Rosemary is an ayurvedic herb with numerous benefits such as strengthening the hair follicles, minimizing hair breakage, and providing your hair with much-needed moisture.

All these benefits result in the creation of an environment that encourages the growth of healthy, long hair.

Despite having all these awesome benefits, it may cause irritation when used on a sensitive scalp.

Benefits of Rosemary Water for Hair

1. Promotes hair growth

Rosemary water has been found to help thin hair grow their hair back. [1]

It works similarly to minoxidil, better known as Rogaine, which is a hair loss medicine.

2. Improves blood circulation

Rosemary water contains ursolic acid which helps increase blood circulation in the scalp. An increase in blood circulation ensures that nutrients and oxygen are delivered to your hair follicles to keep them healthy.

Having a steady supply of blood to your hair follicles ensures a longer anagen phase, which is the phase in which your hair grows. [2]

3. Soothes the scalp

The scalp may develop problems such as itching, dandruff, and fungal and bacterial infections. All these problems cause damage to your hair follicles impacting the growth of your hair negatively. Rosemary water contains anti-inflammatory that may help alleviate some of these issues. [4]

This ensures that your scalp stays healthy. A healthy scalp creates a healthy environment for optimal hair growth.

4. Boosts the strength and shine of the hair strands

Rosemary is a source of a good amount of antioxidants. Antioxidants prevent your hair follicles from being damaged by free radicals. [5]

This, along with its benefit in points one, two, and three, help prevent hair damage, resulting in strong, shinier hair strands.
