If you’re looking to promote fast and long natural hair growth, clove oil is a fantastic solution. This secret hair growth oil is easy to make at home and offers numerous benefits for your hair, including stimulating hair growth, reducing hair fall, and improving scalp health. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making your own DIY clove oil.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of olive oil or coconut oil (base oil)
- 1 tablespoon of whole cloves or clove powder
Equipment:
- A small saucepan or double boiler
- A fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
- A clean, dry glass bottle with a lid
Procedure:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Measure out 1/2 cup of your preferred base oil (olive oil or coconut oil).
- Measure 1 tablespoon of whole cloves or clove powder.
- Infuse the Oil:
- If using a saucepan: Pour the base oil into the saucepan and add the cloves. Heat the mixture on low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let the oil boil; it should be warm enough to release the clove’s beneficial properties but not too hot to degrade them.
- If using a double boiler: Fill the bottom pot with water and place it on the stove. Pour the base oil and cloves into the top pot and place it over the bottom pot. Heat the water on low, allowing the steam to warm the oil and cloves for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cool and Strain the Oil:
- After 30 minutes, remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the oil into a clean, dry glass bottle, ensuring all the clove particles are removed.
- Store the Clove Oil:
- Secure the lid tightly on the glass bottle. Store the clove oil in a cool, dark place to preserve its potency. The oil can be stored for up to 6 months.
Application:
- Pre-Shampoo Treatment:
- Before shampooing, apply a generous amount of clove oil to your scalp and hair. Massage gently for 5-10 minutes to stimulate blood circulation and promote hair growth. Leave it on for 30 minutes to an hour, then wash your hair with a mild shampoo.
- Scalp Massage:
- Use the clove oil for regular scalp massages. Apply a small amount to your fingertips and massage into your scalp in circular motions. This can be done 2-3 times a week to promote healthy hair growth.
- Hair Growth Oil Blend:
- Mix a few drops of clove oil with your favorite carrier oil, such as jojoba or argan oil. Apply this blend to your hair and scalp to enhance the oil’s benefits.
By incorporating this DIY clove oil into your hair care routine, you can enjoy faster and longer natural hair growth while maintaining a healthy scalp. This simple yet effective homemade remedy harnesses the power of cloves to nourish and strengthen your hair from root to tip.
