Description
A jar of whole cloves and a couple of cinnamon sticks from the spice rack make a clove and cinnamon water for hair growth that costs a few dollars, and Janet learned it at Thanksgiving from a Kerala grandmother with a gray braid down her back at seventy-eight.

You get the full recipe for cloves and cinnamon water for thinning hair: the amounts, why the spices steep in just-boiled water instead of boiling, how long a batch keeps in the refrigerator, and how to work it into the scalp two or three times a week. Janet is plain about what clove water for hair can and can't do for Black women. It won't grow four or five inches in a month, since a healthy head grows about half an inch, but it can help you keep the length that breakage and shedding have been taking.
You'll also hear why a thirty-three dollar clove hair growth spray is mostly water, which kitchen versions to skip, like bottled clove oil and powder pastes, and the patch test to do first. The bigger lesson is how Missus Varghese keeps her braid: loose styles that spare our edges, satin, low heat, combing from the ends, and a Saturday curry leaf oil. If your crown burns or itches, Janet explains why that needs a dermatologist who knows Black hair.
