1. Garlic Peels: The outer, paper-like skin of garlic cloves. You will need about a cup full of garlic peels, which can be collected from 5-6 garlic bulbs.
  2. Tea Powder: 2 tablespoons. Tea powder is a natural hair colorant.
  3. Khatta (Katachu): 1 teaspoon. Khatta is an extract from the Acacia tree and is known for enhancing hair volume, shine, and color.
  4. Olive Oil (or any hair oil): For mixing the hair dye powder.

Instructions

Whenever you use garlic for cooking, remove the outer skin and store it in a pouch or container. Ensure you remove any thick or sticky parts of the garlic skin. Collect enough peels to fill a cup.

Roasting Garlic Peels

  1. Roast the Garlic Peels: Heat a pan over a small flame and add the garlic peels. Roast them slowly until they turn black. This process may take about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Add Tea Powder: Once the garlic peels are black, add 2 tablespoons of tea powder to the pan. The mixture will start smoking; at this point, turn off the heat.
  3. Cool the Mixture: Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes. Remove any unwanted parts from the garlic peels.
