Introduction:
Rosemary hair oil has become increasingly popular due to its numerous benefits for hair health, such as stimulating growth, improving shine, and combating dandruff. The fragrant herb’s essential oil can easily be turned into a hair oil in the comfort of your own home. Follow these 12 simple steps to make homemade rosemary hair oil.
Step 1: Gather supplies
You will need the following:
– Fresh rosemary sprigs
– Your choice of carrier oil (such as coconut, olive, or jojoba)
– A glass jar with a lid
– A fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
– A dropper bottle or small container for storage
Step 2: Rinse the rosemary
Wash the fresh rosemary sprigs under running water, ensuring that dirt and debris are removed.
Step 3: Dry the rosemary
Using a clean towel or paper towels, gently pat the rosemary sprigs until they are dry.
Step 4: Chop rosemary into small pieces
Roughly chop the clean, dry rosemary sprigs into small pieces to maximize oil extraction.
Step 5: Place chopped rosemary into jar
Fill the glass jar with the chopped rosemary until it’s about three-quarters full.
Step 6: Choose a carrier oil
Select a carrier oil best suited to your hair type. For example, olive oil can be beneficial for dry hair, while coconut oil is ideal for damaged hair.
Step 7: Pour carrier oil into the jar
Slowly pour your choice of carrier oil into the glass jar until it covers all of the chopped rosemary. Leave some room at the top for expansion during storage.
Step 8: Seal and shake
Tightly close the lid on the jar before shaking it vigorously to mix the contents thoroughly.
Step 9: Store jar in a cool, dark place
Find a cool, dark spot to store the jar. Allow the rosemary and oil mixture to steep for at least two weeks for optimal infusion.
Step 10: Shake jar daily
Remember to shake the jar once each day to ensure effective oil infusion.
Step 11: Strain the mixture
After two weeks have passed, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the now-infused oil from the rosemary debris.
Step 12: Transfer to storage container
Transfer the strained rosemary hair oil into a dropper bottle or small container for storage.
