DIY Garlic Shampoo:
Purchase good quality garlic, the one which are purple in color are preferred but if can’t find it then use white one only. You’ll need around 10-15 big garlic gloves, peel them and wash in running water.
Put the garlic in grinder to make a smooth and creamy paste. While grinding, you can add little bit (1 tablespoon) of aloe vera gel for a much smoother consistency.
