If you're looking for natural ways to boost hair growth, you've probably heard of rosemary essential oil. But hinoki oil — a lesser-known gem — is also gaining attention. Both have long-standing roots in traditional wellness, and recent research is starting to confirm their benefits. In this post, we’ll explore how these two oils support scalp health and why we’ve combined them in our Hair & Scalp Pre-Wash Oil.


Rosemary Oil: Backed by Research
Rosemary oil is one of the most studied natural ingredients in hair care. A 2015 clinical study showed that people who used it consistently for six months saw similar hair regrowth results to those using 2% minoxidil — a common treatment for hair loss. Even better, the rosemary group experienced fewer side effects like itching or dryness.


What it does:
  • Improves scalp circulation — helping more oxygen and nutrients reach the hair follicles
  • Fights inflammation and oxidative stress — both of which can disrupt the hair growth cycle
  • Helps lower DHT — a hormone linked to hair thinning in both men and women

Hinoki Oil: A Calming Boost for the Scalp
Hinoki oil, extracted from the Japanese cypress tree, has long been used in Japanese hair care. Studies suggest it may increase VEGF, a protein that promotes blood vessel growth, improving nutrient flow to the scalp — key for healthy hair growth.


Benefits include:
  • Natural antimicrobial action helps keep the scalp clean and balanced, supporting a healthy scalp barrier
  • Soothes irritation and helps reduce dandruff
  • Enhances circulation to nourish hair follicles

Why We Use Both in LUKEÉ Hair & Scalp Oil
This duo works together to create the ideal environment for healthy hair — stimulating the scalp, improving nutrient flow, and helping reduce DHT. They also calm and protect the skin, preventing irritation and flakiness.


To amplify the results, we’ve added a powerful blend of carrier oils that nourish from root to tip:
  • Pumpkin seed oil – Rich in zinc and phytosterols to support thicker growth
  • Grapeseed oil – Lightweight, adds shine, and reduces breakage
  • Jojoba & almond oil – Moisturize and strengthen
  • Coconut oil – Improves absorption and reduces protein loss

How to Use It
  1. Apply a few droppers directly to your scalp
  2. Massage gently for 3–5 minutes (this step helps stimulate blood flow)
  3. Leave on for at least 30 minutes (or overnight, if preferred)
  4. Wash out with your usual shampoo
  5. Use 2–3 times per week for best results
  6. Hair growth takes consistency and time — but many users notice improvements in texture, strength, and fullness within a few months of regular use.
