My hair was falling out – it was undermining my confidence, but a £6 Boots purchase saved me
A cash-savvy beauty enthusiast has revealed a bargain that has helped her cure her hair loss and stopped her brunette locks from thinning.
On average, we lose 50 to 100 hairs per day, but we usually don’t notice this, because the hairs are usually replaced by new hairs.
However, hair loss is a completely different matter and can be very annoying and have a negative impact on your self-confidence.
There are as many reasons why you might be suffering from hair loss as there are products to address it. But with so many options on the market, it can be hard to find the right one.
Luckily, beauty fanatic Victoria Underwood has come to the rescue with a miracle cure. It saves her locks and you can pick it up for just £6 at your local Boots.
The secret bargain behind the epic hair makeover is none other than the viral rosemary oil that everyone seems to be talking about these days.
It is claimed to promote hair growth and people are using the natural oil, which has become an online sensation, to restore their hair after hair loss.
This budget-friendly beauty buy ”can support blood circulation, which can cause hair follicles to become deprived of blood, die and lose hair”, reported Healthline.
Some beauty enthusiasts use the essential oil not only to stimulate hair growth, but also to prevent premature graying and tackle dandruff.
According to research by Trusted Sourcethe TikTok-hyped sensation “may benefit nerve tissue by increasing nerve growth factor” — which in turn can promote hair growth and skin health.
Victoria raved about the handbag-friendly treatment, telling her TikTok followers: “Rosemary oil! I have been struggling with hair loss and thinning hair for so long and it has really taken a toll on my confidence. This product has changed my life and my hair!”
“Rosemary oil has doubled the thickness of my hair!”
Showing how she uses the oil – Boots Rosemary Oil 48ml costs £6 – the brunette beauty says she only applies it once a week, when she washes her hair.
Victoria applied the oil to dry hair before showering. She separated her locks into smaller sections and dripped a few drops of the product directly onto her scalp.
The processing time varies – sometimes it can be as short as 20 minutes, but other times Victoria lets it work for a few hours, she explained in the video.
After first purchasing the product in January 2022, the young woman — who said she had suffered from hair loss since she was a teenager — used it “once or twice” before forgetting about the essential oil.
Can rosemary oil treat hair loss?
It’s all the rage on social media: Can rosemary oil really treat hair loss?
According to Health Line“The idea that rosemary oil promotes hair growth may stem from the fundamental health benefits of rosemary.”
Rosemary essential oil contains components that:
- have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties
- support of wound healing
- promote nerve growth
- improve blood circulation.
Research suggests that rosemary essential oil may support hair growth in some people.
But despite all the hype, more research is still needed to substantiate this further and determine in which cases it is and is not effective.
But everything changed when a video appeared on her timeline in which someone showed the astonishing difference in the thickness of her hair. Victoria decided to try it again – this time the right way.
“The problem with rosemary oil is that you have to use it consistently. You can’t use it once a month, you have to do it regularly.”
In addition to strictly following the rosemary oil routine, the beauty fanatic also loves to massage her scalp. This is a great way to stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles.
”I take my hair growth journey very seriously and I’m so committed to it now that I’ve already seen some amazing results.
”Because thin hair, bald spots and hair loss make you so insecure.
“I can’t wait to see where my hair is in six months,” Victoria said, advising against using the treatment with extensions because the oil can damage the adhesive.
”I used to have to get two thick rows of hair extensions. The last time I went to the hairdresser, my hairdresser and I agreed that I only needed one row of extensions because my hair had gotten a lot thicker.
“I hereby swear – […] and if you are suffering from hair loss and it is affecting you, just try it.”
