Garlic oil is renowned for its potential to promote hair growth and improve scalp health. Here’s a simple guide to making garlic oil at home for instant hair growth:
Ingredients:
- 8-10 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup carrier oil (such as olive oil, coconut oil, or almond oil)
Instructions:
- Crush the Garlic: Peel the garlic cloves and crush them to release their natural juices and beneficial compounds.
- Heat the Oil: Pour the carrier oil into a small saucepan and heat it over low heat. Avoid overheating as this can reduce the oil’s efficacy.
- Add Garlic: Once the oil is warm, add the crushed garlic cloves. Allow the garlic to simmer in the oil for 5-10 minutes. Be careful not to let the garlic burn, as this can produce a bitter smell and reduce the effectiveness of the oil.
- Cool and Strain: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the garlic-infused oil cool to room temperature. Once cooled, strain the oil into a clean, airtight container to remove the garlic pieces.
- Store the Oil: Store your garlic oil in a cool, dark place. It should last for up to two weeks.
Application:
- Scalp Massage: Apply a small amount of garlic oil to your scalp and gently massage it in circular motions. This helps stimulate blood circulation and enhances hair growth.
- Leave-In Treatment: Leave the oil on your scalp for at least 30 minutes, or for better results, leave it overnight.
- Wash: Wash your hair thoroughly with a mild shampoo to remove the oil.
Using garlic oil regularly can help strengthen your hair, reduce hair loss, and promote a healthier scalp. However, always perform a patch test before using it to ensure you don’t have an allergic reaction to garlic oil.
