Trustworthy u say 👀 ? ..coconut oil have been widely used in my culture for many moons 🌙 for various purposes including hair growth . See lots of these studies r done by companies that promote their products ..
@@adampersaud4716 she’s a professional, she uses actual science. Just because a culture uses it for certain things doesn’t mean it actually works for certain things, sure coconut oil is good for the hair studies have already proved that however it doesn’t mean it actually helps with making hair grow or that it’s the best product for hair growth.
My honest hair growth journey: prioritize sleep, maintain scalp cleanliness, shampoo less and hydrate more, get regular trims, brush hair daily, and apply liitlllextrra serum of reactivate every day. It includes rosemary and other beneficial ingredients that consistently promote the growth of new baby hairs.
I've tried the wishcare serum in the past, but it didn't give results but this reaactivate growth serum is effective for me, and I can actually see my hair growing back.
it works, GUYS, it truly works! i've used a total of three bottles of the reactivatte serum and i m seeing an increase in hair density... this is amazing! thanks, thanks, thanks!
I mix rosemary, coconut, peppermint and castor oils and leave it in my hair 30 min before shower twice a week. I've noticed fuller hair and less hairloss. I also take hair vitamins. We should keep in mind that any treatment we do won't be an overnight cure. It takes at least 6 months to a year to see any result.
I started drinking juice from Indian gooseberry by mixing it with juice from aloe vera two times daily. Regularly trimming the hair also helps. Take care of your lifestyle. Use liitleextraa cocooionn hydrating shampoo and hair oil as both are known good for hair fall control. If you do this every day, you will results in just a few weeks.
This liitllextra coocconion hair oil has transformed the way I care for my hair. This product features a great herbs. The scent indicates it contains key ingredients like coconut, onion, rosemary, fenugreek. What's really great about this product is that it has significantly reduced my hairfall and now my hair is thicker than ever. This hairoil is a must have.
I started taking the pumpkin seed oil (1000 MG/day) and after about two months, I noticed my hair was growing pretty rapidly. I was taking biotin for a year, but I felt it wasn't doing much. I also added rosemary oil & water treatments to my routine. I would say the combination of the rosemary oil & water along with the pumpkin seed oil has worked well for me! While length is my main focus, I did notice I have double the baby hairs.
@@bludarp152 Dr.Dray said the men in the Pumpkin seed oil test trial took 100mg 4 times a day. So it’s only 400 a day. You are 600 mg over and I guess it worked as well. Did you just then take one 1000 mg capsule a day? I am wondering though if Dr. Dray meant 1000. Because I can’t find it 100 mg.
Arnica. Topical and ingested. My dad took it during cancer treatment for pain and a side effect was thicker fuller hair. Rosemary oil did make his hair thicker, too. I believe it was CVS that carried an oil that was a castor and rosemary mix. I wish I could recall the brand. I would just double check the ingredients for purity and go with one from a store like that. Try the arnica. ❤
Pumpkin seed oil is delicious to use in a honey vinagrette salad dressing, instead of using olive oil. It adds new dimension to the taste. It is quite pricey, but you only need a tiny amount though, as it make you very "regular"! Once it is opened it needs to be stored in the refrigerator, to maintain nutritional benefits. It is not to be heated, or used in cooking. Pumpkin seed oil is an intense green colour. I buy mine in an Indian grocers. 👱♀️❤
I looked into the pumpkin seed oil. The study used a particular brand of Korean supplement, Octa Sabal Plus, that uses not only pumpkin seed oil (23-28%) but a variety of ingredients, so it's hard to say if pure pumpkin seed oil would give the same results. Octacosanol Soybean extract (19-24%) Mixed vegetable powder (20-25%) Evening primrose powder (23-28%) Corn silk extract (0.04 - 0.1%) Red clover powder Tomato powder
@@Make_AWish well that's some conflict of interest. I mean we don't lose anything trying. Pumpkin seed oil is not as expensive as actual hair loss treatments, but for sure this detail makes me feel less inclined to trust tjr the phenomenal result...
I found this online regarding the Pumpkin seed study (Re Octa Saba Plus) and it seems scary - at least for men - if I’m reading this right… “Product Information Explosive increase of prostate cancer Explosive increase of prostate since year 1995. Stomach cancer(24.0%) Lung cancer(16.0%) Liver cancer(15.4%) Colorectal cancer(11.6%) Bladder cancer(3.2%) Prostate cancer(3%) Reported by Ministry of health & wellfare of Korea "Report 2002, Cancer registration program" Prostate cancer has been drastically increased by 211% between year 1995 & 2002 Prostate cancer ranked Top in August, 2008 Prostate is? Prostate is male's organ which produce a part of semen and secrete. This fluid is producing during sexual activity and merge with ejaculated semen. If prostate get too big than normal, then you shall face with the problem of ejaculation.”
Dr Dray doesn’t mention that the Pumpkin Seed Oil Trial was done with a Korean brand called OctaSabel Plus. A $600+ supplement that contains several other ingredients: One capsule of Octa-Sabal Plus contains 100mg of pumpkin seed powder - not oil. Additionally, contains a proprietary blend of: Octacosanols (derived from vegetable powder) Gamma linolenic acid (derived from evening prim rose powder) Polyphenols (derived from red clover powder) Lycopene (derived from tomato powder) Corn silk extract (from corn silk powder) These ingredients aren’t just fillers. Just like pumpkin seed oil, they target the myriad triggers of pattern hair loss. So if your wondering why your pumpkin seen oil you purchased over the counter at GNC didn’t work, it is probably because it doesn’t contain these other additional ingredients. The study doesn’t mention how these other ingredients could have influenced the results
I make my own hair oils by infusing herbs into olive oil for a month or more, and then I dilute rosemary oil to 3-5% and applied to scalp twice a week. I’ve noticed that my hair became overall better, and grew more in quantity.
It’s such a pleasure to receive such intellectual information from a professional. She treats us like intelligent adults. Thank you, Dr we love your videos.❤
Teatree oil is extremely drying..and will cause irritation to some people is used directly on the skin..but is a good antibacterial for infections early on. Coconut oil is good as a treatment for hair moisture..leave in for 1 hour after washing. Great information thank you..
I've had fantastic results with castor oil treatments applied to both my scalp and ends, though I absolutely believe it is so moisturizing that it just prevents breakage, my growth from the roots is the same or only slightly increased, but my hair fall is less, my scalp feels healthier, and I see less breakage, which absolutely makes it appear that the hair is growing faster. Thank you for sort of confirming my theory xx i am buying pumpkin seed oil capsules right now. I love your content. I came here because of Cassandra!!! Thank you for all you do 🥰
I can DEFINETLY say this works! I have hypothyroidism and was balding around my hairline , plus thinning hair all around.... I didnt think I could grow much less thicken my hair again.... After 4 months of taking 4 organic pumpkin seed oil capsules a day, and making my own rosemary oil to use topically (organic rosemary, organic olive oil, organic nettle powder, black jamaican castor oil, and organic pumpkin seed oil mixed) , PLUS my DIY rosemary water to spray before adding the oil to my hair, my hairline is growing back significantly and hair is thickening 🙌🏾💖🙌🏾 *For extra credit, I also drink nettle tea*
@@leander8840 Sure! I take several pieces of rinsed organic rosemary and about 6-7 cups of spring water on a crock pot to slow cook for about 2 hours. The crock pot extracts all the medicinal properties. Let it cool, then pour and funnel in a glass container(s) abd refrigerate to use for later /transfer in a spray bottle.
