Discover why and how to use garlic for stronger, shinier hair full of vitality.
Why use garlic for hair?
A purifying ingredient
Garlic is naturally antibacterial and antifungal.
Thanks to its active compounds (such as allicin, ajoene, and organic sulfur compounds), it helps cleanse the scalp, fight dandruff, and prevent fungal infections like seborrheic dermatitis.
Result: a healthier, more balanced scalp, ready to support beautiful regrowth.
A growth-boosting ingredient
Dreaming of denser, stronger hair?
Garlic is an excellent hair growth stimulant.
Rich in sulfur and selenium, two essential minerals for keratin production, it strengthens the hair fiber while promoting blood circulation in the scalp.
Result: faster growth, less breakage, and visibly thicker hair.
An antioxidant and anti-aging ingredient
Garlic is not only fortifying,it’s also a natural anti-aging treatment for hair.
Thanks to its vitamin C and polyphenol content, it neutralizes free radicals responsible for premature hair aging.
It also promotes scalp cell regeneration, helps prevent age-related hair loss, and slows the appearance of gray hair.
A soothing ingredient
Garlic’s sulfur compounds have anti-inflammatory properties.
They help soothe scalp irritation, reduce redness, and calm itching.
Ideal for sensitive scalps, garlic restores comfort and contributes to overall hair health.
How to use garlic for hair?
As a strengthening hair oil
This is the gentlest and most effective way to enjoy garlic’s benefits.
Simple recipe:
-
Let a few garlic cloves infuse in a vegetable oil (castor, argan, or coconut oil).
-
Leave to macerate for several days in a sealed bottle.
-
Apply the garlic oil to the scalp, parting by parting, and massage for 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Leave on for 30 to 60 minutes, then rinse with a gentle shampoo.
This synergy nourishes the scalp and naturally stimulates hair growth.
As a purifying pre-shampoo treatment
If your scalp tends to become oily quickly or develop dandruff, mix a little garlic oil with aloe vera or honey.
Apply to the roots, leave on for 20 to 30 minutes, then follow with your usual shampoo.
Result: a fresh, healthy, and balanced scalp.
As a repairing treatment for damaged hair
For dull, dry, or brittle hair, add a few drops of garlic oil to your mask or conditioner.
This blend restores shine, softness, and vitality while strengthening the hair fiber.
A few precautions before using garlic on hair
Raw garlic can be irritating to the skin. To avoid any reaction:
-
Never apply it directly to the scalp—always dilute it in a vegetable oil or hair treatment.
-
Perform a patch test before first use.
-
Opt for deodorized extracts or oil macerates if you want to avoid its strong smell.
