Top 10+ Rosemary Hair Rinse Recipes for Hair Growth & More

One of the greatest secrets for hair growth is rosemary hair rinses. I use one every week without fail to keep my hair growing thick long and luscious.

Rosemary is a popular medicinal herb, native to the Mediterranean region as well as Portugal and Spain. Its leaves contain beneficial compounds for hair growth such rosmarinic acid, ursolic acid, carnosic acid and eucalyptol which have the following benefits for hair growth:

  • Increase blood circulation in the scalp with their scalp stimulating properties
  • Work at the cellular level to block DHT, which is a main culprit that is linked to hair thinning and loss
  • Have anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe inflammation and reduce scalp irritation
  • Help heal nerve and tissue damage, which can rejuvenate scalp nerves and promote hair growth
  • Has antioxidant qualities that prevent hair damage and boost scalp health

All these qualities work in synergy to improve scalp health, leading to the formation of thicker, longer and luscious hair!

Top 10+ Rosemary Hair Rinse Recipes

Below are some of my favorite rosemary hair rinse recipes that I’ve tried and tested out and have fallen in love with! Each recipe contains hair growth stimulating ingredients that work wonders in helping lengthen and thicken your hair naturally.

Tip: You can use these are hair growth sprays or hair growth rinses – it’s your call! I love using them as both, all you have to do is adjust the quantities or simply freeze excess liquid to use for later!

1.   Ginger + Rosemary Hair Rinse

I LOVE spritzing this ginger rosemary hair growth spray on my scalp throughout the day. It’s a perfect low maintenance hair growth secret! 🤩😳😱🙊🤐🤫

Ginger is a zingy spice that has a warming nature. This means that it stimulates blood circulation when applied to the skin/scalp. Increased blood circulation in the scalp means each and every hair follicle receives nutrient-rich blood which makes them more nourished and able to produce stronger longer and thicker hair.

Don’t forget that ginger also has powerful antimicrobial, anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, making it great for fighting off dandruff and scalp infections that hinder hair growth.

Some people like to make a ginger hair growth spray but I know combining rosemary and ginger gives you DOUBLE the hair growth you’d like to see!

What you need

Directions

  1. Wash and carefully peel (optional) and grate two inches of ginger.
  2. Add 4 cups of water to a pot and let it come to a boil.
  3. Add the ginger and rosemary to the pot.
  4. Reduce heat to medium low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. When the time is up, let it cool down completely.
  6. Your rosemary hair rinse is ready!
  7. Pour it over your hair as the final hair rinse after shampooing and conditioning.

2.    Cloves + Cinnamon + Rosemary Hair Rinse

Rosemary, cloves and cinnamon are an amazing combo for making a hair growth rinse. Let’s see some of the benefits of cloves and cinnamon for hair:

Cloves and cinnamon are both warming spices, meaning when their essences are rubbed onto the skin they heat it up, which promotes blood circulation. This increased blood circulation on the scalp helps each and every hair follicle, even the dormant ones, to be nourished with nutrient-rich blood and function well to produce strong long hairs.

Cloves also have anti-inflammatory compounds like eugenol and gallic acid that which help reduce scalp inflammation and keep the scalp healthy, fostering good hair growth. The antifungal properties of cloves make it perfect for warding off scalp fungal infections like dandruff.

Cinnamon contains compounds like cinnamaldehyde and procyanidin, which can promote hair growth. It also has strong antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties that protect the scalp from factors that cause hair loss and thinning.

What you need

Directions

  1. Add water to a pot and bring it to a boil.
  2. Next, add the rosemary, cloves and cinnamon.
  3. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Let it cool down completely.
  5. Filter out the herbs using a strainer.
  6. Pour it into a bottle using a funnel and take it to the shower with you.
  7. During the final hair rinse, after shampooing and conditioning, pour it over your scalp and hair length.

3.    Hibiscus + Rosemary Hair Rinse

Hibiscus is a beautiful flower that is known to be excellent for hair care! It is rich in essential vitamins and nutrients that strengthen the hair follicles, stimulate hair growth and prevent hair fall.

It is also used as a natural hair dye to mask gray hairs for brunettes and redheads!

4.    Aloe Vera + Rosemary Hair Rinse

Aloe vera is a succulent plant that is rich in vitamins B12, C and E which can help your hair grow luscious. Folic acid in aloe vera helps prevent hair loss.  

Aloenin, a chemical compound found in the plant, is a primary factor in promoting hair growth, as seen in people with alopecia, a hair loss condition.

We’ll be using the fresh aloe leaf for this recipe! You can purchase a full aloe leaf from the grocery store, or if you grow your own aloe in the pot, that would be amazing! For those who don’t have access to fresh, dried aloe vera leaf or aloe vera powder works well too, of course!

Thyme is rich in nutrients and antioxidants that stimulate the hair follicles, improve blood circulation on the scalp and promote hair growth.

It also has anti-fungal and antiseptic properties that fight against dandruff and scalp infections.

Just like many other hair growth herbs, thyme has a warming nature that when applied on skin, promotes blood circulation and stimulates all hair follicles to produce healthy hair strands.

Nettle is also known to inhibit the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can cause hair thinning and loss in men and women.

Sage can help in the regeneration of new hair follicles. It stimulates blood flow to the scalp and helps strengthen the hair shaft.

You’ll enjoy this rosemary hair growth spray featuring one other special ingredient: fenugreek! These golden seeds make your hair GROW like no man’s business! Stop playing with meeeee 😳😱😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Fenugreek is popular in the Indian subcontinent where it is known as methi. In Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine), it’s purported to be a powerful hair grower. It is rich in amino acids and proteins, which helps repair damaged hair strands by strengthening the hair shaft and restoring elasticity.

The lecithin content in fenugreek helps nourish the scalp and restores hair shine. Fenugreek may also interact with DHT and help prevent it from attaching to the hair follicles.

Last but not least, the mucilaginous properties of fenugreek draw moisture to the hair, making it soft and hydrated.

Combining rosemary and fenugreek makes for a very potent hair growth rinse that helps boost longer and thicker hair!

11. Spearmint + Oregano + Basil + Rosemary Hair Rinse

I love incorporating more than one hair growth herb to my rosemary hair rinse recipes so this hair rinse features 4 herbs in total! Let’s check out their benefits:

Spearmint is related to peppermint and it also contains menthol, which makes it great for promoting that cooling tingling sensation on the scalp which promotes blood flow and stimulates blood circulation.

Oregano is a powerful anti-fungal ingredient which fights off dandruff and other scalp fungal infections. It also increases blood circulation in the scalp, which promotes hair growth.

Basil contains a compound called beta-sitosterol, which may inhibit DHT, a hormone that can cause hereditary hair loss. It also helps stimulate the dermal papillae, which are located at the bulbs of the hair follicles, triggering healthy hair growth.

I normally use this rosemary hair rinse as a hair growth spray so the quantities are fewer than if making an actual rinse. Feel free to increase the quantities if you want to use it as a hair rinse at a go!

What you need

Directions

  1. Store the bottle in the refrigerator where it will last up to 7 days. You can preserve the excess if any, in an ice tray or silicone molds and thaw it before use.

  6. Strain the herbs.
  7. Pour the resulting hair rinse into a spray bottle.
  8. Spritz on your scalp and hair, especially right after a shower before you dry your hair.