As an Indian gal, we grew up using coconut oil, castor oil and fenugreek seeds ground into a paste (applied as hair mask) regularly. I stopped doing it a while ago and I doubt it does anything really. However my mom and plenty of others swear by it. I honestly feel this has more to do with genes though 🤷🏽♀️
From what I've seen, coconut oil doesn't help at the follicle but helps moisturize and protect the actual hair strands. Castor oil is supposed to help actual growth. But of course I don't know if much actual research has been done so who knows lol. I agree genetics plays a big part
Thank you for saying that more studies are needed for rosemary oil. It's blown up on social media/haircare products after ONE study with a small sample size in ONE type of hair loss using a very specific dose
@@letyourlightshine2727 because it blocks the hair thinning hormone, called DHT? So it prevents hair from thinning and falling out. So it’s scientifically proven good for hair growth
On my mom's side of the family, many of the women lost their hair. I am now 55 and started having hair thinning in my mid/late 20s, but now it's much worse due to menopause. I do have too much androstenedione (male hormone). I know some don't like having to put stuff on your scalp, but I started using 8 drops of rosemary essential oil mixed with a little olive oil (the EVOO is a "carrier oil") every night on April 20, 2022. Rosemary oil has been studied and is as effective, without the side effects, as Minoxidil. I put a thin plastic shower cap over my oiled head at night. Anyway, I was looking at my scalp this morning, and I have tons of little baby hairs coming in where my temples have lost a lot of hair and all along the front of my hairline. I think it's working! They say it takes 6 months to really be able to see good new growth, but I have a glimmer of hope.
How is it going now? I use rosemary mint and clove oils in flax seed carrier. Seems to help with hair not falling out as much. Also great for itchy scalp
@@jingwills6267 in stores or websites that sell health products. Some big chain stores also sell them, I know I've seen oils at Meijer. Even the lower price brand works well for me, I use Now Foods.
I use a mixture of coconut oil and castor oil (as the carrier oils) and then put in a few drops of rosemary essential oil - massage into my scald and wrap my hair in a towel and leave it on for about an hour or so. Then shampoo and style as usual. I have no evidence that it's helping me grow any hair, HOWEVER, my hair feels awesome and is in better general health than it was before.
I have been making my own rosemary oil since they grow abundantly around yard. Also make rice water which is also easy to make. I use both on hair & scalp. I also use dermaroller just where hair is thin. Not rolling but just pressing the roller so I wouldn't incure breakage. Rosemary you can just mix that with water in a spray bottle and spray on scalp, then dry as normal. I like making my own rosemary straight from the plant because I know exactly what I'm getting.
@T.R. MCT I just mix about a qtr cup rosemary into 1 cup water into a glass jar (i just use like a old glass jelly jar with a lid). Then I sit that jar near a windowsill or wherever sun is coming into my house. I leave it, sitting for a couple weeks on the windowsill sill. Yes, then you can strain it, pouring all the liquid into a small bottle. I use an old hair oil bottle that has a twist top and open it up just enough to trickle all over my scalp. I apply to scalp 2-3 times per week.
At the start of the pandemic I wanted to oil my scalp with lavender and I legit grabbed an ESSENTIAL OIL and blended way too many drops into a carrier oil and massaged. My hair fell out from the lavender oil plus the overdoing of the massage. Please do your research and NEVER use essential oils without proper instructions. They are irritant, concentrated and many times artificial. Glad my scalp is back to normal now 😂 now I just oil my scalp without massage and with almond oil, a game changer
I'm sorry that happened to you but you said it yourself that you did not dilute it enough and over massaged/rubbed your scalp too much. Essential oils are safe and effective if used properly and yield beneficial results
Same here whenever I massage my hair after oiling my hair fall out. But if i use oil without massaging my hair doesn’t fall and yeah i love almond and amla oil
If you have fine hair, olive oil can be difficult to wash out of your hair, making it look oily, even after several shampoos. You would never use an essential oil like Rosemary or Clary Sage directly on your skin/ scalp; but always with a carrier oil like castor, almond or coconut oil. Studies are limited on natural treatments because a prescription can't be written for them so the monetary incentive isn't there.
@@EspadasYCopas I did put it only on the scalp and if I put it on a day beforehand, I wouldn't be able to go out of the house unless I covered up my head. I repeat, with fine hair, olive oil can be difficult to wash out.
Thank you. That was my experience. When I finally was able to wash off the olive oil, my hair felt stripped and dryer. I’m going to try emu oil with black pepper essential oil.
@@uanonymous1090 hi, i have super fine hair and I combine almond oil with a few drops of rosemary oil! I also love onion oil for my hair. I usually leave it overnight, two night a week.
I use two hair oils which are made up of all that good stuff, olive, argan, rosemary, castor etc.. Rahua's and French Girl's hair oils are awesome. I use them once a week and leave them overnight. Great for my hyper sensitive scalp. 👍🏻❤
Do you mind sharing the mixing ratio? The common recommendation is 5 drops of rosemary but some say mix with a teaspoon of carrier oil while others say a tablespoon of carrier oil. Curious which is actually correct.
I dilute rosemary, lavender and cedarwood essential oil in aloe vera and apply every night. It reduces gray hair and promotes hair growth. I have fine hair in general but it works for me and keeps my hair from breakage, is more shiney and is stronger.
Do you use Aloe Vera gel or juice? I want to try it with Aloe Vera, I imagine it'll be easier to use.. not as greasy as oil. Which brand do you use? Thanks!
@@dianecalnan8286 I use gel but apply it at night and wash in the morning and yes way less greasy. I use Amara beauty aloe gel. The essential oils are so important too be diluted so this really works for gray and breakage
Cutting out gluten and cows milk helped me get thicker hair and clearer skin. i think it’s because of large companies in USA using hormones in cows& feeding them garbage and using engineered grain seeds/plants for wheat (they dont even soak the wheat 10 hours like other countries do so in the end you get a lot more gluten in the wheat flour compared to other countries like france for eg) these two main food groups are known to cause inlamation in the body and this inlamation shows up differently … My sister gets eczema and her flare ups also went away when shes eating this way. Once in a while we eat icecream and the next day i notice a pimple and she gets a flare up.
For me personally, coconut oil helps in frizziness and makes hair soft. Castor oil is thick, hence I heat it up and use..so effective in growing hair.. and since I hear a lot about Rosemary, I want to try that too.. Im simply gonna ignore other hair oils because its not easily available at my place.
I have a friend who is from Nepal. She is nearly 70, but has a thick mane of glossy black hair! She recommends applying pumpkin seed oil for at least a couple of hours before washing your hair-better yet, overnight.
Omg I needed this so bad! Have been struggling with hairloss because of COVID and thankfully the worst is over after some treatment I did doing my own ~research, this so appreciated!!
