Cyperus Rotundus Oil: How It Helps Reduce Unwanted Hair Growth

Tired of shaving or waxing every few days? Cyperus rotundus oil — also called nutgrass oil — is becoming a popular natural ingredient for helping slow the look of hair regrowth while keeping skin calm and smooth.

Used traditionally in North Africa and Asia, this plant extract is rich in antioxidants and soothing compounds that support the skin after hair removal.

How Does Cyperus Rotundus Oil Work?

Early research and traditional use suggest Cyperus rotundus may:

• Gently reduce follicle activity during the hair-growth phase
• Calm redness and irritation after waxing or shaving
• Make hair appear finer and softer with repeated use

 It won’t remove hair permanently — but with consistency, many people notice regrowth looks slower and lighter over time.

 How to Use It in Your Routine

1. Remove hair first (wax, shave, thread, or epilate).

2. Apply a small amount of Cyperus rotundus oil or a product containing it.

3. Use daily for 4–8 weeks.

4. Keep skin moisturised and exfoliate gently to help prevent ingrowns.

Consistency is key — think of it as a maintenance step, not a quick fix.
