Rose Water Benefits For Hair Care

Rosewater or more often known as ‘Gulab Jal’ is a by-product of the production of rose oil. It is one of well known ingredients used in perfumes, cosmetics, food and also medication preparations.

Rosewater is a natural product with an anti-inflammatory, softening and anti-allergic action. This precious elixir effectively tones and soothes skin while cleansing.

Though rose water is famous for its therapeutic benefits, it has always been associated with skin-care regimens. Rosewater however has huge potential and we would be underestimating its importance in the world of beauty if we restrict its scope to treatment of skin problems only.

Hair Quality and Strength

For improving the hair quality, rose water can be applied on the hair, just like any oil. Simply make a mixture of glycerin and rose water in equal quantities and then apply it on your scalp. With your fingertips, massage your scalp gently. Leave the mixture on your hair for about half an hour and then wash off with a mild shampoo. This home remedy will nourish, moisturize and strengthen your hair, if undertaken once every week, for four to five months.

Conditioning and Moisturizing

There are a number of ways in which rose water can be used on hair. As it is believed to have conditioning and moisturizing properties, simply mix a small amount in your regular shampoo and wash the hair as usual. This would make your hair soft, shiny and smelling great. Besides being a good hair moisturizer, the soft, lingering smell of rose, that comes from the hair, will keep you refreshed throughout the day.

Hair Growth

Although, there is no scientific evidence backing it, yet, it is said that rose water promotes hair growth. Simply shampoo the hair as usual and after that, pour half a cup of rose water on your head. This will increase the supply of blood to your scalp, which in turn strengthens and nourishes the hair follicles and thus increases the hair growth. For those who are suffering from any kind of inflammations on the scalp, this is an excellent remedy, as rose water is known to possess therapeutic and healing properties as well.