I’m still struggling with it. The hair loss slowed down significantly after I got the vaccine, but it only lasted about 3/4 months and now it’s back to falling out a lot again. I feel silly being so upset about it, but I always had such thick hair and seeing so much of it fall out makes me cry. I also hate my ears (they stick out) but my thick hair always covered them, but now I’m finding that my ears with poke through my hair now. 😩😩😩😢😢😢
I mix rosemary oil and peppermint oil, good for consumption too, 20 drops of each in spray bottle of water and I spray it on scalp, gently massage it it and leave it on before washing my hear. For putting on scalp and leaving it on.. You need make rosemary water that doesn't contain irritating ingredients.
Dr. Dray, you are the only youtuber i trust! anytime i ever have a question about my hair/skin etc. i always search for a video of yours, because you always answer every question i have!
I have been using 100% pure castor oil on my hair for long time, months. I use it on 2 spots, one on each side of forehead. I have always had thin baby hairs in those spots but when I started using castor oil, after some time I noticed those hairs were growing longer. I rub it on and leave for at least 12 hrs and then wash hair. Since I wash hair twice a week I will use oil on the 2 days I wash hair and just wear a headband to cover oily look. My hair has definitely grown longer and am able to pull those hairs back now with the rest.
I'm very confused now. Dr Dray said that the use of castor oil is bad hair growth advice and that it has nothing to with stimulating it. It's in her „Worst skin care advice” video.
@@AnaboliKitchen I know it seems confusing because I'm saying opposite as Dr Dray. I was thrown off as well when I heard her talk about how it didn't help, when clearly I have had good benefits from it. I love Dr Dray, but I've noticed 2 things she has said that are contradictory to my experience and one is the castor oil and another is what she says about rose water. Rose water says it helps with inflammation, but Dray says there's no proof of that. I have bought rosewater spray before for the face and sprayed it on my face at night, which has acne, and next morning my skin is not as red and acne is tad bit better. So I personally like it. Plus I've had my boyfriend spray it on his face after he shaves, especially in hot weather, and his skin is not as irritated.
@@DrDrayzday Ive never started Finasteride dosing bc of the libido side-effect fear, but Ive racked my brain to try & understand why/how it could happen. My understanding (which could be wrong) is that mens libido can deteriorate as we get older bc our estrogen levels rise, which in turn lower our testosterone levels, thereby lowering our sex drive. BUT, if the MOA behind Finasteride is to block the conversion of our testosterone to DHT (which stunts the hair growth in the follicle), wouldnt that mean we have more testosterone in our systems and thereby less estrogen? If there is less T being converted to DHT, then we should have more T in our bodies, thereby less estrogen & more sex drive. No?
I have androgenic alopecia and in the past mixed rosemary oil mixed with aloe gel. I had good results with that. Then I was diagnosed with fragrance contact allergies. Had to switch to minoxidil which has been working. I was excited to her about diclofenac...I take that for lupus pain! I feel like it is now a bonus for my hair growth! I am going to throw in the pumpkin seed oil for the trifecta. Thank you for this helpful and hopeful video.
Weleda rosemary hair oil is readily available in the drug stores in us. I have used this company products for years. Very high quality. This oil is formulated specifically for hair so you do jot have to worry about using too much rosemary. Best!
for me.. black castor oil and i put rosemary tea on my hair!! it really helps. i’d say.. mainly diet helps your hair. eat clean.. lots of fish.. spinach, drink lots of water etc.
I combined rosemary oil and tea tree oil, lavender oil and olive oil and my hair had improve so much I had new baby hair growing and thickness had so many compliments and how shine and full it looks so I’m happy and I will continue using this oils because is working for me . I also let air dry and minimized hair spray o any other hair products and that’s important for me .
i used aloe vera juice on my hair last night and i noticed and significant difference in the amount of frizz, moisture and volume my hair had! would love to see dr dray's opinion on this.
Yay! I have been using rosemary oil and coconut oil. My hair is damaged and has breakage. Glad to hear that I’m doing some thing at least a little helpful
I add a few drops of rosemary oil and lavender oil to my shampoo, once a week, hoping to give my hair follicles a boost. My hair color and hair thickness has become like the hair I had 20 years ago. However, I also have improved my sleep habits and my diet . I eat pumpkin seeds every day so,perhaps, my breakfast has made my hair beautiful or having more time to relax and meditate has created a positive effect. I love all of your videos!
I love using peppermint oil in my conditioner and even in a hair mask that I leave on a few hours (castor oil + rosemary + shea moisture coconut conditioner). At first I didnt like the peppermint oil at all, but I’ve come to love it. Feels so so good. I don’t know if it really does help with hair loss or headaches but I love it. It feels so good and seems like I’m doing something proactive. Maybe I’m not, but because it feels so good I’ll keep using it. I’m glad for the info on pumpkin seed oil. I thought it was s one kore thing I should put in topically, so this was good info-get a good quality supplement. Check, will do. Dealing with post menopausal hair loss has been distressing, to put it mildly. I am determined to get ahead of this as well as I possibly can so I’ll be adding pumpkin seed oil supplements. I’m not sure what part of the changes I have made* is working, but the shocking amount of hair coming out every time I wash my hair and brush has lessened so that’s a big relief, as just seeing that caused upset. * I have also Saw palmetto supplants too. I e made a lot of changes so it’s not possible to know which are helping. I’m just very glad something is working. I would love to know what kind of rosemary oil oyjersxare Tsing that you can use daily, as I cannot wash my hair every day. It’s too dry and too long for daily washing.
I recently had to stop taking it and I wish I didn’t have to! My skin looked amazing on it and now I’m back to breaking out… but I had no idea it affected hair growth too!
I have androgenic alopecia. Have applied a mixture of pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto and rosemary oil to my scalp for 1 hr every other day. Fast forward 1 1/2 years, can't say I see much difference. It seems to have filled in a tiny bit round the hairline.
I don't know about the other oils, but the pumpkin seed oil must be stored in the refrigerator (once opened) to maintain it's integrity. It shouldn't be heated up either. I'm glad you are seeing some benefits so far, hopefully there will be more to come. 👱♀️❤
When you say for an hour I'm assuming you shampoo it out after an hour. Maybe you should not disturb it a few days or apply it more frequently as you would minoxidil which I think would be twice a day.
@@sable7114 hmm perhaps. I suppose I could try leave it on for 2-3 hours. It's an oil treatment so have to wash it out after. Would've been nice if it was a water based formula that could've stayed on the scalp. But oil is oil. Lol
I read Argan oil is the best and fastest hair growth oil, they call it " liquid gold" for a reason. Also the other 2 here she mentions here, pumpkin and rosemary are good too.
I used to do Rosemary oil mix with carrier oil 2 x week. It was messy and time consuming. I switched my hair shampoo and conditioner to Aveeno brand, both products have rosemary oil. After a couple of months my hair shedding was reduced by about 80%.
When I was younger I always used jojojoba oil for my hair and I had more density. Now I'm noticing more hair fall years after I stopped. It's was an African hair brand.
I've all the oils you mentioned. Now I use peppermint oil, tea tree oil, rosemary oil, argan oil, pumpkin seed oil, carrot seed oil, castor oil, jbco, coffee, fenugreek, cloves, parsley, onion oil, onion water, rice water, aloe vera, all have helped with my hair growth
I absolutely love her channel because she's packed so much info into her videos and I love being able to come to her channel for all types of valuable information. Thanks for this one I needed this
Horsetail is a source of silica and is often found in supplements for hair and nails. I have been using a bamboo sourced silica supplement for my thinning hair with very good results. If I remember correctly, horsetail can be hard on the kidnefys over time.
