TikTok’s Rosemary Scalp Bar
Rosemary water and its benefits for hair can be seen all over TikTok. But, we find these bars are even easier to make and use for an effective rosemary hair treatment. “Rosemary is a plant-based ingredient that can help the overall health of your hair and scalp due to its anti-inflammatory properties,” says Philadelphia-based hairstylist Annagjid “Kee” Taylor. She adds that rosemary can stimulate hair growth, thicken your strands from the roots, help increase blood circulation, improve scalp conditions, and even help reduce stress.
How to DIY a Rosemary Mint Scalp Bar
To make the DIY rosemary mint scalp bar it’s actually quite simple. You need a few ingredients and the help of a mold.
Fill a pot of water and add rosemary and mint (you can buy these at your local grocery store). Make sure it’s fresh as you’ll put the whole sprigs in the pot. After you bring it to a boil, let the mixture cool before pouring it into your special molds to put into the freezer. We found these ones on Amazon that have the massage element to them which will be perfect for stimulating your scalp.
“Anyone with thinning hair or suffering from hair loss could benefit from using rosemary to help aid in regrowth,” says Taylor. This specific mold makes four treatments. Try doing the rosemary bar twice a week. If you have time, it’s safe to do it every time you wash your hair.
