Rosemary for hair growth
Commonly used in food, did you know that rosemary can be used to treat your hair problems? Known as one of the most natural ways to treat hair loss, rosemary has been found in several hair treatments across Moroccan culture. Some of its properties include it being antiseptic, antibacterial and extremely hydrating for dry scalps. In addition, it also helps hair shine and improves circulation around the scalp. The essential oil is commonly used to treat alopecia which deals with severe clinical hair loss, hence if you suffer from mild hair fall it might be worth using it in your routine.

The use of oils everyday
This is one tip that Moroccan's swear by. Incorporating an oil massage can actually be quite helpful if practised regularly at home. The advantages of massaging the scalp are already well known but when used with oils it can really transform your hair. If you use heat every day this might help as oils act as a cooling agent and prevents your hair from drying up easily. It also protects your hair from the daily pollution it is exposed to, which could lead to hair loss and contamination in the scalp. However, we understand that the use of oils daily could leave your scalp and hair feeling greasy. But the secret to using oil every day is mixing your routine up. An oil massage to the scalp can be done twice a week and the rest of week you can nourish your hair and tips with lightweight oils and sprays. Start 3-4 times a week and build your way up as your hair needs to get used to the use of oils rather than reacting to it by producing more oils.

Use of Hammam/steam room
A Hammam is an ancient practice of a Turkish style bath that combines the sauna and spa. It is a common practice amongst Moroccans to use Hammam’s on a weekly basis to cleanse and detox the skin and hair. Specifically to keep their hair hydrated, the steam in the Hammam acts to remove built up skin cells and improve blood circulation for hair growth. When combined with hair treatments or oils, the steam lets the products go deeper into the scalp and enhances the efficiency of the oils/treatments. If you can't visit a Hammam, then replicate it at home with your shower and let the steam relax your hair.

Argan Oil
It is a common fact that argan oil is one of Morocco’s best ingredients, and it is indeed worth it. Even though it is thick, it is known to feel quite light on the hair when applied evenly as a treatment before the shower or used to style after the hair has been dried. The amount of Vitamin E is what helps it promote fast hair growth and give it that lasting effect. It also is used to help breakage and splits which contribute to a fuller, thicker and healthier look when used over a long period. Finally, it also acts as a natural conditioner for your hair keeping it silky and smooth.