Horsetail also can cause heart palpitations. It doesn’t necessarily but if you’re taking a supplement with Horsetail in it and your heart is fluttering that can be the reason.
Castor oil. Is by far. The best thing to happen to my psoriasis. I put it on my scalp for a few hours before I wash my hair. It also stopped my hair from falling out.
I’m using Neem Oil at the moment. It’s summertime here and I attract insects more than I do men 🤔 I used only a little to rub into scalp, leaving it overnight. Maybe need a couple of washes but it’s ok. Also I added some Neem to the dregs in an old shampoo bottle and topped it up with Rice Water, which is very simple to make, thickens hair and prevents hair loss !! Thank you for your very educational videos ❤️
Thank You Dr. Dray! I’m going to try the pumpkin seed oil supplements and also try the rosemary oil topically. *Everything that you share is absolutely amazing and I always feel so thankful and grateful for you, I have been watching you for years and you are honest, real and genuine as well as impeccable and trustworthy. Watching your videos I feel as if I am sitting there with you and talking. Thank You for all that you do and share 💜☮️🙏🏼✨🌻
@@AmarSingh-uc7px Nothing scientific, yet it feels really healthy! I grow rosemary plants in my yard. If you don’t have any fresh rosemary, look in the produce section of your grocery store, as I often see fresh rosemary plants there. After cutting many sprigs of the rosemary, I put the fresh sprigs in a clean canning jar and then filled the jar with olive oil and cap it closed. I keep this in the refrigerator. It’s really starting to smell wonderful and the oil is getting a bit darker from the rosemary. I massage the rosemary infused oil into my scalp. The olive oil feels good, but it is a *little difficult to wash it out. Whether or not it is helping my hair to grow, its too soon to tell. However, I *feel like it is helping. I hope that this is helpful 🌻
Yes black Jamaican oil does make hair grow! My hair grew crazy in very little time! I added to scalp and rest of hair for like 4 hours . Then washed hair.
hallelujah, my favorite subject hair growth. hopefully there will be more research on the effectiveness of oils for regrowth hair thank you dr Dray for this video i've been waiting for.
I have lupus and excess bile in my skin after gallbladder removal surgery. It’s a struggle finding anything to keep my hair in my head. Ain’t no picnic being me. Thanks for your realistic reporting 🥰
Hi Dr. Dre, I tried acne patches for the first time thanks to your video about them, and I really like them. I was surprised at how much I like them, and how much bacteria they can grab, as well as flatten out the bump.
Hey, My opinion about let me say about Black castor oil etc is that they are good for afro American hair It doesn't make the hair grow, but it makes the hair more softner then any other oils. It's more that Afro American hair and scalp are more dryer So there fore next to hydrate the hair , its need a lot of moisture for lock it in, such as oils. There for this sort of hair oils are more for prevent breaking / dryness of the hair . Also you have les pulling of the hair , because of the oils. So again to use oils on afro american hair is more to prevent your hair for damaging. And not forget for moisturising your scalp. And tru those technique and oils , your hair can grow healthy and faster . About coconut oil I heard about that, but it can also be to much for people sometimes whatever hairtype they have.. Okay that was just my opinion, love your channel 😘👍
Howdy Dr. Dray, What was the dilution factor in the study? D=.6g/ml undiluted rosemary 45% 1/8-cineol in undiluted rosemary target dilution density= 3.7mg/ml I got 65x which seems super high but i guess would yield a 1.5% solution of rosemary oil diluted in carrier. Have I made a mistake in the assumptions or math, or am I correct? If anyone else has the answer please share.
Well I’ve been using Minoxidil and Rosemary oil for over Six months now and I have just started to get results. I have actually stopped wearing a hat every where I go because my hair is starting to fill in. Im gonna keep it up. Oh And after using a whole one ounce bottle of rosemary oil I read on the bottle that I’m supposed to mix it with a carrier oil. I didn’t do that. I also changed my shampoo and conditioners to non sulfate type.
I just made some rosemary oil yesterday! I used fresh Rosemary mixed it with olive oil and used a double boiler and let simmer for 30 minutes and then strained it leaving just the oil. Would this method be effective to help with hair growth?
I have seen some UA-camrs used fresh Rosemary. Since dr. Dre says to make certain you have genuine rosemary oil I guess the only way to be certain other than buying the one from the research would be to make your own rosemary oil. I just don't know how you would know how much Rosemary is in the oil, the olive oil. I'm just trying Rosemary essential oil and mixing a few drops with every tablespoon of jojoba oil.
Due to covid and my depression worsening, i started losing a lot of hair. Like literal clumps. Feeling like shit, i started using a mix rosemary and argan oil on my scalp and leaving it in for about an hour before washing my hair, and it worked for me! I started seeing noticeable results after 6 months, and after about 8 months my family started to notice the hair regrowth as well. I also started using hair vitamins 4 months after i started using rosemary oil. It's relatively inexpensive and it helped my hair so much.
That’s craZy . I guess mine is placebo effect lol I been using a mix of lavender , cedar wood, rosemary , with hemp seed oil and I have seen a significant decrease in hair loss … waiting for the hair growth though 😊😅
I like to use olive oil in my hair once a week in the winter. For dryness and scalp psoriasis. So far it's the best oil I have used for loosening up the build up. And it makes my hair very soft.
I have been using rosemary oil, lemon oil and vitamin e. I’ve only done this twice. Hopefully this will thicken my hair and make it healthier. In the past I have used olive oil which I thought worked great.
I am thankful for all you share Dr. Dray. I have had tiny bumps inside of which are tiny bristle like hairs they just don't go away. Tried Head and Shoulders Shampoo unfortunately after surgery I used a dry shampoo but however they got on my scalp I have developed a terrible habit of picking at them so I don't want to cause the hair loss. I just pray the rosemary oil will help. You send encouragement and I do so much appreciate all you share Andrea. I am grateful I found your videos and enjoy all your content.
My grandma grew up on a rural ranch in Mexico, she has very thick hair and told me they used to use lard in their hair. She’s 95. I’m sure the lard used back then is very different from the lard of today so I wouldn’t try it myself.
Someone is going to be extremely RICH when they can reverse and stop hair loss !!! It’s Amazing how they have created a vaccine for covid in 12 months yet never been able to stop hair loss 😬😬😬
Wow, what educational and understandable videos you are posting! I have a quick question. I ordered some rosemary oil and i just learned from this video that I should not just put it directly on my scalp. What could I dilute it with? How often should I apply it? My hair started getting thin in my 30s and I am now 71. I have been using minoxidle for many years.
What I love about Rosemary Oil is that it's DRY. I can put it in my hair at night and then wake up and style my hair like normal. I've been mixing it with rosewater but I'd love to mix it with a equally dry carrier oil if anyone has a recommendation...?
It's like attending a university's lecture; very informative and trustworthy. Being able to watch it online is a privilege.
Beautiful words ❤️ lovely comment.
Well put!

