Menopause brings with it significant hormonal changes that can lead to, among many things, thinning hair. It's a struggle many of us know all too well, and so many 'solutions' out there bring with them a slew of other side effects.
We're here to help!
You might have heard of rosemary oil by now - its become a new buzzword ingredient in so many hair care products. But do you know why?
Rosemary oil can help block a hormone called DHT from attaching to hair follicles, thereby preventing the shrinkage that leads to hair thinning. DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a hormone linked to hair loss, particularly in women undergoing hormonal changes during menopause.
It blocks DHT by lowering the activity of an enzyme called the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone to DHT, the hormone that contributes to male pattern baldness.
Another one of rosemary oil's most powerful effects is its ability to improve circulation. This increased blood flow helps deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles, promoting growth and strength over time.
Studies have shown that applying rosemary oil to the scalp may even be as effective as certain medicinal treatments like minoxidil in reducing hair loss, and without causing scalp irritation.
Because rosemary oil is natural and gentle, it’s an ideal remedy for women like us who are looking for non-invasive ways to maintain hair health.

How to Use Rosemary Oil for Hair Growth
- Add to Shampoo: An easy way to incorporate rosemary oil is by adding a few drops directly to your shampoo or conditioner. This makes it easy to include the benefits in your regular routine.
- Hair Mask: For deeper nourishment, you can create a DIY hair mask by combining rosemary oil with a hydrating oil base like castor, jojoba, coconut, etc, leaving it on your scalp for at least 30 minutes before rinsing, 2-3 times a week. (save yourself time and grab our 100% natural formula HERE)Â
