Ingredients:
-10 cloves

The shampoo should be used 2 to 3 times a week, always massaging the scalp well during application. Don’t forget to shake the mixture before using.
Clove and Rosemary
Rosemary has vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, therefore, it eliminates toxins from the scalp and contributes to blood circulation in this region, stimulating hair growth. Furthermore, substances such as caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid reduce the appearance of gray hair.
Basically, as rosemary has an astringent and bactericidal action, it also helps reduce oiliness and, therefore, dandruff.

I prepare and use:
Add the cloves to a pan with water, once it boils, wait around 1 minute and add the rosemary. Then, wait for the mixture to cool and strain, then store the contents in a spray bottle.
Spray the tonic over the entire length of your hair and, when you put it on your scalp, massage it to intensify the effects of rosemary and cloves. After an hour, wash your hair normally. However, this tonic is not recommended for pregnant people due to the stimulating properties of cloves and rosemary.