Just because a culture uses it for certain things doesn’t mean it actually works for certain things, sure coconut oil is good for the hair studies have already proved that however it doesn’t mean it actually helps with making hair grow or that it’s the best product for hair growth.
My honest hair growth journey: prioritize sleep, maintain scalp cleanliness, shampoo less and hydrate more, get regular trims, brush hair daily, and apply liitlllextrra serum of reactivate every day. It includes rosemary and other beneficial ingredients that consistently promote the growth of new baby hairs.
I've tried the wishcare serum in the past, but it didn't give results but this reaactivate growth serum is effective for me, and I can actually see my hair growing back.
it works, GUYS, it truly works! i've used a total of three bottles of the reactivatte serum and i m seeing an increase in hair density... this is amazing! thanks, thanks, thanks!
I mix rosemary, coconut, peppermint and castor oils and leave it in my hair 30 min before shower twice a week. I've noticed fuller hair and less hairloss. I also take hair vitamins. We should keep in mind that any treatment we do won't be an overnight cure. It takes at least 6 months to a year to see any result.

By far she is 1 of the BEST DOCTORS on here. I’ve followed her for years and it’s like having a good doctor on speed dial.
I started drinking juice from Indian gooseberry by mixing it with juice from aloe vera two times daily. Regularly trimming the hair also helps. Take care of your lifestyle. Use liitleextraa cocooionn hydrating shampoo and hair oil as both are known good for hair fall control. If you do this every day, you will results in just a few weeks.
This liitllextra coocconion hair oil has transformed the way I care for my hair. This product features a great herbs. The scent indicates it contains key ingredients like coconut, onion, rosemary, fenugreek. What's really great about this product is that it has significantly reduced my hairfall and now my hair is thicker than ever. This hairoil is a must have.

I started taking the pumpkin seed oil (1000 MG/day) and after about two months, I noticed my hair was growing pretty rapidly. I was taking biotin for a year, but I felt it wasn't doing much. I also added rosemary oil & water treatments to my routine. I would say the combination of the rosemary oil & water along with the pumpkin seed oil has worked well for me! While length is my main focus, I did notice I have double the baby hairs.
clarification: I was doing the rosemary oil before I started the pumpkin seed oil supplements.
to clarify, the pumpkin seed oil was taken orally?
@@bludarp152
Dr.Dray said the men in the Pumpkin seed oil test trial took 100mg 4 times a day. So it’s only 400 a day. You are 600 mg over and I guess it worked as well. Did you just then take one 1000 mg capsule a day? I am wondering though if Dr. Dray meant 1000. Because I can’t find it 100 mg.
@@mma.y yup!
@@ajsans9161 I take two 500 MG capsules, but you could take the oil via dropper in order to experiment with dosage
For many it’s not about hair growth. Our hair goes fast and long. It’s about thinning hair.

💓I want thick hair..Length is anyway that happens naturally &
inevitably! 😒😂
It's the Thinning I want to remove😒
Arnica. Topical and ingested. My dad took it during cancer treatment for pain and a side effect was thicker fuller hair. Rosemary oil did make his hair thicker, too. I believe it was CVS that carried an oil that was a castor and rosemary mix. I wish I could recall the brand. I would just double check the ingredients for purity and go with one from a store like that. Try the arnica. ❤
Pumpkin seed oil is delicious to use in a honey vinagrette salad dressing, instead of using olive oil. It adds new dimension to the taste. It is quite pricey, but you only need a tiny amount though, as it make you very "regular"!
Once it is opened it needs to be stored in the refrigerator, to maintain nutritional benefits. It is not to be heated, or used in cooking. Pumpkin seed oil is an intense green colour. I buy mine in an Indian grocers.

Ooh! I'll have to try this!
Hi, Nada-you just gave me another reason to buy some pumpkin oil! There are loads of Indian grocery stores where I live💕. Have a good evening!👍🏼💖

I looked into the pumpkin seed oil. The study used a particular brand of Korean supplement, Octa Sabal Plus, that uses not only pumpkin seed oil (23-28%) but a variety of ingredients, so it's hard to say if pure pumpkin seed oil would give the same results.
Octacosanol
Soybean extract (19-24%)
Mixed vegetable powder (20-25%)
Evening primrose powder (23-28%)
Corn silk extract (0.04 - 0.1%)
Red clover powder
Tomato powder
@@Make_AWish well that's some conflict of interest.
I mean we don't lose anything trying. Pumpkin seed oil is not as expensive as actual hair loss treatments, but for sure this detail makes me feel less inclined to trust tjr the phenomenal result...
I found this online regarding the Pumpkin seed study (Re Octa Saba Plus) and it seems scary - at least for men - if I’m reading this right…
“Product Information

Prostate is?
Prostate is male's organ which produce a part of semen and secrete.
This fluid is producing during sexual activity and merge with ejaculated semen.
If prostate get too big than normal, then you shall face with the problem of ejaculation.”
Dr Dray doesn’t mention that the Pumpkin Seed Oil Trial was done with a Korean brand called OctaSabel Plus. A $600+ supplement that contains several other ingredients: One capsule of Octa-Sabal Plus contains 100mg of pumpkin seed powder - not oil. Additionally, contains a proprietary blend of:
Octacosanols (derived from vegetable powder)
Gamma linolenic acid (derived from evening prim rose powder)
Polyphenols (derived from red clover powder)
Lycopene (derived from tomato powder)
Corn silk extract (from corn silk powder)
These ingredients aren’t just fillers. Just like pumpkin seed oil, they target the myriad triggers of pattern hair loss. So if your wondering why your pumpkin seen oil you purchased over the counter at GNC didn’t work, it is probably because it doesn’t contain these other additional ingredients. The study doesn’t mention how these other ingredients could have influenced the results
I make my own hair oils by infusing herbs into olive oil for a month or more, and then I dilute rosemary oil to 3-5% and applied to scalp twice a week. I’ve noticed that my hair became overall better, and grew more in quantity.
Eating eggs with avocado for breakfast and drinking a lot of water helped me grow my hair.
that sounds reasonable
Wonderful,,, I do the same..🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥

Thanks for watching
Teatree oil is extremely drying..and will cause irritation to some people is used directly on the skin..but is a good antibacterial for infections early on.
Coconut oil is good as a treatment for hair moisture..leave in for 1 hour after washing. Great information thank you..
I've had fantastic results with castor oil treatments applied to both my scalp and ends, though I absolutely believe it is so moisturizing that it just prevents breakage, my growth from the roots is the same or only slightly increased, but my hair fall is less, my scalp feels healthier, and I see less breakage, which absolutely makes it appear that the hair is growing faster. Thank you for sort of confirming my theory xx i am buying pumpkin seed oil capsules right now. I love your content. I came here because of Cassandra!!! Thank you for all you do 🥰
I can DEFINETLY say this works! I have hypothyroidism and was balding around my hairline , plus thinning hair all around.... I didnt think I could grow much less thicken my hair again.... After 4 months of taking 4 organic pumpkin seed oil capsules a day, and making my own rosemary oil to use topically (organic rosemary, organic olive oil, organic nettle powder, black jamaican castor oil, and organic pumpkin seed oil mixed) , PLUS my DIY rosemary water to spray before adding the oil to my hair, my hairline is growing back significantly and hair is thickening 🙌🏾💖🙌🏾 *For extra credit, I also drink nettle tea*

@Yamina Lea How often do you apply the oil? And do you leave overnight/all day or just a few hours? Thanks so much! =)
As an Indian gal, we grew up using coconut oil, castor oil and fenugreek seeds ground into a paste (applied as hair mask) regularly. I stopped doing it a while ago and I doubt it does anything really. However my mom and plenty of others swear by it. I honestly feel this has more to do with genes though 🤷🏽♀️
I also grew up using coconut oil! I think it's particularly helpful when applied before shampooing--cuts down on frizzies for me!
