The biggest concern that most people have while growing their hair is keeping it damage-free and healthy. This includes intensively caring for your hair on a regular basis by oiling it, treating it with hair masks, cleansing it, and preventing potential damage.
Here is one of those tricks to naturally grow your hair longer and thicker! It’s rosemary-infused olive oil hair mask. Try it!
Both extra virgin olive oil and rosemary, are very very beneficial and effective for hair health and natural growth.
One of the most important qualities of rosemary that make it great for hair growth is that it is a powerful stimulant, which when applied to the scalp induces blood circulation to the hair follicles. When the hair follicles are supplied with a greater amount of nutrient-rich blood, faster and healthier hair growth occurs.
Rosemary is also a powerful antimicrobial herb with antifungal, antibacterial and antiseptic properties that help prevent and treat dandruff, flaky scalp, acne on scalp and other infections on the scalp that contribute to hair fall.
Olive oil works well as a carrier oil when using rosemary. It conditions the hair and seals the cuticle without weighing it down. With its rich content of omega-6 fatty acids, it also strengthens your hair and nourishes your scalp, ensuring that the new hair that is growing is strong and healthy.
Extra virgin olive oil also gives additional stimulation to blood circulation and nourishes the follicles with essential nutrients and unsaturated fats. It also helps seal moisture in the hair shaft, preventing dryness and making hair more manageable.
