Rosehip oil for hair
Rosehip oil benefits for hair and scalp
Overall, rosehip oil is said to have a number of benefits. Among these include:

healthy fatty acids, such as linoleic and oleic acids
antioxidants, such as lycopene and vitamin C, which can help fight free radicals, boost collagen, and moisturize the skin
vitamin A, a known fighter against acne, wrinkles, and sun damage
anti-inflammatories, such as polyphenols and vitamin E
But it’s important to know that more research is needed to test these theories.

Rosehip oil for scalp
It’s thought that some of the properties in rosehip oil may translate to scalp health, too. In turn, a healthier scalp may promote healthier hair.

One study on rosehip powder for the face suggests it has moisturizing effects. This may translate to the scalp, but more research is needed.

Rosehip oil for inflammatory scalp conditions
Rosehip oil might help certain inflammatory conditions of the scalp. Another study looked at rosehip powder’s potential pain-relieving qualities for osteoarthritis. It found that rosehip powder can reduce inflammation and pain.

This might translate to rosehip oil being able to treat painful inflammatory skin conditions, like dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, and rosacea, but more research is needed.

If you have a skin condition that’s causing you pain, visit a doctor for treatment, and discuss trying rosehip oil as a complementary therapy.

Rosehip oil for hair growth
As a rule of thumb, hair growth depends on healthy roots. Certain properties in rosehip oil might help increase the strength of your hair, thereby promoting overall growth. These properties include fatty acids, lycopene, and vitamin C.

Rosehip oil side effects
It’s important to distinguish between rosehip essential oil and traditional oils made from extracts.

Unlike essential oils, rosehip extract doesn’t need to be diluted with a carrier oil. In fact, some people use rosehip oil extract as a carrier oil for their essential oils.

However, it’s still a good idea to patch test a small amount of rosehip on another area of skin before applying liberally to your scalp.

If using an essential oil, dilute with a carrier oil first. Then, apply the oil to the inside of your elbow, and wait for 24 hours to see whether any allergic reactions develop.

While allergic reactions to rosehip oil aren’t common, there are some symptoms to be on the lookout for:

itchy skin
redness or hives
skin rash
crusty skin (or scalp)
Also take care not to get the rosehip oil in your eyes. You can avoid this by using a shower cap when using the oil as a mask, and by carefully rinsing it all out in the shower.

Rosehip oil is meant for topical use only. This is also the case with hair and scalp treatments. Never take the oil by mouth.

Check with your doctor before using rosehip oil. Even topical applications could interfere with medications you take, as well as any preexisting health conditions you might have.

How to use rosehip oil for hair
You can use rosehip oil on your hair and scalp as either a mask or spot treatment. Be sure to do a patch test ahead of time to reduce the risk of any negative reactions.

How to make a rosehip oil hair mask
You may apply rosehip oil directly to your hair. Some people prefer warming the oil beforehand, but be sure to test it before applying to make sure it’s not hot.

Massage the oil throughout your hair, making sure that you cover each strand. Place a shower cap over your hair, and leave it on for up to 30 minutes. Thoroughly rinse out the oil before shampooing and conditioning.

While you can use rosehip oil as a mask on its own, you can also experiment with other moisturizing oils. Coconut and diluted lavender oil are just a few options you can use.

Spot treatment for scalp
If treating dryness, dandruff, or an inflammatory skin condition, you can directly apply rosehip oil to your scalp as a spot treatment. Massage the oil into your scalp, and then slip on a shower cap. Rinse and shampoo after 20 to 30 minutes.

Is rosehip oil non-comedogenic?
Yes! Not only is rosehip oil for skin is non-comedogenic (which basically means it won’t clog pores), it rates a one or two on the non-comedogenic scale which means your pores have nothing to worry about.

As with any natural products, we always recommend a patch test 48 hours before use. If irritation occurs, please discontinue use.

Store in a cool dry dark area. This oil should not be exposed to sunlight or stored in the shower or bathroom areas.
