Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Provence Rose (Rosa centifolia), also known as cabbage rose, has a long history of traditional use in hair care, primarily in the form of rose water or rose oil. Traditional practices in various cultures, especially in the Middle East and South Asia, have incorporated rose extracts into hair rinses and oils, with claims of promoting hair softness, fragrance, and scalp health. These uses are mostly based on anecdotal evidence and cultural heritage rather than rigorous scientific studies.

There is a lack of robust scientific research specifically examining the effects of Provence Rose on hair growth, scalp health, or prevention of hair loss. Some components of rose oil, such as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, could theoretically benefit the scalp by reducing irritation or oxidative stress. However, these potential benefits have not been conclusively demonstrated in clinical studies focusing on hair care outcomes. Most contemporary hair care products that contain rose extracts do so for fragrance and perceived luxury rather than proven therapeutic effects.

Overall, the use of Provence Rose in hair care is justified primarily by tradition, with weak evidence to support any specific hair health benefits.
