Hair-related issues have become extremely common these days, from dandruff and dullness to hair fall and brittle hair. But instead of opting for quick fixes and seeking instant results by means of using chemical-laden products, why not try natural products that come without any side effects.

So, if you are looking for a solution that can help you solve your hair woes, then look no further as chef Meghna Kamdar has got you covered with a natural hair tonic, which she claimed can prevent dandruff, improve hair growth, and reduce hair fall due to the presence of cloves in it.

“So many people complain of dandruff and attribute it to various factors. Now here’s an idea that is natural and very easy to do,” she wrote in her post.

“Clove keeps your scalp healthy, helps control dandruff, improves hair growth, reduces hair fall, and is full of vitamin K. And for those who don’t use hair oil, this is another way. Apply at least twice a week – after shampooing on the scalp to make it healthy,” she added.

However, Dr Rinky Kapoor, consultant dermatologist, cosmetic dermatologist and dermato-surgeon, The Esthetic Clinics, said, “While cloves and rose petals are natural botanicals which can be used as herbal and natural remedies, they do not have any medicinal properties. If you have mild itching or a burning sensation on the scalp, rose petals can provide a cooling effect. Clove oil can be used to improve dandruff. But, if you have severe dandruff or hair fall, these ingredients are not as beneficial.”

Recipe

1 tsp cloves
Rose petals
