Clove oil, known for its powerful antiseptic and stimulating properties, can be a game-changer for your hair. Packed with eugenol, antioxidants, and nutrients, it promotes faster hair growth, reduces hair fall, and improves scalp health by increasing blood circulation to the hair follicles.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp clove oil (available in stores or homemade)
- 2 tbsp carrier oil (such as coconut, castor, or olive oil)
- Optional: 1 tbsp aloe vera gel (for added hydration)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Treatment
- In a small bowl, mix the clove oil with your chosen carrier oil to dilute its potency and prevent scalp irritation.
- Add 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel if desired, for extra hydration and soothing benefits.
Step 2: Apply the Treatment
- Part your hair into sections and use your fingertips or a cotton ball to apply the mixture directly to your scalp.
- Gently massage the oil into your scalp for 5-10 minutes. This will improve blood circulation and ensure the treatment is absorbed deeply.
Step 3: Leave It On
- Leave the treatment on for 30-60 minutes. For better absorption, you can cover your head with a warm towel or shower cap.
Step 4: Rinse
- Wash your hair with a mild shampoo to remove the oil. Follow with a conditioner as usual.
How Often to Use
- Use this treatment 1-2 times a week for the best results.
