Rosemary, widely used as a cooking spice, has been used for centuries for its potential benefits in promoting wellness. It has amazing antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it one of the best powerhouse ingredients. Not only is rosemary powerful for the body but it has been demonstrated to be great for the hair as well. Here are some of the reasons rosemary may be your next hair growth “go-to” product.
Stimulating Hair Follicles
Rosemary oil may help stimulate hair follicles, promoting hair growth and preventing loss. In recent studies, it has been demonstrated that rosemary directly assists with protecting against hair loss. Comparing the benefits against commonly used products like minoxidil for both male and female pattern baldness, it was demonstrated to be just as effective. Another study added that it was effective in reducing scalp itch, a common problem with minoxidil, as well [1].
Improving Scalp Circulation
Similar to peppermint oil, rosemary oil is known for its ability to stimulate circulation to the scalp. Improving the circulation or blood flow in the scalp delivers vital oxygen and nutrients to the scalp and hair follicles, fueling hair growth.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Rosemary contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help soothe the scalp and reduce the inflammation possibly contributing to hair loss. If your scalp is easily irritated, red, and itchy, rosemary may be a pivotal ingredient to keep your hands away from your head and soothe your sensitive scalp.
Antioxidant Effects
The antioxidants present in rosemary can help protect hair follicles from damage caused by free radicals, potentially preventing hair loss. Beyond the antioxidant effects however, rosemary can contribute to a healthier scalp as it is a natural antibacterial and anti-fungal agent [2].
Bottom Line
Rosemary is an effective ingredient for a healthy scalp, to protect against hair loss, and to promote hair growth. Many studies have demonstrated the benefits of rosemary, and that is why Tangl stands behind the science in its development of our 4-in-1 supercharged Rx Rosemary Plus with rosemary and caffeine in its hair growth compound.
