Essential oils are considered the natural remedy for all those who want to nourish and grow hair, and recently it is being used for eyebrows and eyelashes. But does rosemary oil really work for the latter?
Rosemary oil, as Nkem Ugonabo, a dermatologist in New York, explains, is an essential oil that comes from the rosemary plant and is traditionally used for medicinal and culinary purposes.
Rosemary oil has been studied for years to better understand its effectiveness in hair loss and to determine if it can be considered a legitimate hair loss treatment. So it's only natural that many people think it would be just as useful for eyebrows and eyelashes.
Ugonabo Dermatology says more research is needed before it can be fully claimed that this oil is an ally in eyebrow growth as well. Despite the testimonials pouring in on TikTok claiming that rosemary oil helped grow eyebrow and eyelash hair, more scientific evidence is needed to prove this.
Other benefits
Rosemary oil can still be beneficial for your hair care. In addition to potential hair growth, dermatologists say rosemary oil can help strengthen hair and reduce hair damage. Experts add that the oil is also thought to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits as well.
Side effects
Like any essential oil, rosemary oil can have some side effects if not diluted and mixed with other ingredients. May cause burning, redness and other signs of irritation or allergic reaction.
