    TLDR Clove oil in emu oil helps condition hair and promote hair growth.
    Eight years ago, a study was conducted to develop a self-emulsifying product containing eugenol in emu oil for hair care. Eugenol, which comprises about 70% of clove essential oil, shows androgenic activity and stimulates hair roots. The study found that the formulation conditioned hair, enhanced hair growth, and repaired the hair shaft. The hair growth was slower compared to minoxidil in the first week, but accelerated afterwards. The study concluded that the formulation containing clove oil in emu oil self-emulsion demonstrated promising properties for hair conditioning, grooming, and growth.
