Rosemary oil has a reputation on social media as a natural stand-in for minoxidil. The hard evidence behind that consists of a single randomised trial: in 2015, Panahi and colleagues compared a rosemary oil lotion with a 2% minoxidil solution in 100 men with hereditary pattern hair loss and found more hairs in both groups after six months, but no significant difference between them. That trial had no placebo arm, ran in men only and has still not been independently repeated, which makes rosemary oil a signal worth taking seriously rather than a proven substitute for treatment.<\/strong> This article first sorts out which kinds of hair loss rosemary oil is even a candidate for, and then shows exactly how to dilute it, apply it and dose it safely.<\/p>\n
