A new hair trend taking off on TikTok involves adding cloves to shampoo for longer, shinier hair.
When it comes to hair, cloves are rich in essential nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium and calcium, so they can help strengthen hair follicles, promoting healthier growth.
Additionally, cloves have anti-fungal and antioxidant properties that can help people with dry scalps, itchiness, or oily hair.
How to use it?
1. Use powdered or whole cloves. If you use the latter, press it to release the essential oils.
2. Heat some water (not too hot) and add the cloves and leave for about 15-20 minutes to release the nutrients.
3. Strain the liquid and put it in a container together with the shampoo (1:2 liquid:shampoo ratio).
4. Use this mixture as your regular shampoo. Gently massage the scalp and rinse well.
