DIY Garlic Oil for Hair
Ingredients:
- 5-6 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup of coconut oil (or olive oil, depending on preference)
- A few drops of essential oil (optional, for fragrance, like lavender or rosemary)
Instructions to prepare Garlic Oil:
- Crush the Garlic: Peel the garlic cloves and mash or crush them to release their natural juices.
- Heat the Oil: In a small pan, add the coconut oil (or olive oil) and heat it on low flame. Be careful not to heat it too much or it can lose its nutrients.
- Infuse Garlic into Oil: Once the oil is warm, add the crushed garlic to it. Let the garlic infuse into the oil on low heat for about 5-10 minutes, making sure it doesn’t burn. You’ll notice the oil might take on a faint garlic scent.
- Strain the Oil: After the oil has cooled down, strain out the garlic pieces using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. This will leave you with the infused oil.
- Add Essential Oil (Optional): If you want a better fragrance or extra hair benefits, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, like lavender or rosemary.
- Store the Oil: Transfer the infused garlic oil to a clean bottle or jar. Store it in a cool, dark place.
