Does rosemary oil promote hair growth?
The short answer is yes. “Rosemary oil can help stimulate healthy, thick hair,” affirms Dr. Graf. “The oil can speed up the process of cell turnover and growth, which can work as a natural remedy to grow thicker hair. Since it is an anti-inflammatory, it is used for preventing hair loss, as well as regrowth.”
