About a week later, I only washed my hair once or twice a week and I was all ready to go in, but this time I applied rosemary oil before bed. I did the same thing and massaged the oil into my scalp with my fingers, but then put it back in the pan and applied a shower cap to protect the pillowcase. But even more importantly, I wanted to make sure the oil was concentrated in a place I wanted (my scalp) that wasn’t absorbed by the pillowcase and, worse, it didn’t reach my face.
In the morning I lathered as usual, and when it brushed my hair and how it felt, I saw a noticeable difference in its smoothness. My hair is very long so the length can often dry out and brittle, but especially with rosemary scalp oil, I put it overnight, especially on my scalp, which has changed for the better.
On the next few washes, I replaced the hair with oil before washing and the other time I left it overnight for deeper penetration.
Pro Tip: I actually put it in before my workout. Because we know that heat can be a game changer that allows the product to penetrate. Increased body temperature opens the hair cuticles, but makes the skin more transparent. Therefore, the active ingredients can actually reach where they are needed for better absorption.

It’s still a little early for a month, but I see the actual hair growth a little earlier, but I use the heat, especially when I spray my hair and place it frequently in a ponytail, so I get some nice little buds along my hairline that I can’t deny. You will also see that the scalp is healthier and the hair appears smoother and shinier. And with these visible tactile signs that rosemary oil is doing something, I feel compelled to continue my healthy hair journey.
Conclusion
Whether you experience hair loss due to stress or aging, or want to take precautions to maintain a beautiful, healthy strand, rosemary oil is a huge addition to your hair care routine. It doesn’t necessarily fast-forward hair growth, but smoothing the hair and injecting moisture into the roots will cause hair brittleness, damage, more likely to split or break, and longer hair.
