Rosemary is known to support hair growth and stimulate the hair follicles.
Massage and touch is also beneficial so Win/Win.

Recently, after completing part of Kami’s class, I made a Bhringraj infused Absynnian oil. I use it on only half of my head as I am testing for efficacy with respect to “hair shed”. Bhringraj is supposed to help w that.

I always wonder with oiling, how much of the benefit is from touch and intention and how much the oil itself?

Got a hair cut and my hair feels remarkable!! I used Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, Rose Petals, and Rosemary. Lovely fragrance. Will upgrade to Castor Oil Blend.

I do it before bed to allow overnight effects of this lovely feeling. I was thinking for hair health and not thinking of the relaxing and calming effects. Will have to take note next time for its effect on sleep.

If you use oils like argan, jojoba or sweet almond oils, which are less greasy, and apply a clarifying shampoo before wetting your hair, scalp oiling should not make oily hair worse.

I’ve seen conflicting info about using it for regrowth, but it is anti-inflammatory and deeply nourishing. Rosemary infused oil is wonderful for encouraging hair growth.

Yes, it’s nourishing for the scalp

I do this practice every day before showering and to prepare for Meditation and my Yoga Practice. Of course, in the Summer it is easier to apply it also on the hair, but in the Winter it is quite difficult as I have very long hair. It is different from yours, but the benefits I get are incomparable.
