Month 2
It was about 9 months ago when I realized I was experiencing hair loss around my edges. I was sitting at my vanity, getting ready to twist my hair, and I gasped. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My edges looked like someone came in with tweezers and plucked away 70% of my hair. I was horrified. After spending a few days crying about my hair loss, I decided to challenge myself and find ways to regrow my natural hair.
I started with lifestyle changes. Getting more sleep, decreasing my stress, and even eating healthier. I noticed some differences, but it was nowhere near where I wanted to be. I wanted my edges to look and feel as thick and dense as the rest of my hair. I knew this may have been an impossible standard, but I was determined to try.
A few weeks ago, after seeing minimal change, I decided to look into alternative hair loss treatments. I must have done days of research. I watched countless videos, read a handful of articles, and even had a conversation with a board-certified physician. Each source provided me with useful information, however, there was one organic hair loss treatment that caught my attention: rosemary oil.
What is Rosemary
Rosemary is a Mediterranean herb that has been used for its medicinal properties for centuries. Traditionally, it has been used to treat muscle pain, enhance memory, and best of all, stimulate hair growth. Rosemary has many anti-inflammatory properties plus it is a rich source of antioxidants. Both characteristics help to boost blood circulation in the body, including your scalp.
Benefits of Rosemary Oil for Hair Loss
At the current moment, minoxidil is leading the charge in hair growth treatments. This compound has been used as a hair growth treatment in patients with alopecia and female pattern baldness.
In a 2015 study, there was a randomized control trial that compared rosemary oil to minoxidil 2%. It was concluded that after 6-months of use, both saw a significant increase in hair growth, but there was no difference between the two groups. That means rosemary oil showed the same amount of improved hair growth as minoxidil 2%!
What Oil is Best for Natural Hair
When people talk about rosemary oil, many never talk about the oil portion. Even in two of the biggest scientific studies, little has been said about the type of oil that was used. Rosemary oil is an oil that is infused with rosemary. Therefore, oil does play some role in the effectiveness of the treatment.
For natural hair, I suggest using jojoba oil. This is because jojoba oil is a wax ester that closely resembles human sebum. Sebum is the natural oil our scalp produces to coat, moisturize and protect our hair. For people with straighter or looser curl patterns, sebum is an effective solo moisturizer. For people with kinker textures, this is not the case.
The sebum is never able to reach the entire length of our hair due to the curly nature of our hair strands. It gets trapped along the roots and is unable to travel down the shaft of the hair. That is why jojoba oil is perfect for type 4’s because it is able to mimic this natural moisturizer.
At the current moment, I am in week 1 of trying rosemary oil for hair loss. Call me crazy, but I swear I already see some new growth! I plan on using it for the next few months and keeping track of my progress here and/or on my YouTube channel.
There are two ways to make rosemary oil for Hair Growth. You can use rosemary essential oil and mix it with a carrier oil, or you can take fresh rosemary leaves and infuse them into your oil of choice. I chose to infuse the rosemary myself. Here’s how I did it:

Sebum is the natural oil our scalp produces to coat, moisturize and protect our hair. For people with straighter or looser curl patterns, sebum is an effective solo moisturizer. For people with kinker textures, this is not the case.
The sebum is never able to reach the entire length of our hair due to the curly nature of our hair strands. It gets trapped along the roots and is unable to travel down the shaft of the hair. That is why jojoba oil is perfect for type 4’s because it is able to mimic this natural moisturizer.
At the current moment, I am in week 1 of trying rosemary oil for hair loss. Call me crazy, but I swear I already see some new growth! I plan on using it for the next few months and keeping track of my progress here and/or on my YouTube channel.
There are two ways to make rosemary oil for Hair Growth. You can use rosemary essential oil and mix it with a carrier oil, or you can take fresh rosemary leaves and infuse them into your oil of choice. I chose to infuse the rosemary myself. Here’s how I did it:

It was about 9 months ago when I realized I was experiencing hair loss around my edges. I was sitting at my vanity, getting ready to twist my hair, and I gasped. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My edges looked like someone came in with tweezers and plucked away 70% of my hair. I was horrified. After spending a few days crying about my hair loss, I decided to challenge myself and find ways to regrow my natural hair.
I started with lifestyle changes. Getting more sleep, decreasing my stress, and even eating healthier. I noticed some differences, but it was nowhere near where I wanted to be. I wanted my edges to look and feel as thick and dense as the rest of my hair. I knew this may have been an impossible standard, but I was determined to try.
A few weeks ago, after seeing minimal change, I decided to look into alternative hair loss treatments. I must have done days of research. I watched countless videos, read a handful of articles, and even had a conversation with a board-certified physician. Each source provided me with useful information, however, there was one organic hair loss treatment that caught my attention: rosemary oil.
What is Rosemary
Rosemary is a Mediterranean herb that has been used for its medicinal properties for centuries. Traditionally, it has been used to treat muscle pain, enhance memory, and best of all, stimulate hair growth. Rosemary has many anti-inflammatory properties plus it is a rich source of antioxidants. Both characteristics help to boost blood circulation in the body, including your scalp.
Benefits of Rosemary Oil for Hair Loss
At the current moment, minoxidil is leading the charge in hair growth treatments. This compound has been used as a hair growth treatment in patients with alopecia and female pattern baldness.
In a 2015 study, there was a randomized control trial that compared rosemary oil to minoxidil 2%. It was concluded that after 6-months of use, both saw a significant increase in hair growth, but there was no difference between the two groups. That means rosemary oil showed the same amount of improved hair growth as minoxidil 2%!
What Oil is Best for Natural Hair
When people talk about rosemary oil, many never talk about the oil portion. Even in two of the biggest scientific studies, little has been said about the type of oil that was used. Rosemary oil is an oil that is infused with rosemary. Therefore, oil does play some role in the effectiveness of the treatment.
For natural hair, I suggest using jojoba oil. This is because jojoba oil is a wax ester that closely resembles human sebum. Sebum is the natural oil our scalp produces to coat, moisturize and protect our hair. For people with straighter or looser curl patterns, sebum is an effective solo moisturizer. For people with kinker textures, this is not the case.
The sebum is never able to reach the entire length of our hair due to the curly nature of our hair strands. It gets trapped along the roots and is unable to travel down the shaft of the hair. That is why jojoba oil is perfect for type 4’s because it is able to mimic this natural moisturizer.
