    TLDR Rosemary and kalonji seeds can improve hair health and treat hair conditions.
    This review explores the potential benefits of rosemary and kalonji seeds for hair health, highlighting their phytochemical properties and therapeutic potential. Rosemary, rich in bioactive compounds like rosmarinic acid, promotes hair growth and treats scalp issues by enhancing circulation and blocking DHT, a hormone linked to hair loss. Kalonji seeds, with high thymoquinone content, offer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial benefits, protecting hair follicles and improving hair strength and texture. The synergistic effects of these natural ingredients could lead to effective treatments for hair conditions such as alopecia and dandruff, paving the way for more natural hair care solutions.

      Rosemary extract showed high inhibitory activity against DHT, similar to finasteride and dutasteride, but the conversation includes skepticism about its effectiveness in humans since the study was done on mice and rosemary oil is often considered ineffective based on personal experiences. Some suggest trying rosemary oil alongside other treatments, while others emphasize the difference between the extract used in the study and the oil.
