My recipe for the strongest rosemary spray will grow longer, thicker hair – but a common mistake makes it less potent
KNOWING how popular rosemary is for hair growth, a beauty expert revealed the right way to make it.
The way most of us do it means it’s losing its power.
Adina Yaffa (@adinayaffa) is a health, beauty, and skin aficionado who often shares her dos and don’ts on TikTok.
In a recent video, she revealed “how to make the strongest rosemary clove water for hair growth.”
Step one: “Stop boiling your rosemary leaves for your hair growth spray if you want long hair.”
While many recipes call for the rosemary leaves to be boiling hot, she said there’s a reason why that’s not the best idea.
“You’re losing key ingredients by boiling. To see massive hair growth, do this instead.”
She advised buying fresh, organic rosemary for the best results.
Begin by putting them into a mason jar.
“And I like to enhance my rosemary water with some cloves. This can be fresh cloves, or you can actually use some organic ground cloves,” she said, tossing in a handful of chopped ones and a spoonful of ground ones.
“Fresh rosemary and cloves have been proven to have amazing benefits for rapid hair growth.”
The next step is where most people get it wrong.
“Instead of using boiling water, you’re actually going to be doing an infusion,” she said, later adding that her method will preserve essential oils and nutrients within the herb.
“You’re going to be only warming your water until right before it’s about to boil, let it cool down to warm, and then add this to your glass mason jar.”
Adina likes to let her infusion sit overnight, though she noted that a few hours will get the job done.
“You can tell by the dark rich color that it is so potent.”
After straining the rosemary clove water, she poured the water into ice trays so that she could freeze it and store for future uses, rather than waste.
When you’re ready to use, simply take out two or three cubes, add warm water to let them melt, and transfer to a spray bottle.
To use, Adina recommends spraying the roots of your hair first.
“I really focus on that before hitting the ends. And then I like to give myself a nice massage,” she said, getting it all in there.
“If you want to grow longer, thicker, and fuller hair, you need rosemary clove water.”
Viewers loved her ideas.
“That is so smart! I wasted so much of that rosemary water because it went bad,” one wrote.
“Definitely doing this,” added another.
