Hair loss is something that affects both men and women, with common causes including ageing, genetics, hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, medication and poor hair care.
It can be a source of anxiety for many people, however, substantial regrowth is possible for many types of hair loss with the right products and practices.
A woman who reversed her receding hairline credited her transformation to rosemary oil.
Speaking to her TikTok followers, Shan (who goes by @shopwithshanx on the platform), said: “If you were thinking about getting rosemary oil, get it.”

Shan found that after just two months of using the essential oil, her “very thin” hair and “receding hairline” were “barely noticeable”.
“After five months, I barely have a receding hairline anymore – it actually works,” she rejoiced.
Shan isn’t the only hair care enthusiast who has found success with rosemary oil.
Indeed, one model shared how she has used it for years to achieve longer and thicker hair.
The experts at Harley Street Hair Clinic provided some important information regarding receding hairlines in women.
They explained that while female hair loss typically results in thinning and a wider parting, women can also develop a receding hairline due to thinning and balding around the temples. This often leads to an M-shared hairline.
Offering hope to those who suffer from this type of hair loss, they stated: “While a receding hairline is always disheartening, you will be pleased to know there are several women’s receding hairline treatments that may help restore your hairline to how it once was.
“Did you know certain hair oils can help you regrow your locks? It’s true. If you have a receding hairline as a woman, consider using a hair oil like rosemary oil or pumpkin seed oil, as there’s some evidence to suggest these actually work.
“In fact, there are studies showing that rosemary oil can be just as effective as minoxidil at regrowing the hair.”
There are so many rosemary oil hair products available at health and beauty retailers. For tailored advice on which product to go for, speak to a professional.
