Rosemary oil has become all the rage in the beauty community, as it ''may support circulation, which may prevent hair follicles from being starved of blood supply, dying off, and leading to hair loss'', reported Healthline.
With a whopping 250 reviews online, it's easy to see why the hair syrup has become a part of their weekly routine, boasting a 4.8-star rating.
One woman recently proved just how effective the bargain find has been on her mane, sharing jaw-dropping before and after photos of her thinning tressess.
According to the woman, whose epic makeover was shared on the brand's TikTok account, she had visited doctors following dramatic hair thinning and bald patches around her temples.
She said: ''I honestly can't believe the difference, after countless of doctors appointments and blood tests to find out if there was a deficiency after severe hair loss and thinning - nothing came of it.
''My sister bought my my first hair syrup and I've never looked back. The improvement on thickness, strength and how healthy my hair looks now is incredible.
''So, thank you very much, you've honestly saved my confidence.''
Someone else shared their positive experience on the brand's website, writing: ''Healed my scabby scalp, hair feels smoother, more nourished, can already see more baby hair growth after 2 uses - with a scalp massager as well. Smells so clean and fresh.''
A mum wrote: ''Great serum to help with hair growth. This is my 2nd bottle now and have used since having hair loss after pregnancy.
''It has helped loads with growth.''
''Really great hair syrup, was sceptical but can see new growth along hairline. Makes hair very soft and no flaky scalp,'' read another rave review.
The science behind Rosemary Oil
ROSEMARY oil has garnered attention for its potential to promote hair growth, and there is a growing body of scientific evidence to support its efficiency.
Here's a look at the mechanisms through which rosemary oil may benefit your hair:
Improving Blood Circulation
Rosemary oil is known to enhance blood circulation when applied to the scalp. Improved blood flow ensures that hair follicles receive more oxygen and nutrients, which are essential for healthy hair growth.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Inflammation of the scalp can lead to hair loss and hinder hair growth. Rosemary oil contains anti-inflammatory compounds like carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid, which can help reduce inflammation and create a healthier environment for hair growth.
Antioxidant Effects
Rosemary oil is rich in antioxidants, which combat free radicals that can damage hair follicles. By neutralising these harmful molecules, rosemary oil helps maintain the health of hair follicles and supports robust hair growth.
DHT Reduction
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone linked to hair loss, particularly in cases of androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness). Some studies suggest that rosemary oil might inhibit the production of DHT, thereby helping to prevent hair loss associated with this condition.
Antimicrobial Properties
Scalp infections caused by bacteria or fungi can lead to hair loss. Rosemary oil has antimicrobial properties that can help keep the scalp clean and free from infections, fostering a healthier environment for hair growth.
Stress Reduction
Chronic stress is a known factor that can contribute to hair loss. The aromatic properties of rosemary oil are often used in aromatherapy to reduce stress and anxiety, indirectly benefiting hair health.
Lucie Macleod - the mastermind behind the customer-loved company - launched Hair Syrup at just 20-years-old during the COVID-19 pandemic.
What began as a side hustle in her parent’s house, which was started with just £600, money she had made from her job at an ice cream shop, quickly snowballed into a viral phenomenon on TikTok.
Lucie told Fabulous: “I used my wages from working in an ice cream shop.
“I spent about 10 hours a day packing. I was up every night until 2am. It was very stressful, and obviously with my degree it was very, very hard.
“Now, we are selling tens of thousands of units every month and make about £300,000 a month.
“We’re projecting a £3.5million turnover in the next year.”
If you don’t use TikTok and haven’t ever heard of Hair Syrup, Lucie explained: “Hair Syrup is a digital brand and we sell a small range of pre-wash oil treatments.
