How to Make Your Own Rosemary Water for Hair?

Making your own rosemary water for hair is a simple and cost-effective way to potentially boost hair health. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Steps to Make Rosemary Water

Boil the Water: Bring 100ml of water to a boil in a saucepan.
Add Rosemary: Add 3 fresh rosemary sprigs to the boiling water. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use about 1-2 tablespoons of dried rosemary.
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and simmer the rosemary in the water for 15 minutes. Simmering allows the rosemary to release its beneficial compounds into the water.
Steep: After simmering, turn off the heat and let the mixture sit for at least one hour, allowing it to steep. Leaving the rosemary sprigs in the water during this time maximizes the infusion. You can even let it steep overnight for a stronger concentration.
Strain: Strain the rosemary water to remove the rosemary sprigs or dried leaves. Use a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to ensure a clear liquid.
Transfer: Transfer the rosemary water to a clean spray bottle or a jar for easy use and storage.

Spray directly onto the scalp: After washing your hair, spray the rosemary water directly onto your scalp and massage it in. Leave it on; there's no need to rinse.
Use as a hair rinse: After shampooing and conditioning, pour the rosemary water over your hair as a final rinse.
Incorporate into hair masks: Add rosemary water to your DIY hair masks for an extra boost of nutrients.

Rosemary water can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This helps prevent bacterial growth and keeps it fresh.

While more research is needed, anecdotal evidence suggests that rosemary water may help:

Stimulate hair growth: Rosemary is believed to improve circulation in the scalp, which could promote hair growth.
Reduce hair loss: Some people believe that rosemary can help strengthen hair follicles and reduce hair fall.
Improve scalp health: Rosemary has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that may benefit scalp health.
Add shine and manageability: Rosemary water can help to add shine and make hair more manageable.
