Oil that will help you to grow new hair
🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
To whip up the botanical infusion styled in gather these simple, high-quality ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Whole aromatic cloves 🧄
- 1/2 cup Pure cold-pressed coconut oil (or jojoba oil if you have a fine hair texture) 🥥
- 1 tbsp Castor oil (highly celebrated for its thick, moisturizing ricinoleic acid profile) 🧴
- 3-4 drops Rosemary essential oil (optional, for an extra aromatic clarifying boost) 🌿
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Grind the Spices Lightly: Take your 2 tablespoons of whole cloves and give them a very brief pulse in a spice grinder, or crush them slightly using a mortar and pestle. You don’t want a fine powder—just break the tough outer shells open to help release their natural volatile oils.
- Combine in a Double Boiler: Place your coconut oil and castor oil into a small glass bowl or a small stainless steel ladle/saucepan like the one shown in Add the crushed cloves directly into the oil mixture.
- The Gentle Warm Infusion: Set the container over a small pot of gently simmering water (a double boiler method). Let the oil warm slowly on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Never let the oil boil or smoke, as excessive heat will destroy the beneficial antioxidants and fatty acids! 🛑
- The Cool and Steeping Phase: Remove the mixture from the heat. Let the cloves continue to steep in the warm oil for 1 to 2 hours as it cools back down to room temperature, allowing the liquid to turn a beautiful, deeply aromatic amber hue.
- Strain and Store: Pour the infused oil through a fine cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer to catch all the clove pieces. Transfer your clean, smooth herbal oil into a dark amber glass dropper bottle to protect it from light degradation. If you are using rosemary essential oil, stir it in now.
