DIY natural haircare 🧴 #shorts

Rosemary has long been prized for its ability to stimulate hair growth, and it’s often used in hair care routines, from shampoo to scalp treatments, as a natural haircare solution that promotes strong, shiny, and healthy hair.

Of course, rosemary isn’t a magic cure for long, lush hair, but it definitely helps! I made that funny sketch because so many people act like it’s the ultimate fix, showing off their hair as if all they did was use rosemary 😂

Rosemary Infused Oil

1. Place 300ml almond oil (or olive, jojoba, grapeseed) into a heat-safe bowl or jar.
2. Add 1 cup fresh rosemary (or ½ cup dried rosemary).
3. Set up a double boiler (bowl/jar sitting over simmering water).
4. Heat gently on low for 2–3 hours, stirring every so often.
5. Strain the oil very well using cheesecloth or a fine strainer.

Make the Hair soap 🧴🌿🍊

In a clean bowl, combine:
* 500 ml liquid Marseille (Castile) soap base
* 20 ml rosemary-infused oil
* 20 ml vegetable glycerin (locks in moisture + helps blend the oil)
* 5 drops orange essential oil (optional, for scent & shine)
Mix slowly until uniform, then pour into a pump bottle.

⚠️ Storage note:

* Fresh rosemary infusion contains water → higher chance of spoilage. Store in the fridge up to 2–3 months or freeze in small cubes for longer use.
* Once you mix the infused oil into the liquid soap, the soap itself helps preserve it (because of its high pH and no “free water” for bacteria to thrive in).
* Dried rosemary infusion is more stable → lasts 6–12 months in a cool, dark place.
* If you notice changes in smell, color, or texture → discard.