From what I've seen, coconut oil doesn't help at the follicle but helps moisturize and protect the actual hair strands. Castor oil is supposed to help actual growth. But of course I don't know if much actual research has been done so who knows lol. I agree genetics plays a big part
Same as a Caribbean, my grandma made me put castor oil, fenugreek and coconut oil in my hair as a treatment. It stunk 😑
@@bdh711 It really does!
Am using coconut as prepoo, can I use fenugreek paste together with avocado for deep conditioning?
Thank you for saying that more studies are needed for rosemary oil. It's blown up on social media/haircare products after ONE study with a small sample size in ONE type of hair loss using a very specific dose
Dr.Dray is the only person I can listen to explain the scientific reasons for things without losing interest.😊
Pumpkin seed oil blocks DHT, which causes hair loss. It is more effective to drink 1 small spoon every day.👍👌
Have you tried this?
So why is it made for hair growth:/
@@letyourlightshine2727 because it blocks the hair thinning hormone, called DHT? So it prevents hair from thinning and falling out. So it’s scientifically proven good for hair growth
On my mom's side of the family, many of the women lost their hair. I am now 55 and started having hair thinning in my mid/late 20s, but now it's much worse due to menopause. I do have too much androstenedione (male hormone). I know some don't like having to put stuff on your scalp, but I started using 8 drops of rosemary essential oil mixed with a little olive oil (the EVOO is a "carrier oil") every night on April 20, 2022. Rosemary oil has been studied and is as effective, without the side effects, as Minoxidil. I put a thin plastic shower cap over my oiled head at night. Anyway, I was looking at my scalp this morning, and I have tons of little baby hairs coming in where my temples have lost a lot of hair and all along the front of my hairline. I think it's working! They say it takes 6 months to really be able to see good new growth, but I have a glimmer of hope.
I was on Spironolactone LONG ago and the side effects were so bad I quit it.
How is it going now? I use rosemary mint and clove oils in flax seed carrier. Seems to help with hair not falling out as much. Also great for itchy scalp
@@Atheria444 I thought spironolactone mk hair grow. What were the side effects. thanks
Where do you get Rosemary Oil? I appreciate it!
@@jingwills6267 in stores or websites that sell health products. Some big chain stores also sell them, I know I've seen oils at Meijer. Even the lower price brand works well for me, I use Now Foods.
I use a mixture of coconut oil and castor oil (as the carrier oils) and then put in a few drops of rosemary essential oil - massage into my scald and wrap my hair in a towel and leave it on for about an hour or so. Then shampoo and style as usual. I have no evidence that it's helping me grow any hair, HOWEVER, my hair feels awesome and is in better general health than it was before.
I have been making my own rosemary oil since they grow abundantly around yard. Also make rice water which is also easy to make. I use both on hair & scalp. I also use dermaroller just where hair is thin. Not rolling but just pressing the roller so I wouldn't incure breakage. Rosemary you can just mix that with water in a spray bottle and spray on scalp, then dry as normal. I like making my own rosemary straight from the plant because I know exactly what I'm getting.
Have you noticed any difference with this? Like have you started to get baby hairs in the thinning regions?
how do you make your own rosemary oil?
@ Carol Bieman
How do you make your own rosemary oil etc? 🙏
Wondering also how you make it? Do you just blend it with water, then strain it? If so, I imagine a preservative is needed?
@T.R. MCT I just mix about a qtr cup rosemary into 1 cup water into a glass jar (i just use like a old glass jelly jar with a lid). Then I sit that jar near a windowsill or wherever sun is coming into my house. I leave it, sitting for a couple weeks on the windowsill sill.
Yes, then you can strain it, pouring all the liquid into a small bottle. I use an old hair oil bottle that has a twist top and open it up just enough to trickle all over my scalp. I apply to scalp 2-3 times per week.
At the start of the pandemic I wanted to oil my scalp with lavender and I legit grabbed an ESSENTIAL OIL and blended way too many drops into a carrier oil and massaged. My hair fell out from the lavender oil plus the overdoing of the massage. Please do your research and NEVER use essential oils without proper instructions. They are irritant, concentrated and many times artificial. Glad my scalp is back to normal now 😂 now I just oil my scalp without massage and with almond oil, a game changer
I'm sorry that happened to you but you said it yourself that you did not dilute it enough and over massaged/rubbed your scalp too much. Essential oils are safe and effective if used properly and yield beneficial results
@@shelby6 most definitely. I had no idea what I was doing!
Oil is never responsible for hair loss, it’s about how you look after your hair to prevent oiliness, dryness and friction
This reminds me of when I was 18 and straight up put tea tree on my scalp. No joke but my scalp started sizzling. Thank God for Dr. Dray
Same here whenever I massage my hair after oiling my hair fall out. But if i use oil without massaging my hair doesn’t fall and yeah i love almond and amla oil
If you have fine hair, olive oil can be difficult to wash out of your hair, making it look oily, even after several shampoos. You would never use an essential oil like Rosemary or Clary Sage directly on your skin/ scalp; but always with a carrier oil like castor, almond or coconut oil. Studies are limited on natural treatments because a prescription can't be written for them so the monetary incentive isn't there.
You have to put the oil a day before washing,and only on the scalp
@@EspadasYCopas I did put it only on the scalp and if I put it on a day beforehand, I wouldn't be able to go out of the house unless I covered up my head. I repeat, with fine hair, olive oil can be difficult to wash out.
Thank you. That was my experience. When I finally was able to wash off the olive oil, my hair felt stripped and dryer. I’m going to try emu oil with black pepper essential oil.
So combine Rosemary with Castor, Almond, or Coconut oil?? I have fine and dry hair as well so was curious of what you would recommend?
@@uanonymous1090 hi, i have super fine hair and I combine almond oil with a few drops of rosemary oil! I also love onion oil for my hair. I usually leave it overnight, two night a week.
Jamaican black castor oil and Blackseed oil!!! These are the best! 🤩 Us natural curlies swear by them! 🥳 Do scalp massages and watch what happens! 😉
@@inspiregrowth9022 I believe the brand Shea Moisture has a whole line using those ingredients!
100%
@@inspiregrowth9022 just get any organic one and make sure the only ingredient is the oil 100% pure
Can I ask if you apply and massage your scalp after or before shower?
@@inspiregrowth9022 I do the 100%/Organic /Handcraft brand
I use two hair oils which are made up of all that good stuff, olive, argan, rosemary, castor etc.. Rahua's and French Girl's hair oils are awesome. I use them once a week and leave them overnight. Great for my hyper sensitive scalp. 👍🏻❤
Does it help in hair growth?
I tried using coconut oil mix 5 drops of rosemary oil, massage it on my scalp. I leave it on overnight and it helps with excessive hair fall.
