Natural hydrosols are powerful allies in stimulating hair growth and combating hair loss.
Rosemary, peppermint, and lavender hydrosols promote blood circulation in the scalp, tone and strengthen the hair fiber.
Used daily as a spray, mask, or toning lotion, they offer visible results in 4-6 weeks with no side effects. Discover how to choose the right hydrosol for your hair type and prepare your own treatments for natural, lasting growth.
Why does hair growth slow down?
The main causes of slow growth
Hair growth depends on several interconnected factors. Understanding these causes is essential for choosing the right natural treatment.
1️⃣ Poor blood circulation in the scalp
Blood circulation in the scalp is essential for nourishing hair follicles. Poor circulation means that nutrients do not reach the hair roots effectively.
Consequences:
- Tired and dull hair
- Slowing of growth
- Increased hair loss
- Less toned scalp
Causes of poor circulation:
- Stress and muscle tension
- Lack of physical activity
- Unbalanced diet
- Harsh hair products
- Pollution and residues
2️⃣ Clogged and irritated scalp
A scalp clogged with product residue, pollution, and sebum slows down natural hair growth.
Signs of a congested scalp:
- Itching and irritation
- Visible dandruff
- Oily hair at the roots
- Feeling of discomfort
- Dull, lifeless hair
3️⃣ Weakened hair fiber
Weakened hair fibers break easily, creating the illusion of slower growth.
Signs of weakened fiber:
- Brittle and fragile hair
- Split ends
- Lack of flexibility
- Dry and coarse hair
- Loss of shine
4️⃣ Imbalance in the scalp microbiome
The scalp has its own microbiome (skin flora). An imbalance slows down growth and promotes hair problems.
Consequences of imbalance:
- Irritated and sensitive scalp
- Excessive sebum production
- Dandruff and itching
- Slowing of growth
- Increased hair loss
How hydrosols help stimulate growth
Natural hydrosols act on all these factors simultaneously to stimulate hair growth in a sustainable way.
Actions of hydrosols:
- ✅ Promotes blood circulation in the scalp
- ✅ Tones and revitalizes the scalp
- ✅ Deeply purify and cleanse
- ✅ Strengthen hair fibers
