🛒 Ingredients
- 8 to 10 fresh garlic cloves (peeled) 🧄
- 2 tbsp whole dried cloves 🌿
- 1 cup cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil (or black seed oil / coconut oil) 🛢️
- 4 to 5 drops lavender or rosemary essential oil (optional, for fragrance) 🪻
📝 Step-by-Step Preparation & Application Guide
- Prep the Botanicals:
- Peel the garlic cloves and crush them gently with the flat side of a knife to activate their beneficial natural compounds. 🧄
- In a small saucepan, place the crushed garlic cloves and whole dried cloves. 🌿
- Gently Infuse the Oil:
- Pour 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil over the garlic and cloves. 🛢️
- Place over very low heat and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes. (Be careful not to burn the garlic; a soft, low warm soak allows the beneficial nutrients to infuse into the oil naturally!) ⏲️
- Cool & Strain:
- Remove from heat and let the infused oil cool completely to room temperature.
- Strain the oil through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass jar or dropper bottle, discarding the solids. 🫖
- Stir in a few drops of lavender or rosemary essential oil if desired! 🪻
- Apply to Scalp & Hair:
- Section your hair into equal parts.
- Apply the warm infused oil directly to your scalp and roots using an oil dropper or fingertips.
- Gently massage your scalp in circular motions for 5 to 10 minutes to promote circulation. Work leftover oil through the ends of your hair. 💆♀️
- Rest & Wash:
- Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave the oil treatment on for 30 to 45 minutes. ⏲️
- Wash thoroughly with a gentle shampoo and conditioner to rinse out all residual oil. Style as usual and enjoy noticeably softer, shiny hair! ✨