Do you mind sharing the mixing ratio? The common recommendation is 5 drops of rosemary but some say mix with a teaspoon of carrier oil while others say a tablespoon of carrier oil. Curious which is actually correct.
I dilute rosemary, lavender and cedarwood essential oil in aloe vera and apply every night. It reduces gray hair and promotes hair growth. I have fine hair in general but it works for me and keeps my hair from breakage, is more shiney and is stronger.
Do you use Aloe Vera gel or juice? I want to try it with Aloe Vera, I imagine it'll be easier to use.. not as greasy as oil. Which brand do you use? Thanks!
@@dianecalnan8286 I use gel but apply it at night and wash in the morning and yes way less greasy. I use Amara beauty aloe gel. The essential oils are so important too be diluted so this really works for gray and breakage
Do you have a ratio of amount approximately of each oil you use? Thank you soo much
Cutting out gluten and cows milk helped me get thicker hair and clearer skin. i think it’s because of large companies in USA using hormones in cows& feeding them garbage and using engineered grain seeds/plants for wheat (they dont even soak the wheat 10 hours like other countries do so in the end you get a lot more gluten in the wheat flour compared to other countries like france for eg) these two main food groups are known to cause inlamation in the body and this inlamation shows up differently …
My sister gets eczema and her flare ups also went away when shes eating this way.
Once in a while we eat icecream and the next day i notice a pimple and she gets a flare up.
For me personally, coconut oil helps in frizziness and makes hair soft.

I have been using 100% pure castor oil on my hair for long time, months. I use it on 2 spots, one on each side of forehead. I have always had thin baby hairs in those spots but when I started using castor oil, after some time I noticed those hairs were growing longer. I rub it on and leave for at least 12 hrs and then wash hair. Since I wash hair twice a week I will use oil on the 2 days I wash hair and just wear a headband to cover oily look. My hair has definitely grown longer and am able to pull those hairs back now with the rest.
Amanda so you do have regrowth?
I'm very confused now. Dr Dray said that the use of castor oil is bad hair growth advice and that it has nothing to with stimulating it. It's in her „Worst skin care advice” video.

@@AnaboliKitchen I know it seems confusing because I'm saying opposite as Dr Dray. I was thrown off as well when I heard her talk about how it didn't help, when clearly I have had good benefits from it. I love Dr Dray, but I've noticed 2 things she has said that are contradictory to my experience and one is the castor oil and another is what she says about rose water. Rose water says it helps with inflammation, but Dray says there's no proof of that. I have bought rosewater spray before for the face and sprayed it on my face at night, which has acne, and next morning my skin is not as red and acne is tad bit better. So I personally like it. Plus I've had my boyfriend spray it on his face after he shaves, especially in hot weather, and his skin is not as irritated.

@@DrDrayzday Ive never started Finasteride dosing bc of the libido side-effect fear, but Ive racked my brain to try & understand why/how it could happen. My understanding (which could be wrong) is that mens libido can deteriorate as we get older bc our estrogen levels rise, which in turn lower our testosterone levels, thereby lowering our sex drive. BUT, if the MOA behind Finasteride is to block the conversion of our testosterone to DHT (which stunts the hair growth in the follicle), wouldnt that mean we have more testosterone in our systems and thereby less estrogen? If there is less T being converted to DHT, then we should have more T in our bodies, thereby less estrogen & more sex drive. No?
I have androgenic alopecia and in the past mixed rosemary oil mixed with aloe gel. I had good results with that. Then I was diagnosed with fragrance contact allergies.

I've all the oils you mentioned. Now I use peppermint oil, tea tree oil, rosemary oil, argan oil, pumpkin seed oil, carrot seed oil, castor oil, jbco, coffee, fenugreek, cloves, parsley, onion oil, onion water, rice water, aloe vera, all have helped with my hair growth
Which rosemary oil do you use? Where do you purchase it?

Your videos are great and so helpful. Whenever I see your thumbnails when I search for something, I click there first. Thank you so much.
I absolutely love her channel because she's packed so much info into her videos and I love being able to come to her channel for all types of valuable information. Thanks for this one I needed this
Same!
Same !!
Horsetail is a source of silica and is often found in supplements for hair and nails. I have been using a bamboo sourced silica supplement for my thinning hair with very good results. If I remember correctly, horsetail can be hard on the kidnefys over time.
Horsetail also can cause heart palpitations. It doesn’t necessarily but if you’re taking a supplement with Horsetail in it and your heart is fluttering that can be the reason.
Horsetail also contains slight amounts of nicotine and it lowers levels of b1 so you need to supplement with that as well when taking horsetail.
I would be careful with that! BioSil would be a better source for silica ingestion as it’s micronized specifically for better absorption
Castor oil. Is by far. The best thing to happen to my psoriasis. I put it on my scalp for a few hours before I wash my hair. It also stopped my hair from falling out.
My hairs falling out in clumps since my second pfizer vaccine. I’m fucking livid and sick everyday. Was normal before.
You can find db groups with other people that were affected too. Also on mewe app or telegram people are helping other people combat the affects jab
I’m using Neem Oil at the moment. It’s summertime here and I attract insects more than I do men 🤔 I used only a little to rub into scalp, leaving it overnight. Maybe need a couple of washes but it’s ok. Also I added some Neem to the dregs in an old shampoo bottle and topped it up with Rice Water, which is very simple to make, thickens hair and prevents hair loss !! Thank you for your very educational videos ❤️
Thank You Dr. Dray! I’m going to try the pumpkin seed oil supplements and also try the rosemary oil topically. *Everything that you share is absolutely amazing and I always feel so thankful and grateful for you, I have been watching you for years and you are honest, real and genuine as well as impeccable and trustworthy. Watching your videos I feel as if I am sitting there with you and talking. Thank You for all that you do and share 💜☮️🙏🏼✨🌻
How do u apply the rosemary oil? Which carrier oil to use
@@AmarSingh-uc7px Nothing scientific, yet it feels really healthy! I grow rosemary plants in my yard. If you don’t have any fresh rosemary, look in the produce section of your grocery store, as I often see fresh rosemary plants there. After cutting many sprigs of the rosemary, I put the fresh sprigs in a clean canning jar and then filled the jar with olive oil and cap it closed. I keep this in the refrigerator. It’s really starting to smell wonderful and the oil is getting a bit darker from the rosemary. I massage the rosemary infused oil into my scalp. The olive oil feels good, but it is a *little difficult to wash it out. Whether or not it is helping my hair to grow, its too soon to tell. However, I *feel like it is helping. I hope that this is helpful 🌻
@Shelly S thanks for actually replying!
@@AmarSingh-uc7px you can also put some drops of the oil in your conditioner
Hey Shelly S it’s been 7 months just wondering if you kept up with it and what your results were :)
Yes black Jamaican oil does make hair grow! My hair grew crazy in very little time! I added to scalp and rest of hair for like 4 hours . Then washed hair.
hallelujah, my favorite subject hair growth. hopefully there will be more research on the effectiveness of oils for regrowth hair thank you dr Dray for this video i've been waiting for.
What is your hair care routine?
