The interest in rosemary oil gained popularity on social media app TikTok after beauty and wellness influencers shared their experiences using the product while showcasing the results after around six weeks. “The power of social media, especially TikTok, allows influencers worldwide to share their experiences and knowledge with those who might want to know more about a particular beauty topic but don’t know quite where to start," shares William Zeqiri, founder and CEO of Fresha. "These findings are a definite eye-opener to see just how much exposure TikTok can offer to such a simple and accessible substance like rosemary oil and proves just how many people are interested in natural remedies of haircare which are fun and easily manageable, even if you are a regular salon visitor.” The interest in rosemary oil alongside the hashtag #hairtok has racked up an astonishing number of views.

What does rosemary oil do to your hair? The oil stimulates and promotes hair growth, battles against dandruff and prevents premature graying. It is also proven to add shine and a healthy glow to the hair after a more extended period of regular use. The beauty influencers on TikTok recommend using rosemary oil as part of your hair care routine, not to expect results after the first few uses and sticking with it as you could see incredible differences in your hair's health even after six weeks. How often should you use rosemary oil in your hair? It is recommended if you have thinner, lighter and easily damaged hair, you should use the oil once a week as a treatment. If dandruff is what you want to battle, then use a few drops of rosemary oil alongside gentler oils such as coconut, caster or jojoba oil. It can be used up to four times a week for shorter periods of time. Mixing rosemary oil with lighter oils such as these will help dilute the rosemary oil's strength and work to soothe and nurture the hair while using the natural oils. from BeautyLaunchPad
Niacinamide, a type of Vitamin B3 is found in foods like meat, milk, fish, eggs, veggies and cereals. Here's its benefits for hair health explained by a dermatologist.  Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin that can assist in healthy hair growth. (Freepik) If you are suffering from hair fall, thinning of hair and a lot of hair damage, and tried almost all the hair growth products available on the shelves, it's time to go back to basics and fix your diet. Niacinamide, a type of Vitamin B3, can do wonders for your hair health by preventing inflammation in the scalp, enhancing blood circulation and aiding in production of keratin, an important protein for our hair health. Niacinamide should not to be confused with niacin which is another type of Vitamin B3. However, if you have excess niacin in your body, it gets converted into niacinamide by your body. Niacinamide is found in foods like meat, milk, fish, eggs, green veggies and cereals. It is also found in various hair care products. One can either consume foods rich in this important vitamin or apply it externally. "Vitamins play an important role in maintaining our hair health. Niacinamide aka Vitamin B3 is one such ingredient for hair health. Also known as nicotinamide, this vitamin is water soluble and aids in many functions of body such as reducing oxidative stress, metabolizing proteins, and lipids, improve cellular energy and synthesize the carbohydrate to be used by the body. It is also useful in regulating sebum production in the body," says Dr. Rinky Kapoor, Consultant Dermatologist, Cosmetic Dermatologist & Dermato-Surgeon, The Esthetic Clinics Mumbai, India. "Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin that can assist in healthy hair growth. Its antioxidant properties can improve blood circulation, and bring oxygen to the hair follicles, resulting in good hair growth. It helps keep the hair lustrous by maintaining sheen and strength. It supports a healthy scalp by balancing moisture and creating a protective layer that enables healthy hair growth. It reduces scalp inflammation and promotes thicker hair growth and improved alopecia," says Dr Anup Dhir, senior consultant, Apollo Hospital and ex-president, Indian Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. BENEFITS OF NIACINAMIDE Dr Rinky Kapoor shares amazing benefits of using niacinamide for hair. • It enhances blood circulation: Since Vitamin B3 is in charge of delivering energy, it promotes healthy blood circulation and delivery to oxygen and nutrient to the hair follicles. This improves healthy hair growth and gives the hair sheen and suppleness by improving hair textures. This vitamin also helps in bring health back to chemically damaged hair.
