Apply rosemary oil to scalp

Mix 5-10 drops of rosemary essential oil into 1 tablespoon of carrier oil. Massage into the scalp for 2-3 minutes, focusing on thinning areas along the part line. Leave on for at least 30 minutes or overnight, then shampoo out. Repeat 2-3 times per week.

Why It Works

Rosemary oil has shown comparable results to minoxidil 2% in a 6-month clinical trial, likely by improving scalp circulation and providing mild anti-inflammatory effects. It is a popular natural option for women who prefer to avoid pharmaceutical treatments.

Tips

• Always dilute in a carrier oil — undiluted essential oil can burn the scalp
• Consistent use for 3-6 months is needed before evaluating results
• Can be combined with other treatments like minoxidil
