To make rosemary water for hair, follow these simple steps:
- Ingredients and Equipment:
- Fresh rosemary sprigs (about 2-4 sprigs)
- Water (about 2-3 cups)
- Saucepan
- Spray bottle or jar
- Funnel (optional, for easy transfer)
- Preparation:
- Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan.
- Add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the boiling water.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and cover it.
- Let the rosemary steep for at least 1 hour or until the water cools to room temperature. For a stronger infusion, you can simmer the rosemary for about 15 minutes before steeping
- Straining and Storage:
- Strain the rosemary water to remove the sprigs.
- Transfer the cooled rosemary water into a clean spray bottle using a funnel if needed.
- Store the rosemary water in the refrigerator; it will stay fresh for up to two weeks
- Usage:
- Spray the rosemary water onto your scalp and hairline, parting your hair to ensure good coverage.
- Use it on dry or lightly damp hair.
- For best results, use daily or 2-3 times a week.
- You can leave it in your hair or rinse out after 30 minutes.
- Massaging the scalp after application can enhance absorption and stimulate hair growth
Additional Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary rather than dried for better effectiveness.
- If you prefer, rosemary essential oil can be used instead: add 10-15 drops to boiled water cooled to lukewarm, then stir and store
- Rosemary water is known to promote hair growth, improve scalp health, reduce dandruff, and add shine to hair
