DIY Rosemary Hair Tonic Growth Spray

If you’re anything like me, you’re tired of trying countless expensive hair growth products that promise miracles but deliver disappointment, right? If you’re looking for a natural and effective solution for healthier, thicker hair, then you’re in for a treat. I recently discovered the DIY Rosemary Hair Growth Tonic through a friend and incorporated it into my hair care routine. In this blog post, I’ll take you through my experience with this rosemary tonic and tell you what not to do – learn from my mistakes! 

The Power of Rosemary

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s understand why rosemary is considered a hair growth elixir. According to the oil experts at Wholesale Botanics, Rosemary is known for its ability to stimulate hair follicles, promote blood circulation to the scalp, and improve hair strength. Rosemary is known for its ability to stimulate hair follicles, promote blood circulation to the scalp, and improve hair strength. This herb is packed with antioxidants that can combat hair loss and support overall hair health. Its versatility and effectiveness have made it a popular choice for those looking to achieve luscious, thick hair.

So, naturally, when I started to see rosemary tonics all over Amazon, I knew it was time to get my hands dirty and make my own. Shortly after I dropped 60lb, my hair started to fall out. As the year after the weight loss went by, there was a lot of breakage and hair loss. Now, I know many are thinking it was due to the weight loss, and I thought for a minute maybe it was. Perhaps the weight loss shocked my system. And while that could be a little bit of the reason, I was also entering into perimenopause. 

I have been wanting to tell this story for some time, and maybe we will get into that eventually, but for the sake of this post, we will just say that perimenopause, along with my fibroids and PCOS, it did not do my body any good. I was very sick, eventually becoming anemic. My auto-immune issues were flaring up all the time. My hair was falling out. AND THEN – I was put on medication to try to battle some of these issues, only for that medicine to have a side effect of extreme hair loss and/or Alopecia. I stopped that medication, but the damage had been done. 

Thus began my journey to save my hair. 

I had mentioned to one of my best friends, whose son happens to be one of the best and well-known hairdressers in their area, that I was interested in trying the rice water sprays. She had told me, she tried it, leaving her hair a sticky mess. She followed up with how she had been using some homemade rosemary water as suggested by her son. He had just mentioned the week prior at her hair appointment that he had noticed a lot of new baby hairs! So, of course, I was sold. She said it was pretty straightforward: just boil some water, add rosemary, and let it cook on low heat for a little while. Add to a spray bottle, boom. Done. 

Anyone who knows me knows I do not do things the easy way. Also, I just had to be different. Here comes the recipe I started with, and at the end of this post, I will tell you how it ended for me.

So, How Did the Rosemary Tonic Hair Growth Spray Work for Me?

If you have read this far, thank you. So, how did the concoction work for me? It didn’t, and here’s why. I do not follow simple directions. I wanted to add tea tree to the mixture because tea tree mixed in my shampoo keeps my extra oily roots at bay. I did not want to add tea tree essential oil or other oil-type ingredients because I knew it would just sit on my head and make my roots oily. 

INSTEAD – 

I decided to boil some water, put it in a Ball canning jar, add the sprigs of rosemary, and I added some green tea bags. In theory, this sounded like the perfect idea. Benefits of tea without the oil. 

I let the mixture sit for a few days before I poured some into my spray bottle and got to work. 

It wasn’t long before I happened to walk by my jar of tonic and noticed particles floating around. 

Y’all, my mixture had gotten mold on the tea bags. 

So, don’t do this. Make the recipe as given and follow the advice of my friend. 

In the end, I ended up just cutting off all of my hair. New me, right?
