Nettles for Growth

I've been reading a lot about the Nettle leaves lately and was wondering if it really does promote hair growth and strength. My grandmother told me it does and that this has been a known fact for the longest time. Then I read a thread somewhere around here that reminded me of what I've been hearing. SO, I went out and bought some tea bags from the health food store. I brewed some to make a rinse which I will be using two to three times per week for the next two months. I will also drink one cup before bed time during this time. If NOTHING, at least I will get some health benefits :lol:.

Has anyone else here used Nettle tea as a rinse?
 
I never have, but I've wanted to for years. I have a holistic book and they talk about using nettle as a rinse for hair. They said it makes it grow and makes hair strong. Let us know if it works!:)
 
I have heard of nettle rinses being used to keep hair dark. I made a strong nettle tea/ACV rinse once, but it did not seem to have any effect on my hair like rosemary does. I do like nettle tea during the winter months though.
 
The Liquid Hair Skin Nails formula has nettle, I also see it in tons of leave ins including the Elucence Mousse. So I can believe it.

Yes, I've heard this too. I forgot about rosemary. I will purchase some of that as well.
 
I read things here and there about nettles being good for the hair...I get my dosage in my Carols Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey and the African Glory Oil that I use....I dont know about using it alone or its affects internally :perplexed...let us know what you experience
 
I put the Nettle EO on my eyebrows and it grew them in beautifully. I have not used it as a hair rinse nor drank it as a tea. I've heard that it causes itchiness.
 
I made an infusion of nettles and water last week, and have used it three times as a final rinse...I have to say, it does make my hair feel strong. I use the loose herb, just throw it into a pot of hot water and let it steep, then add my rosemary and peppermint EOs.

I also bought some nettle tea bags...the stuff isn't so bad, when you flavor it with lemon and honey. I don't know how healthy it's going to make me, but there seem to be no adverse side effects (itching, etc.)

We'll see how it works with my hair growth...:ohwell:
 
I just tried my first nettle rinse w/rosemary leaves. I plan on using the rinse atleast once a week maybe twice if time permits. I will keep you posted on the outcome. Question are you ladies using rosemary eo or leave with the rinse?

Wow, that's interesting...I know somebody that might be interested in this.

Hmm, I like that combo. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks ladies for your input!