• Helps in Keratin synthesis and production: Keratin is a natural protein that is essential for hair as our hair is 90% keratin. Niacinamide increases protein production leading to high levels of keratin which in turn gives bouncy and healthy hair with less breakage and brittleness. • Calms down scalp inflammation: Inflammation is one of the primary causes of hair fall in men and women. Niacinamide can reduce the redness and inflammation in the scalp and prevent hair fall from worsening. The hair become thicker and fuller. • Promotes thicker hair growth: Since the follicular healthy improves with nicotinamide because of reduced oxidate stress, the hair does not go into the resting phase of the growth cycle early on. This improves the texture and thickness of the hair, and the overall look becomes voluminous. • Protects hair from environmental damage: Niacinamide has excellent antioxidant properties that protect the hair from harmful effects of UV rays and also prevent the pollution, heat etc. from drying the hair. This fortifies the lipid barrier and if you are fond of using heating and styling tools, niacinamide can help protect it from the damage. 4/10/2023 Natural Remedies for Dandruff: How to use Peppermint Oil for Itchy, Flaky Scalp and Hair Loss Natural Remedies for Dandruff: How to use Peppermint Oil for Itchy, Flaky Scalp and Hair Loss Peppermint is the one herb that most people know of, but they do not necessarily know about how it can benefit your hair health and that it’s one of the best natural remedies for dandruff, dry and itchy scalp, as well as hair loss. Intrigued? Let me tell you why. The peppermint plant grows quite easily. If you have it growing in your garden you’ll know it’s such a low input plant, just a bit of water and it just grows and grows, and can take over the surrounding plants. And then it’s time to step in and cut it back before it takes over your garden. But does peppermint work the same way for hair growth? We’re going to find out here. Peppermint is known to be a strong herbal player, with multiple healing and restorative powers. It’s used for its ability to soothe itchy and inflamed skin and has analgesic action, so it works to reduce headache, muscle pain as well as joint pain. Plus, it helps in relieving cough, cold, sore throat, sinusitis, and bronchitis. The same healing properties benefit our scalp and helps with hair growth too. If you are experiencing dandruff, or itchy, dry, and flaky scalp, these are signs that something is wrong with your scalp health. It could be due to the use of harsh products containing chemicals, which can strip it of its natural oils. It could also be another microorganism or fungus troubling your scalp. Normally, your body is able to get rid of unhealthy microbes. If it is not, it may be a sign of inflammation in the body, presenting physically caused by an unhealthy diet, poor quality sleep, and stress. Have a read of my other blog post listed at the end of this one, How to Reduce Inflammation in the Body Peppermint oil has Cleansing, Cooling Effects That’s because of its antiseptic and astringent action. It helps to cleanse the accumulated build-up from the scalp and unclog the hair follicles. Together with this, peppermint stimulates the cold receptor on the skin, causing the sensation of coolness, tingling, and slight numbness. So if you have been itching constantly and have a red, angry scalp, peppermint oil will soothe and bring you relief. Peppermint Oil is one of the Best Natural Remedies for Dandruff Fungal and bacterial overgrowth is often the cause of your scalp producing excessive flakes. Peppermint oil is an effective anti-microbial, fighting bacteria as well as fungi. That’s great news for your hair too. Constant itching and inflammation are disturbing for your hair roots, however, a clean and refreshed scalp provides the best environment for your hair to grow and thrive. What about Hair Loss – How Does Peppermint Help? Yes, peppermint oil promotes a healthy scalp. But peppermint also has a direct role in improving hair growth. The herb’s stimulating properties boost blood flow and circulation to the scalp. This, in turn, sends more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, so it grows strong and healthy hair. How to use Peppermint oil: natural remedies for dandruff and hair loss The popular way of using peppermint on hair is by using its essential oil. If you like head massages, you will enjoy the tingling sensation and refreshing fragrance of peppermint oil.. Hair Oil Blend Peppermint essential oil is readily available from most health stores or online. It’s best to mix a few drops with a carrier oil such as coconut oil and massage onto your scalp. Apply the oil blend directly to the scalp, with your fingertips, massage into your scalp, and work it through the roots to the tips of the hair. You can also use a wooden or bamboo comb to massage your scalp. Leave it on for an hour or ideally overnight for it to work longer. Wash with a natural shampoo, like the Nettle Shampoo bar. I use peppermint oil in the Nettle Hair Oil blend, together with nettle-infused oil, known for the hair-boosting properties, as well as castor oil, argan oil, jojoba, and rosemary.  Nettle Hair Oil – with Peppermint, Rosemary, Argan, Castor, Jojoba and Nettle-infused Olive oil Herbal Hair Rinse Another way of using peppermint is in the form of herbal hair rinse. There are a number of herbal teas that make great natural remedies for dandruff and hair loss. Simply brew peppermint tea as if you were going to drink it, once cooled, strain and it’s ready to use. After shampooing, slowly pour the peppermint tea rinse over your wet hair. Massage it into your scalp for 4-5 minutes. Towel dry, then style as normal. I’ve written another blog with a number of different herbal hair rinses you may enjoy 5 Herbal Hair Rinses for Natural Hair Growth, Shine, and Conditioning. Are there any side effects of using peppermint essential oil? It’s generally safe to use. But if you have never used it, I always suggest you do a patch test on the wrist. You will feel a cool, tingly sensation as the oil sits on your skin. If it starts to burn or hurt, wash it out. Never apply peppermint oil straight to your scalp. Always dilute it with a carrier oil like liquid (fractionated) coconut oil. If you are pregnant, taking any medication or have a medical condition, check with a health care provider before using essential oil.  Buying Peppermint Oil There are several varieties of peppermint oils, and the right one to buy should be listed by it’s botanical name Mentha piperita. You can buy the peppermint oil online here. What do you know now? I explained how peppermint oil is one of the best natural remedies for dandruff, dry, flaky scalp. It’s great for relieving the itch and promote new hair growth. Because it’s anti-microbial, it fights inflammation and fungus often found on the scalp. The cooling sensation stimulates blood flow and circulation to the area, which feeds the follicles, growing stronger, thicker hair. And lastly, it smells great and tingles on the skin. from The Wild Nettle Co You'll also want to check out these articles:
