Cloves pack a punch when it comes to the number of benefits for your hair. Our Today is ready to help you reap all those great benefits. Here is a list of the benefits of cloves for hair health.

Healthier scalp

Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Cloves have anti-inflammatory properties, so clove oil should be a great help if you have dandruff, eczema, or other scalp disorders.

Clove oils also hydrate and nourish dry scalp while stimulating hair roots and better blood circulation; therefore, it is also a powerful defense against hair loss.

Soft and shiny hair

Full of antioxidants, cloves detoxify and add moisture to your scalp, and penetrate the hair shaft. They also have a conditioning effect, making your hair softer and more manageable.

Clove oil is especially great for curly hair as these hair types tend to be drier and require more hydration.

 Prevents premature greying 

If you’ve noticed a few grey hairs here and there, no worries, all you need to do is start using clove oil or clove water immediately to help delay premature greying.

 Antioxidant properties in cloves prevent free radicals from damaging your hair pigment, thus your gorgeous hair colour will last longer.

Use clove water or clove oil regularly to reap the benefits and avoid premature greying. Use clove oil, clove paste, or dilute clove oil by mixing it with other oils (rosemary oil, coconut oil, almond oil etc).

Stimulate hair growth

Vitamin K, beta carotene, eugenol, a bunch of antioxidants, and various nutrients in cloves stimulate the hair follicles and ensure better blood circulation, resulting in faster hair growth.

They also help strengthen and thicken your hair, so if you are struggling with hair loss, try clove water or clove oil to help remedy the situation.

Hair thinning is a huge problem for women over 50 and clove oil might help with that. Thanks to the powerful combination of antioxidants and vital vitamins, clove oil helps to stimulate hair growth and helps to prevent hair fall.

How to use cloves for hair

There are several ways to use cloves for your hair: make yourself clove water, make clove oil, make clove hair butter or buy clove essential oil. All these options have similar benefits, but the most popular way is probably to use clove oil.

Clove water

The process of making clove water is very similar to making rosemary water. Add one cup of water to a pot, boil it and add a teaspoon of cloves, then let it simmer for five minutes.

Let this sit overnight, or even up to a week. It is recommended that you rinse your hair with it once or twice a week.

Clove oil

Clove oil offers a natural remedy for hair loss. You can make clove oil yourself by adding cloves to a carrier oil such as coconut oil, olive oil or even almond oil and let it sit for three weeks or more.

A quicker way is to heat your carrier oil and add cloves to the heated oil. After five minutes, remove the mixture from the heat and leave it to cool. You’d then strain the ready mixture into a container.

Massage the oil into your scalp using your fingertips as often as needed (this will depend on your hair’s porosity).

Clove essential oil

This one is for those who have issues with their scalps. Add a few drops (5 to 10) of clove essential oil to the dime-size shampoo of your preference and wash your hair.

You can also add eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, or rosemary oil for the maximum benefits.

Please be aware that you can get an allergic reaction, so do a patch test before putting any essential oil on your scalp.
