Why is everyone adding Rosemary Oil to their hair-care routine?

Most people know rosemary to be a herb that perfectly finishes off cuisine. However, when the leaves of this Mediterranean plant are put through ‘steam distillation’, the magic is unlocked! This process is characterised by passing steam through the rosemary leaves which extracts the essential oil component – this is the part that’s the work horse for hair-care benefits! Due to this separation, rosemary oil can come in many forms! It may already be mixed with a carrier oil (for example, jojoba oil) which can be directly used on your hair. Or, it may come, in its more concentrated form of pure essential oil – it is important that you dilute this before use, as it can cause irritation.

Our favourite is the XHC rosemary oil! There is no need to dilute this formula so this is a convenient option to leave out all the fuss. Now with added mint, your scalp will be left feeling refreshed and ready to grow! There has never been a better time to try Rosemary oil.

Rosemary oil is thought to be the pioneer when it comes to boosting blood flow to your hair follicle. Hair follicle health is imperative as this is the ‘root’ of all hair growth. By promoting higher blood circulation to the top of the scalp, you are allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach your scalp which provides the perfect environment for your hair to flourish.

However, this is not the only impact rosemary can have on your scalp. With its hydrating properties, rosemary oil can aid keeping dandruff at bay and keeping inflammation away! Additionally, with the extra love and attention to your stands, mixed with the extra hydration, you are less likely to pull on your hair which leads to breakage and split ends! It is important to be extra gentle when combing your hair post Rosemary Oil application as it can be more prone to breakage. We recommend a wide toothcomb or a brush specifically made for detangling!
