Let’s talk hair growth—because if you’ve been battling thin edges, breakage, or painfully slow progress, you’re not alone. I’ve been there, staring in the mirror and wondering if my hair would ever bounce back. Then I discovered something so ridiculously simple, affordable, and effective, it shocked me: cloves.
Yes, those little brown spices sitting quietly in your kitchen cabinet. I used clove water on my scalp for seven days straight, and the results blew me away. My hairline looked fuller, my strands felt stronger, and I even spotted new baby hairs sprouting along my edges.
Curious? Let’s dive into how clove water works, my personal 7-day routine, and how you can try it yourself.
What Are Cloves and Why Do They Work for Hair?
Cloves are dried flower buds from the Syzygium aromaticum tree. They’ve been used for centuries in natural medicine, and for good reason—they’re packed with powerful compounds your hair absolutely loves.
- Eugenol – a natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent that soothes the scalp.
- Antioxidants – fight buildup and improve blood circulation to hair follicles.
- Vitamins & Minerals – like vitamin K and manganese, which strengthen strands from root to tip.
When applied to the scalp, clove water creates the perfect environment for growth by stimulating circulation, calming irritation, and fortifying the hair at its foundation.
Here’s what cloves can do for your hair:
✅ Stimulate blood flow to the scalp
✅ Strengthen hair follicles
✅ Reduce dandruff and dryness
✅ Prevent excessive shedding
✅ Encourage faster, healthier growth
My 7-Day Clove Hair Growth Routine
To keep things simple, I used only a few ingredients.
What I used:

How I made it:
- Boil cloves in water for 5–10 minutes.
- Let steep until cool.
- Strain and pour into a spray bottle.
This left me with a dark, fragrant liquid that I could spray directly onto my scalp.
Day-by-Day Experience:
- Day 1: Sprayed clove water on my scalp, focusing on thin areas. Felt a mild tingle, but no irritation.
- Day 2–3: My scalp felt refreshed, itchiness disappeared, and I noticed less shedding in the shower.
- Day 4–5: Hair roots felt stronger, strands had more texture, and my edges looked fuller.
- Day 6: Baby hairs started popping up along my hairline. I literally gasped.
- Day 7: My hair had a healthy shine, felt thicker, and looked full of life without any greasiness.
By the end of the week, I told my friend, “It’s like my hair woke up from a nap.” She immediately made her own batch.
Before & After Results
- Before: Thin edges, patchy growth, occasional dandruff.
- After 7 Days: Fuller hairline, stronger strands, healthier scalp, and visible new growth—especially around the temples.
Things to Keep in Mind
Cloves are powerful, and while they’re natural, you’ll want to use them wisely.
- Do a patch test if you have sensitive skin.
- Don’t overuse—stick to once daily or every other day.
- Avoid your eyes (trust me, it burns).
- Store your clove water in the fridge and use it within 5–7 days.
Bonus Tip: Clove + Leave-In Conditioner Hack
Mix a few tablespoons of clove water with your favorite leave-in conditioner. This turns your daily moisturizer into a scalp-strengthening, growth-boosting treatment without adding an extra step.
Does Clove Really Make Hair Grow?
Here’s the truth: clove water won’t magically grow hair overnight. What it does is stimulate the scalp, boost circulation, and strengthen your follicles. Think of it as laying down healthy soil for your hair “garden” to thrive. If your growth has been stagnant, this could be the natural push it needs.

I’m officially hooked. For something that costs less than $2 and takes under 10 minutes to make, the results were nothing short of amazing. No pills, no overpriced serums—just cloves and water.
If your hair has been struggling, this DIY treatment is worth trying. With consistency, scalp massages, and a healthy diet, you could see your hairline and overall thickness transform in weeks.
