Hi guys! Today I’m sharing two scalp tonics for hair growth for the #wintergrowthchallenge 🖤 We had a lot of questions about rosemary during our live last week so I wanted to include it in the first tonic. All you need is: -aloe vera gel: I’m using gel directly from an aloe leaf, but you can purchase the gel or juice separately at a store. Aloe gel is really soothing and hydrating for the scalp, and it’s also really light weight. -rosemary essential oil: rosemary is very stimulating and helps to promote hair growth, and it also helps to boost shine and promote scalp health. -carrier oil of your choice: I like to use jojoba oil because it’s really light weight and it’s similar to the natural sebum our scalps produce. Any carrier oil is fine, but it’s necessary in order to dilute the rosemary essential oil in the mixture. I add a few tablespoons of aloe gel or juice to a bowl, and then I add 1 tablespoon of jojoba oil and about 5-10 drops of rosemary essential oil. You don’t need much because it doesn’t take a lot to coat the scalp. Be sure to do a patch test on your wrist before using essential oils on your scalp! They are very potent and can cause skin irritation if used incorrectly. If you have sensitive skin, use more carrier oil to further dilute the essential oil. I apply this all over my scalp and take some time to massage it in. Then I leave it for about 1 hour before washing it out as normal. I love using aloe on my scalp in the winter because it’s so soothing to the skin, and it also makes the roots of my hair feel so soft. An alternative to this tonic is to use a rosemary tea rinse! I have a video about it on my YouTube channel if you’d like to go that route 🖤 @hairbyolivemarri will also be sharing a scalp tonic, so stay tuned!
I also cut about 4 inches of hair off lolol, so this is officially my “starting length” for the growth challenge. It measures 35 inches from the front of my head down to the longest part. Measuring isn’t always completely accurate, so for reference, my hair sits at my bellybutton now and it’s a few inches above my tailbone in the back!
