hair grows back at 75
sound exciting—but it’s important to be honest and safe. Clove oil does not guarantee regrowth on a completely bald spot, especially where follicles are no longer active. However, research and traditional use show that clove oil can help stimulate the scalp, improve circulation, and support healthier hair growth where follicles are still alive.
Here’s a clear, realistic, and responsible guide
How Clove Oil May Help Hair Growth
Clove oil is rich in eugenol, a compound known to:
Improve blood circulation to the scalp
Support oxygen and nutrient delivery to hair follicles
Reduce scalp inflammation and microbial buildup
Strengthen existing hair and reduce breakage
Better circulation can reactivate weak or dormant follicles, especially in thinning areas—not shiny bald skin.
Who May Benefit Most
Thinning hair
Patchy hair loss
Slow hair growth
Weak roots or excessive shedding
Age-related hair thinning
How to Make Clove Oil Hair Treatment (Safe Method)
Ingredients
1 tablespoon whole cloves
½ cup coconut oil or olive oil
Optional: 1 teaspoon castor oil (for thickness)
Preparation
Lightly crush the cloves.
Add them to the oil in a small pan.
Heat on very low flame for 5–7 minutes (do not boil).
Let cool completely.
Strain and store in a dark glass bottle.
How to Use It Correctly
Warm a few drops between your fingers.
Massage gently into the scalp for 5 minutes.
Leave on for 30–60 minutes (not overnight).
Wash with a mild shampoo.
Use 2–3 times per week only.
When Results May Appear
Reduced hair fall: 2–4 weeks
Stronger roots & shine: 1 month
Visible baby hairs (if follicles are alive): 8–12 weeks
Consistency matters more than quantity.
Important Safety Rules
Always do a patch test (clove oil is strong)
Never apply undiluted clove oil directly
Avoid broken or irritated scalp
Stop if burning or redness occurs
Not recommended for very sensitive skin or eczema-prone scalps
What Clove Oil Cannot Do
Regrow hair on long-term shiny bald areas
Reverse genetic baldness completely
Replace medical treatments when follicles are dead
Boost Results Naturally
Massage scalp regularly (even without oil)
Ensure enough protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin D
Manage stress and sleep well
Avoid tight hairstyles and harsh chemicals
Final Truth
Clove oil is a powerful scalp stimulant, not a miracle cure. At any age—even 60s or 70s—it can help improve scalp health, slow hair loss, and support regrowth where follicles still exist.
Important Precautions to Take:
While clove oil is natural, it must be diluted properly before you apply it to your skin or scalp. Undiluted clove oil can cause irritation or allergies, so always patch-test a small area before wider application. Additionally, regular and consistent use can ensure optimal outcomes for hair growth.
