A BEAUTY guru has revealed how a homemade haircare product stopped her locks from falling out.
She confessed to having feared that she would go bald when an illness caused her hair to start shedding.

The 24-year-old, who lives in California, spoke candidly about how she restored her hair health as she styled her curly tresses.
“This little bottle has single-handedly stopped my hair loss,” she said holding a bottle containing a brown liquid.
“For the past month, my hair had been falling out like crazy.
“Why you ask? well, I got covid in October and I know that can make you lose your hair.
“I have Lyme disease which also causes a bunch of imbalances and deficiencies.
“It needed to stop, regardless of what the reason was my hair needed to stop falling out.
“I had experienced hair loss before and because of that, my hair was already much thinner than it is naturally.

“Which freaked me out even more because your girl cannot go bald, I could rock it but…”
Rebecca revealed oiling her hair had previously worked to regrow her thinning locks.
However, she realized that this time using oil was making her hair shed even more.
“I had previously tried rosemary water but not super consistently,” she said. “I had not 100% experienced the magic of rosemary water.
“Anyway, I knew this was my last chance because nothing was working.
“Oh my goodness this saved my hair,” she said revealing the bottle contained rosemary water.
“Every single time I touched my head, hair was just shedding. Every time.
“I started making rosemary water and spraying it onto my scalp every morning and every night before I went to bed.

“And whenever I would style my curls, or wanted a little bit extra protection or moisture, I would cover the rest of my hair.
“It only took about two weeks before I really noticed that the shedding had stopped.
“Not only that, but there have been so many new little hairs regrowing,” she said showing the sprouting strands.
“The hair near my scalp feels so much thicker.
“I can tell that there is a bunch of new growth.
“There is literally no product in my hair except for rosemary water. No gel, nothing.
“Make sure you’re spraying it every day and keep track of when you’re running low so that you can make yourself another batch and there’s no gap in between.
“Get on it, let’s stay consistent together and see how our hair looks in a couple of months.”
Rebecca revealed that rosemary water has helped to make her hair less frizzy and doesn’t have to be washed out.
She recommended storing the DIY haircare product in the fridge when not using it.

“Same, oiling my hair made it fall out way worse. I hope this works,” one person wrote.
