I’m in a Covid support hair loss group, there have been some mixed information on that …it can cause more damage.

Very consistent support for rosemary oil though !!

I have had great results w/it. The type of Castor oil I use has lavender and rosemary in it. I put fresh rosemary in my lemon water, in the winter my hot tea. Everyone is different and will have different results. Castor oil has been around since the dawn of time. I put castor oil on my nails and it has helped them as well. It is also good for scars.

Yes! I’ve seen many recipes on Pinterest for Rosemary hair rinse. Overall probably the most effective thing for hair loss.

My naturopath highly recommended…she said the studies on it was better than anything pharmaceutical …not surprising lol 😄

Taken orally or rubbed on the scalp? Also, what is the dosage?

I’ve heard that but I don’t know if I can get myself to “drink” that….

You don't drink it. I use it two ways, I have a dropper so it is easier to manage because it is very thick stuff. I put maybe half or so of the dropper on my finger and then put it on my scalp where I want it to go, usually on my part line. I let it stay on overnight, or if I am going to be home I will put it on my scalp for a few hours before I shower.

I put a dropperful in my hair conditioning bottle and shake well so it is diluted. I let the conditioner sit on my head for as long as I have time for and then rinse as usual. All I know is my hair is starting to have more thickness and body to it and when I comb it less is falling out. Everyone is different.

I have switched shampoo to a Tea Tree oil based and then another that is apple cider vinegar based. So far I like both. I have curly hair and anyone that has curly knows you don't mess w/it once it dries because it gets frizzy. Using the castor oil helps w/that, and no, I don't look like Debbie Wasserman-Shultz's hair.

Thank you for taking the time to explain the process to me. I started taking Nutrafol a couple months ago and will see if that helps. I have very fine hair and the humidity is high this time of year in MO. so its a daily struggle in addition to having hair at all different lengths because even though I’m losing hair it is growing back and fortunately have no bald spots. Thank you again!

You are welcome. Yes! The humidity is brutal on fine hair. So glad your hair is growing back, that is most excellent. Let me know how the Nutrafol works. I get impatient because it is hard to pace when trying out new things to learn which is doing what and whether it helps or not. Some of this stuff can take months before you notice, and sometimes I don't really notice until I quit taking/doing something and then realize how much xyz really helped.
