Using Garlic As a Hair Loss Remedy

Hair functions to protect the skin and to help maintain the body’s temperature balance. Hair growth is a cyclic process that depends on where the hair is located, the person’s age, family history, nutritional status, and environmental factors.

There are many ways to help hair loss, including the use of garlic. Yes, Garlic…a lot of people may say ‘yuck’, it smells bad. But before I go on with the steps to follow, let me give you a hint of what garlic contains; Calorie for calorie, garlic is incredibly nutritious.

A 1 ounce (28 grams) serving of garlic contains (3):

Manganese: 23% of the RDA.

Vitamin B6: 17% of the RDA.

Vitamin C: 15% of the RDA.

Selenium: 6% of the RDA.

Fiber: 1 gram.

Decent amounts of Calcium, Copper, Potassium, Phosphorus, Iron and Vitamin B1.

 Follow a few simple steps to help combat hair loss with garlic.

1.       Start off with six to eight cloves of garlic. Peel the garlic cloves. Use a garlic press to get 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of garlic juice from these cloves.

2.       Once you've juiced the garlic, set it aside. Grab some honey and measure out 1 tablespoon .Mix the honey into the small bowl of garlic juice and put the mixture in the refrigerator.

3.       Brew chamomile tea. You can get this on https://www.jumia.com.ng/swanson-100-certified-organic-chamomile-tea-2586724.html Once the tea has brewed for the right amount of time, pour the mixture into a cup.

4.       Once our tea is done, take the honey and garlic mixture out of the fridge. Mix one egg yolk into the mixture. It may take a minute to get it combined because the honey is thick. Add one tablespoon of aloe vera gel and mix very well.

5.       Gently massage the mixture into your scalp, not all of your hair. Since the hair grows from the scalp. After it is on your scalp, wrap your head with a clean towel for 20mins.

6.       Wash the mixture out of your hair with a very gentle shampoo. I have gotten good feedback on this product; Cantu https://www.jumia.com.ng/cantu-shea-butter-moisturizng-cream-shampoo-5382261.html . Rinse thoroughly, take a second egg yolk and massage that into your scalp, this time rinse off with warm water.

     Finish this cycle by pouring a cup of the chamomile tea over your scalp, rinse your hair once again with it. Do this 3 times a week until hair re-growth begins or shedding stops. Repeat the treatment twice a month. 

Exciting right, all that Garlic phobia will disappear once you start seeing results. And trust me, Garlic has other benefits asides hair loss. You too can get your natural, or permed hair looking healthy again
