GOD NO!!! Don't rub undiluted rosemary oil into your scalp.

Dilute 1 drop per 30ml of base oil then rub into your scalp.

I've just found your thread on "chemical burns" it sounds to me like your hairdresser use a stronger peroxide solution than she stated. You could sue them for damages if it's still within the statutary period. The shiny patch does sound like a chemical burn along with the sensation you felt on your scalp.

It might be worth while seeking professional advice.

Best of luck. Sue

Definitly dilute it first before putting it on your scalp. Rosemary is quite a stimulating oil and may not be the best oil to use immediately before going to bed. See how you get on with it. There are other good essential oils too which could be useful such as roman chamomile, lavender, basil, geranium, clary sage, thyme and cedarwood, although it does depend on the reason for the hair loss. Mustard oil and sesame oil are both good hair oils too. Whichever oil you use, make sure you massage your scalp well as it will help improve the circulation to the scalp which can help encourage new hair growth.

Rosemary oil may be lovely (diluted as above) for hairloss. But my suggestion would be to make sure that your shampoo and conditioner don't contain any sodium laureth sulphate (SLS). You'll have to read the labels, and you'll have to buy your shampoo from somewhere other than a supermarket. There is an interesting blog post (read all the comments, they are fascinating) which tells you more about it: Shampoo causes hairloss (the effects of SLS).

The Body Shop now sells a range of shampoos which don't contain SLS - I'm not positive, but I think it is their New Rainforest Range. You can also find shampoos without SLS in health food shops - not all of them, though, so you still have to read the labels.

The idea is to be gentle with your hair and scalp, and to not blast them with any unnecessary chemicals, and in due time your hair and scalp will recover.

Rosemary may cause headaches as it is very potent. Coconut oil is a wonderful base oil to use on the hair, you can pick this up from health food shops also.

I agree with switching to SLS free shampoo base, you can add rosemary to this.

Keep us posted with how you get on. x
