The Red Onion & Clove Scalp Tonic
Ingredients:
-
2 Large Red Onions: High in sulfur, which is a building block for hair.
-
2 Tablespoons of Whole Cloves: Known for improving scalp circulation and adding a fresh (if strong) scent.
-
1 Cup of Water: To act as the base.
-
Optional: A few drops of Rosemary or Peppermint essential oil to help mask the onion smell.
Preparation Steps:
-
Chop: Roughly dice the red onions (keep the skins on, they contain extra nutrients!).
-
Boil: Add the onions and cloves to a pot with the water. Bring it to a boil.
-
Simmer: Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10–15 minutes until the water turns a deep reddish-brown color.
-
Cool & Strain: Let the mixture cool completely, then strain it through a fine mesh or cheesecloth into a spray bottle.
How to Use It:
-
The Application: Part your hair and spray the tonic directly onto your scalp. Focus on thinning areas or the hairline.
-
The Massage: Massage it in for 5 minutes. This is crucial—it helps the nutrients actually penetrate the follicles.
-
The Wait: Leave it on for at least 30 to 60 minutes.
-
The Wash: Wash your hair thoroughly with a mild shampoo. You might need to rinse twice to ensure the onion scent is gone!
