Hair loss is a nightmare – literally. We do not know of anyone who would be comfortable having a full head of hair one day and have chunks of the same hair falling off the next day.
If you are undergoing this dreadful experience, we have a remedy for you; Rosehip oil.
This is derived from the hips and seeds of rose bushes.
No idea what that is? We are talking about the part of the plant that remains after the rose blooms that looks like a berry.

How to use Rosehip Oil for Hair: The Benefits
Before we share the how-to guides with you, rosehip oil comes with a host of benefits especially for managing hair loss. Some of them are:
*This oil is easily absorbed into the scalp thus moisturizing and softening it for better hair growth.
*Our hair is exposed to numerous things such as pollution, stress, and other environmental factors that cause oxidant accumulation and ultimately hair loss. Rosehip oil helps eliminate these oxidants and prevents hair loss.
*Regular application of Rosehip oil on hair prevents hair frizz and eliminates split ends.
*The antioxidants and moisturizing properties in Rosehip oil give hair a shiny and healthy appearance. The moisture in the oil keeps hair smooth and silky while the antioxidants prevent your hair from becoming brittle.
Now, there are several methods you can use rosehip oil to manage hair loss so let us get right into them.
