙌 Rosemary for itchy scalp and dandruff
🙌 Rosemary for increased blood circulation
🙌 Rosemary for more shine and glossy hair
Rosemary IS FANTASTIC, I mean really great 🌱🧡
🤔 But what makes rosemary so good for the scalp and hair?
👉🏻 Much of the credit goes to carnosic acid, a phenolic chemical compound in the plant. In addition, rosemary has over a dozen different antioxidants that can neutralize free radicals.
Carnosic acid has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help regenerate damaged nerves and tissues in your body. By applying it to your scalp, you create an environment where your hair can thrive 💆🏼♀️. So by increasing blood flow to your scalp, you’re giving your hair the nutrients it needs to shed less, grow more, and just be a little healthier ✨
There are many causes of hair loss, including hormonal, genetic causes, infections, stress, age-related, reactions in the immune system. The most common are hormonal causes, and especially the type of hair loss that occurs when a byproduct of testosterone, called DHT (dihydrotestosterone), shrinks and reduces the hair follicles.
💆🏼♀️ Studies from 2013 and 2015, among others, showed that rosemary oil massaged into the scalp over time can help block the hormone DHT, which is the most common cause of hair loss in men in particular, but it also affects women.
🌿 As mentioned, Rosemary oil also stimulates blood circulation and thus improves the conditions for hair growth . Dandruff and dry scalp can also improve with rosemary due to the increased blood circulation combined with the fact that rosemary is antifungal, antibacterial and a good antioxidant.
But, it's not like anything works like a miracle, so you can't expect increased hair growth in a week or two. Studies have shown that it usually takes 3-6 months, so here it's important to get into the habit of massaging your scalp with fantastic rosemary oil 💆🏼♀️ or a home alternative is to make your own rosemary water and rinse your hair with it after washing. I find the easiest thing to do is to apply a few pumps of our hair oil to your scalp at bedtime, massage in, sleep with it and wash it out during the day. Heidi, my sister, and I talked about it over the weekend, and enthusiastically agreed that it has also given us more shine and softer, more beautiful hair. We massage our scalp, but also rub the oil into our hair so it shines well 😊
I lost some hair after my last birth and maternity leave, and much of the fullness is back, but not like before.. BUT NOW! With patience I massage my scalp and stimulate my hair follicles, so I imagine them smiling and moving and waking up again, so at the next count I aim for a much higher number of hairs 😊
HOW TO USE?
💆🏼♀️ TO THE HEAD
Part your hair by lifting it up, pump one pump into your scalp, use your fingertips to massage in, and repeat all over your scalp. Leave it on for at least 20 minutes, but you can sleep with it on overnight (possibly with a soft towel on your pillow if you feel it has become very oily) before washing your hair. Can be used several times a week.
👱🏼♀️ FOR THE HAIR
Pump one or two pumps into your hand, distribute between your hands and fingertips, and gently run your hands/fingers through your hair, either towel-dried or dry hair. Lightly scrunch into ends if needed, otherwise just apply lightly to avoid making your hair too oily. Great for creating more volume/curls, taming frizz, adding moisture and nourishment, and adding shine.
🚿 USE HAIR OIL AFTER SHOWER
1. Wash your hair as usual and towel dry.
2. Apply the serum to the ends of your hair, working your way upwards.
3. Allow the serum to absorb into the hair - enjoy fresh and healthy hair!
💪🏼 With regular use, you too will soon say 👋🏼 goodbye to dry, frizzy hair and welcome soft, shiny, strong hair!
Linda and Ylva use Rosmarin hair serum daily, and look how wonderful they are!
In addition to all its fabulous effects on hair growth, hair loss and scalp problems in general, rosemary has also proven to be powerful and effective mentally, for example on memory , concentration and depression. Rosemary has been an important ingredient in Panther balm for over 19 years now, mostly because it increases blood flow, but also because it can be uplifting and nerve-strengthening. A completely natural and fragrant mental tonic! 💚
💚 So here are the benefits of using this invigorating plant!
