How to Apply It for Maximum Results (The Method That Gave Me 3.5 cm in One Month)
Application technique matters more than you think.
- Wash your hair the night before or use it on a slightly dirty scalp (clean but not freshly washed).
- Part your hair into 4–6 sections.
- Spray or pour the juice directly onto the scalp — focus on thinning areas and the crown.
- Massage gently with your fingertips for 5–10 minutes. This step is crucial because massage alone can increase hair thickness by up to 10 %, according to a 2016 study.
- Cover with a shower cap and leave on for 30–60 minutes (start with 30 if you have sensitive skin).
- Rinse thoroughly and shampoo twice with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo.
- Finish with a light conditioner only on the lengths — never the scalp.
Frequency: 2–3 times per week. I do Monday, Thursday, and Sunday.
How to Get Rid of the Smell (Yes, It’s Possible!)
This is the #1 reason people quit — but these tricks completely neutralize the odor:
- Add 8–10 drops of rosemary or peppermint essential oil to the mixture.
- Rinse with diluted apple-cider vinegar (1 part ACV + 4 parts water) before shampooing.
- Use a scented leave-in conditioner afterward.
After trying all three, I promise nobody will know you just put garlic on your head.
Real Results: What You Can Expect Week by Week
| Week | What Most People Notice |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | Less hair in the brush, scalp feels cleaner and tingly |
| 3–4 | Baby hairs sprouting along the hairline, reduced shedding |
| 5–8 | Visible new growth (2–4 cm extra), thicker ponytail, more shine |
I measured 3.5 cm of new growth in 30 days — that’s almost double my normal rate. And no, your hair will not smell like a kitchen forever!
Bonus Tips to Supercharge Your Results
- Take biotin (5,000 mcg) or eat more eggs, salmon, and nuts — hair is literally made of protein.
- Sleep on a silk pillowcase to prevent breakage.
- Avoid tight hairstyles and heat styling while doing the treatment.
- Drink at least 2 liters of water daily — dehydrated follicles can’t grow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this remedy if I color my hair?
A: Yes! Onion and garlic are completely natural and won’t affect your color. Just apply 48 hours after dyeing to be safe.
Q: Will it burn or irritate my scalp?
A: It can tingle (that’s the blood flow!), but if you feel burning, dilute the juice with more water or aloe vera gel. Always patch-test first.
Q: How long do I need to keep using it?
A: Most people see great results after 8–12 weeks. Once you reach your desired length, drop to once-a-week maintenance.
