Rosemary Oil for Hair Benefits

Rosemary oil has been long renowned way back to the ancient days of beauty for its ability to grow and darken the hair. Today, Rosemary oil is little or sporadically known of in regards to its benefits for hair. Seemingly a 'magic' natural hair tonic, it is perfect for dry and thin roots. Yet, there's a multitude more of Rosemary Oil's benefits for your hair. They are:

  • It helps to lower DHT (dihydroxytestoserone) in the body, which in turn promotes that lovely hair growth that so many that know the oil speak of
  • Increases nerve growth factor to aid in healing damaged nerve tissue 
  • Does indeed slow graying hair with repeated, long term use
  • Can help decrease hair shed after washing 
  • The natural scent of rosemary oil used in aromatherapy (or even massaging it into your scalp for five minutes) can help lower cortisol, a stress associated hormone. This in turn, can make you feel calmer and more relaxed when used regularly, as stress can also lead to hair fall out and stunted hair growth, among other problems. 

Other benefits not associated with hair growth:
  • Can help improve memory when applied to and around the scalp (diluted essential oil) or when inhaled (the scent) on a regular basis
  • Contains Iron, Calcium, and phytonutrients that can help the body protect your skin against sun damage
  • Has the ability to fight cancer cells within the body (**Check with your doctor or health care specialist before trying to treat any serious condition at home**)
  • Balances androgen and estrogen levels in the body
  • Soothes digestive issues and stimulates the flow of bile and aids in leveling out the microflora in your stomach
  • Aids by also stopping inflammation when herb is ingested or when applied topically
  • Is a fantastic hair disinfectant (*Not to replace a regular hair washing routine*)

Always, as a rule of thumb, make sure you get the non-synthetic, natural or organic grade rosemary oil or any other essential oil you are attempting to purchase. Not all oils are created equal, and some essential oils are synthetic or filled with 'filler scents' that simply smell like whatever oil they are trying to mimic. They don't carry the same natural benefits to your hair or body as the organic and nature-based oils do. With Rosemary oil, may your hair grow, your memory improve and your body be relaxed. Thanks for reading, and I hope this new essential oil introduction can greatly benefit your routine. Have a great day! 😊

**Always ask your doctor first before using Rosemary oil or any other essential oil if you are pregnant or nursing. Thank You.**

Product Review: Shea Moisture Curling Gel Souffle vs. Curl Enhancing Smoothie

Hey you guys! Sorry it's been a minute, but I am back this time with a product review of Shea Moisture's Coconut and Hibiscus line, featuring the Curling Gel Souffle and the Curl Enhancing Smoothie. Honestly, the very first product I have used in defining my curls on this hair care journey has been the Coconut and Hibiscus Curling Gel Souffle. I actually stumbled upon it while trying to find another product for curls in my local drugstore, and decided to give it a shot. According to the label, it contains Agave Nectar and Flax Seed oil, and is an anti-frizz formulation and helps moisturize the hair. Personal feelings concerning the Shea Moisture line are varied, however I decided that an honest review of these products is still necessary for those beginning or just searching for a staple curling moisturizer to just use and go about their day. So here's the diddy: ~Gel Souffle (Duration of use: 1 month)  Cons: Is tacky and sticky Sits on top of the hair Can be ha

Product Review Shea Moisture: Gel Souffle vs. Curl Enhancing Smoothie Pt. 2

Image
Welcome to Part 2 and my final verdict for both the Shea Moisture Curling Gel Souffle and the Curl Enhancing Smoothie. I heard of the Curl Enhancing Smoothie by word of mouth, and it was said to be good for curl definition. Many have regarded it as a staple in their natural hair regimines, so I decided to give it a go as well. Curl Enhancing Smoothie: (Duration: 3 Weeks) Cons: Slightly greasy Not really light as a "smoothie"/ thick and a little dense with formulation Leaves a white film or residue on hair Pros: Lightweight on hair  Moisturizing Nice for a lighter curl definition  I'm not gonna lie, the Curl Enhancing Smoothie let me down. It was not that great of a product, and I think this is why I don't like to buy into the hype of beauty or hair care products, because once you hype me up, you have to deliver on your formulation. This did not deliver nearly as expected. It left a white film on my hair where it was placed, even more so than the

What is Your Hair Type? and Why It's Important

Image
Hair types come in a variety of shapes, spirals, curls, and textures. Finding your hair type is key to your success in this epic hair journey you've embarked on. Most of the hair charts on the internet can be confusing and sometimes downright frustrating. Not to worry; Here's a simple, more to the point rundown of the most common curl patterns and hair textures, and how to care for them. Feel free to toggle these key points and generalizations to your liking for your own personal hair type. 2A, 2B, and 2C These are the wavy hair categories, and they are most common in those whose hair is primarily of European descent. They tend to be light and wavy, both in texture and feel of the hair, and curl shape. They commonly do not take on oils and heavy creams very well, and "overnight oil treatments" and thick curl enhancing creams can weigh the hair down and even promote dirt and oil build up. Products should be used that are very light weight serums or hairspray, and s
