Encourage hair to grow and thicken

[brandy]

I read that one could thicken hair and encourage it grow faster by mixing rosemary e o with either jojoba oil, castor oil or olive oil. I also read it could be used for alopaecia (sp) as well to encourage hair growth.

Has anyone tried this yet? What were your results like?
I would really want to know because I am going to start this soon.Thank you.

I have not tried it. Rosemary does encourage growth as well as a lot of other oils.

Here's a thread that may help you out.

Also, I jotted down this recipe form a study that was done on alopecia sufferer's. For some reason I can't find the link right now but here's the recipe:

Cedarwood (2 drops)
Lavender (3 drops)
Rosemary (2 drops)
Thyme (2 drops)
Jojoba (1/2 teaspoon)
Grapeseed (4 teaspoons)

I recommend that you do the research on any oils before using them.

I add rosemary essential oil to my topical growth potion. It is coconut oil and black castor oil to which I have added several drops of tea tree oil, rosemary oil and cayenne extract. I try lots of different things all the times. I stop using some things and try other new things, but one of the things I will never drop is rosemary oil. As you have heard, it is great for stimulating growth as well as other essential oils. Rosemary oil is also a key ingredient in Nature's Blessings hair pomade which I just love. I research things for days, sometimes weeks, before using them, so like Pokahontas said, make sure you do your research before using them.

Thank you Pokahontas,
I will certainly do a research!

Did you notice any faster growth? Thank you for responding.

I don't know, really. I never put anything on my scalp until about a year ago, but when I started using topical oils for my scalp to encourage and stimulate growth, I know I did feel the tingling sometimes and other times there was no overt tingling, but my scalp just felt happy...cannot really explain it -- just take my word for it... I take supplements, which I have been doing for years anyway and I really pamper my hair, but I still do not know if I get more than a half inch a month. What I do know is that I am retaining what is growing. I have seen alot of retention over the last 13 months (from moisturizing, pampering my ends and having ceased pressing my hair a couple times a week after I let my relaxer grow out), but I am not sure at all if I have gotten extra growth beyond the standard half inch a month...
