GARLIC IS A MIRACLE WORKER!!!

[Amour]

Ladies please do not sleep on Garlic to curb breakage or shedding.

I would say my hair is relatively healthy but I do experience breakage and shedding, despite trying to balance my moisture and protein treatments.

Last weekend, I prepooed with crushed garlic, egg and alma oil... since then up until now I have not had 1 broken hair. I detangle my hair yesterday with a detangling comb then a fine tooth comb and had about 15 shedded hairs only.

I know its down to the garlic because I tried it before and had the same results, the smell just put me off it. I think now I will use garlic in my chosen pre poo EVERY week. Hopefully with this, I will be able to reach my goals quicker and retain more length

That sounds great. I just started taking garlic supplements for health. I am sure they are good for the hair as well because of the sulfur content.

 

[Lanea87]

Ummmm I may try this!

Did you smell like garlic afterward?

 

[Lanea87]

Oh yea I meant to ask that too! ^^^^

I definetly co-sign this. I am using MT and for about two weeks I ran out of garlic pills and my shedding was fierce. I'm back on and it's very minimal now. If you don't like the taste or smell, get the pills and take them twice a day.

 

[JerriBlank]

How much garlic did you use and for how long did you prepoo?

 

[bbdgirl]

bumping for more replies...

 

[cocopuff06]

Wow, my hair has been shedding and breaking a lot... I'm gonna have to give it a try. The other day I went to the healthfood store and asked the lady about garlic pills and hair shedding and she said it doesn't help... but I guess she was wrong!

 

[JerriBlank]

BUMPING!!!!!

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

Garlic really is awesome AND it's good for your health. I've been taking the non-scented garlic oil tablets... the regular one's scent can come through your skin.

Co-sign! garlic has help A LOT since I started with MT....

 

[Reinventing21]

:grinYes. I had for some inexplicable reason started shedding gobs of hair. Then I found garlic juice sold in a bottle & presto...no shedding. The results happened inside of a week. I am also now alternating with coffee. Did you know that when I did a search for foods with sulfur in it, coffee came up as having MSM?? And of course, garlic. I also plan to juice some onion. Maybe add to oil. Hmmm...thinking out loud.

How long do you guys plan on taking the pills? Cause I don't wanna be taking garlic for the rest of my life! LOL

I love onion but that's going a little too far for me! Good luck - can't wait to hear on your decision.

My hair started shedding two months ago but for the past three weeks I have been using Garlic shampoo and conditioner. My hair is no longer shedding, super soft, growing and full of body. Who knew that at $4 bottle of shampoo would solve my problem.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

I take three garlic tabs per day, I can't believe how much my sheding was reduced and my hair is tickening up nicely!! Garlic is a keeper!! I haven't tired it on my scalp directly...

Between the baking soda, coffee, garlic and clay receipes I don't know what to try first!

lol yeah but you should! It has loads of benefits

 

[britskie]

Soooooooooo, did it make your hair smell afterward?

I hear you! But I'm on a mission to repair damaged follicles in one section of my hair. It has barely grown for awhile & when it does, it falls out/breaks off. This used to be my longest section so it finally occured to me there must be something wrong at the follicle level.

So far the garlic & coffee has rapidly thickened that area. The garlic I only use in that section & on wash day is when I use it on my whole scalp. If I get around to onion it will def. be on a day I wash!

sorry for the late reply.

I used 2 bits from the garlic flower (does that make sense). I prepooed for about 20 mins. It did leave a garlic smell in my bathroom for a while; my hair didnt really smell, I think because of the the conditioner etc afterwards.

Did no one else have the benefits of no broken hair? I dont know how its possible... but I know it works. The only broken hairs I have had is tiny broken hairs (a small small small amount since last week) which I think are from damaged hair ends which need clipping.

Thank you KK for this post! Nearly everything you've said, I experienced since adding garlic to my pre-poo mix last weekend also! I even slacked off adding ANY moisturizer or EO to my hair for 2 days straight (Thursday and Friday) and it STILL didn't shed!!

The only negative was that I didn't crush it to a smoother consistency, so I had a time picking the chunks out. Plus I smelled like pizza for a couple of days

I started taking the odorless Garlic supplements two weeks ago and my shedding has almost completely stopped. I'm so happy that you ladies shared this with me because I was worried that all of my hair was going to come out.

Yeah i totally forgot that i had some Queen Helene's garlic condish that i bought when i started using MT...I found it in my old mab that i stopped using...it is worth that $3.99 and more.It really is good value for the price.

I was suppose to do a wash on the wkend and include garlic in my pre poo again but I was WAY to busy to fit in my 5 hour wash routine so I didn't get chance. I washed yesterday and found that my breakage and extra shedding increased; so I guess the garlic thing needs to be upkept at least every week.

 

[Mz.Shug]

Hmmmm.....very interesting.I'll have to try this when I get back home.

 

[Newtogrow]

I used minced garlic in olive oil. Warm in the microwave and use it as a pre-poo and/or deep conditioner. No shedding- or shoud I say minimum (10 hairs maybe). I started that when I began Megatekking because of the shedding reviews.

Hey Atlanta,

Where did you get the Garlic pills? Do you have a link to a website?

 

[Reinventing21]

I have been using garlic juice by Reese. No mess. Great results so far!
