- 1 whole onion (with skin, chopped for maximum potency)
- 9 garlic cloves (cut into small pieces to release their oils)
- 250 ml extra virgin olive oil (opt for cold-pressed for best results)
- A 500 ml glass jar with a tight-sealing lid
These everyday ingredients combine to create a nutrient-dense infusion that revitalizes your scalp and hair, making every strand stronger and more resilient.
How to Create Your Hair-Growth Elixir
Step-by-Step Preparation
Follow these easy steps to craft a potent oil infusion that will breathe new life into your hair:
- Chop the Ingredients: Dice the onion (including the skin, which is rich in antioxidants) and garlic cloves into small pieces to maximize their nutrient release.
- Combine in a Jar: Place the chopped onion and garlic into the glass jar, then pour in 250 ml of olive oil to cover them completely. Seal the jar tightly.
- Gentle Heating: Use a double boiler method by placing the jar in a pot of hot water. Heat on low for 20 minutes to infuse the oil with the ingredients’ essence.
- Infusion Time: Remove the jar and store it in a cool, dark place for 7 days, allowing the flavors and nutrients to meld into a powerful blend.
- Strain the Magic: After a week, strain the oil through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer into a clean, dark bottle to remove solids. Your elixir is ready!
Pro Tip: Shake the jar gently every couple of days during infusion to ensure even blending. This creates a richer, more effective oil for your hair.