I have lupus and excess bile in my skin after gallbladder removal surgery. It’s a struggle finding anything to keep my hair in my head. Ain’t no picnic being me. Thanks for your realistic reporting 🥰
Hi Dr. Dre, I tried acne patches for the first time thanks to your video about them, and I really like them. I was surprised at how much I like them, and how much bacteria they can grab, as well as flatten out the bump.
Dr.dre 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
@@Este730 what's the big deal?
Gooseberry, Amlia oil, has been used in India for century's to enhance hair growth.
Hey,
My opinion about let me say about Black castor oil etc is that they are good for afro American hair
It doesn't make the hair grow, but it makes the hair more softner then any other oils.
It's more that Afro American hair and scalp are more dryer
So there fore next to hydrate the hair , its need a lot of moisture for lock it in, such as oils.
There for this sort of hair oils are more for prevent breaking / dryness of the hair .
Also you have les pulling of the hair , because of the oils.
So again to use oils on afro american hair is more to prevent your hair for damaging.
And not forget for moisturising your scalp.
And tru those technique and oils , your hair can grow healthy and faster .
About coconut oil I heard about that, but it can also be to much for people sometimes whatever hairtype they have..
Okay that was just my opinion, love your channel 😘👍
You are just so honest and thorough in your explanations. One doc I can trust. Thank you a millon. XXX
your videos help me with my picking problems so much! thanks for giving me hope for healthier skin and hair
Very nice video! And a scientific-based video! That's the most important part! Not just some more random information... Thank you so much!!
EXACTLY what I needed!
Is the pumpkin seed oil affective for women as well?
only men were included in the study, but seems logical that it would help women as well
I use Pumkin seed oil and rosemary oil and rosehip oil for my hair..thank you much..God Bless you 🙏🏽 😘 ❤
I do not speak English. What oils did the doctor recommend and how to apply them?
Howdy Dr. Dray, What was the dilution factor in the study?
D=.6g/ml undiluted rosemary
45% 1/8-cineol in undiluted rosemary
target dilution density= 3.7mg/ml
I got 65x which seems super high but i guess would yield a 1.5% solution of rosemary oil diluted in carrier. Have I made a mistake in the assumptions or math, or am I correct?
If anyone else has the answer please share.
Well I’ve been using Minoxidil and Rosemary oil for over Six months now and I have just started to get results. I have actually stopped wearing a hat every where I go because my hair is starting to fill in. Im gonna keep it up.
Oh And after using a whole one ounce bottle of rosemary oil I read on the bottle that I’m supposed to mix it with a carrier oil. I didn’t do that. I also changed my shampoo and conditioners to non sulfate type.
I love how informative and thorough these videos are. There is so much knowledge and professionalism, thank you! You’ve helped my skin so much!
Love your video and love how thorough you are at explaining the products.
I just made some rosemary oil yesterday! I used fresh Rosemary mixed it with olive oil and used a double boiler and let simmer for 30 minutes and then strained it leaving just the oil. Would this method be effective to help with hair growth?
I have seen some UA-camrs used fresh Rosemary. Since dr. Dre says to make certain you have genuine rosemary oil I guess the only way to be certain other than buying the one from the research would be to make your own rosemary oil. I just don't know how you would know how much Rosemary is in the oil, the olive oil. I'm just trying Rosemary essential oil and mixing a few drops with every tablespoon of jojoba oil.
Just make rosemary tea and drink it daily
@@denik9614 well that's a thought. What does it taste like?
Even I made that oil but my hair s falling like crazy may b I guess olive oil not suiting my hair
@@nainatewari4246 maybe try making it with Squalane oil or Coconut oil.
Due to covid and my depression worsening, i started losing a lot of hair. Like literal clumps. Feeling like shit, i started using a mix rosemary and argan oil on my scalp and leaving it in for about an hour before washing my hair, and it worked for me! I started seeing noticeable results after 6 months, and after about 8 months my family started to notice the hair regrowth as well. I also started using hair vitamins 4 months after i started using rosemary oil. It's relatively inexpensive and it helped my hair so much.
Which hair vitamina did you use???
@@badassguy9856 I'm using Solgar skin, hair and nails vitamins alongside rosemary oil. :)
do you mix rosemary oil with any other oil or use it directly?
@natasakrpina160 did you notice hair loss in the beginning?
That’s craZy . I guess mine is placebo effect lol I been using a mix of lavender , cedar wood, rosemary , with hemp seed oil and I have seen a significant decrease in hair loss … waiting for the hair growth though 😊😅
I like to use olive oil in my hair once a week in the winter. For dryness and scalp psoriasis. So far it's the best oil I have used for loosening up the build up. And it makes my hair very soft.
Thanks Dr Dray for all the information on the different oils. I like coconut oil the night before a hair wash. Take care.
I have been using rosemary oil, lemon oil and vitamin e. I’ve only done this twice. Hopefully this will thicken my hair and make it healthier. In the past I have used olive oil which I thought worked great.
You should dilute those too strong oils with carrier and moisturizing oils like olive oil, and avocado oil.
Thank you Dr. Dray!
What about the aloe Vera plant? I have heard a lot of talk about how it helps hair growth? Would love to hear you talk about this.
I have Chronic Leukemia and autoimmunes. I’ve been taking pumpkin seed oil for 6 months. I do have some new hair regrowing but shedding has stopped.
I am thankful for all you share Dr. Dray. I have had tiny bumps inside of which are tiny bristle like hairs they just don't go away. Tried Head and Shoulders Shampoo unfortunately after surgery I used a dry shampoo but however they got on my scalp I have developed a terrible habit of picking at them so I don't want to cause the hair loss. I just pray the rosemary oil will help. You send encouragement and I do so much appreciate all you share Andrea. I am grateful I found your videos and enjoy all your content.
My grandma grew up on a rural ranch in Mexico, she has very thick hair and told me they used to use lard in their hair. She’s 95. I’m sure the lard used back then is very different from the lard of today so I wouldn’t try it myself.
Someone is going to be extremely RICH when they can reverse and stop hair loss !!! It’s Amazing how they have created a vaccine for covid in 12 months yet never been able to stop hair loss 😬😬😬
Personally, Amla oil is the way to go 🥰
Wow, what educational and understandable videos you are posting! I have a quick question. I ordered some rosemary oil and i just learned from this video that I should not just put it directly on my scalp. What could I dilute it with? How often should I apply it? My hair started getting thin in my 30s and I am now 71. I have been using minoxidle for many years.
Of its a rosemary essential oil dilute with a carrier oil like olive oil, almond, avocado, pumpkin, argan grapeseed, jojoba oil, etc
Why to use rosemary essential oil if u hv option to get frend msg rosemary leaves
I tried Argan oil and Castor oil they did work. now I'm trying Rosemary rinse
I mix a couple drops of rosemary essential oil with my scalp conditioning mask once a week and it works
Thank you for researching & let us know. You are really truly a good person to share you knowldge & study for us.
What I love about Rosemary Oil is that it's DRY. I can put it in my hair at night and then wake up and style my hair like normal. I've been mixing it with rosewater but I'd love to mix it with a equally dry carrier oil if anyone has a recommendation...?
Was wondering the same question..
Almond oil
Grapseed oil..
Moisturizing oils like avocado, and olive oil would work great ..
I use olive oil for my scalp psoriasis. It works amazing.
