Hair loss is one of the most significant beauty issues for women in Dubai. I’ve written several articles about treating and recovering from hair loss.
One of my favorite ingredients for helping alleviate hair loss is rosewater (combined with other healthy hair care practices).
Before I started using it on my hair, I used it see it in the aisle at Carrefour for years and wondered, “What can one do with rose water?” However, I was too lazy to go beyond that.
As my research into hair loss solutions expanded, I came across the immense benefits of rose water.
Rosewater is made via steam distillation with rose petals steeped in purified or distilled water.
Rosewater is used in beauty products, perfumes, cooking, culinary, and therapy.
Traditionally, rosewater is used as a flavoring in sweets, tea, and diary-based dishes such as rice pudding and yogurt in the Middle East.
How Does Rosewater Help with Hair Loss?
One of the most significant tools against the war on hair loss in Dubai is always keeping your hair moisturized.
Rosewater ticks this requirement as a natural conditioner and moisturizer. Rosewater is rich in vitamins A, B3, C, D & E and helps stabilize the pH levels of hair.
It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help calm scalp conditions like eczema and dryness.
