A three-part, kitchen-friendly regimen that uses fresh guava leaves to support scalp health and hair vitality through topical use. This system includes a lightweight tonic spray for daily use, a richer deep-conditioning mask for weekly treatment, and a slow-infused scalp oil for targeted nourishment. Each preparation emphasizes gentle cleansing, increased scalp comfort, and improved manageability rather than guaranteed regrowth. The approach pairs guava leaf extracts with complementary herbs, mild oils, and simple techniques that help maximize contact time, ease absorption, and preserve hair moisture and integrity.
The routine is designed for all hair types and textures. The tonic spray refreshes the scalp between washes and can be used to detangle and lightly condition. The mask delivers slip, moisture, and softening for dry or brittle strands. The infused oil targets dry patches, split ends, and flaky scalps when used sparingly. The overall system encourages consistency: short, frequent tonic applications plus one weekly mask and targeted oiling can make hair feel thicker, smoother, and better hydrated over time.
This is a traditional, cosmetic regimen for topical hair care. It is not a medical treatment for diagnosed hair loss conditions. If experiencing sudden, severe, or persistent hair shedding or scalp problems, consult a qualified healthcare or dermatology professional.

INSTRUCTION
Tonic Spray — Make and Use
Prepare infusion: In a saucepan, combine the bruised guava leaves and filtered water. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat and simmer 10–12 minutes to extract aromatic compounds and water-soluble constituents. Turn off heat and let steep 20 minutes with lid on for fuller extraction.
Strain and cool: Strain through a fine mesh or cheesecloth into a clean jar. Press leaves gently to recover more liquid. Allow infusion to cool to room temperature.
Balance and preserve: Stir in apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and aloe vera if using. Add essential oil drops and mix.
Ezoic
Bottle and refrigerate: Transfer to a sterilized spray bottle. Store refrigerated and use within 5–7 days. Shake lightly before use.
Application: Spray directly onto dry or damp scalp and hair roots daily or every other day. Section hair and mist the scalp, then gently massage for 1–2 minutes to encourage circulation. Follow with light finger detangling or styling as usual. For in-shower use, spray at the end of conditioning as a light rinse.
Deep-Conditioning Mask — Make and Apply
Base: Use 1 cup of cooled guava leaf infusion as the wet base. Add mashed avocado or banana, coconut milk, honey, and oil into a bowl. Whisk until smooth and uniform. If thicker texture desired, add a teaspoon of fenugreek powder.
Ezoic
Clean hair: Start with clean, towel-dried hair for best penetration. Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb.
Section and apply: Divide hair into sections. Apply mask from mid-lengths to ends, focusing on drier areas. Massage a small amount into the scalp if extra calming is desired.
Wrap and wait: Cover hair with plastic wrap or a shower cap and leave the mask for 30–60 minutes. Gentle warmth from a towel-wrapped head or heat cap enhances absorption.
Rinse and finish: Rinse thoroughly with cool to lukewarm water, shampoo lightly if hair feels heavy, and condition as normal using a small amount of conditioner. Use weekly or every 10–14 days depending on hair needs.
Scalp Oil Infusion — Prepare and Use
Cold infusion method: Place crushed dried guava leaves into a clean, dry glass jar. Pour carrier oil to fully cover leaves. Seal and place in a warm, sunny window for 2–4 weeks, shaking daily, to slowly infuse. Strain oil through cheesecloth and bottle.
Quick warm infusion: Gently warm carrier oil in a double boiler to 40–50°C (104–122°F), add fresh or dried guava leaves, keep at that warm temperature for 1–2 hours without boiling, then cool and strain. This speeds extraction while limiting degradation.
Add essential oils: After straining, add optional essential oils and mix. Store in an amber bottle away from light. Shelf life varies with carrier oil; typically up to 6 months refrigerated.
Application: Apply 5–10 drops to the fingertips for spot treatment or use the applicator tip for targeted scalp application. Massage 3–5 minutes to distribute. Leave on overnight or 30–60 minutes before shampooing. Use 1–3 times weekly.
SERVINGS
Tonic Spray yields approximately 3–4 uses per week from one batch for an individual with short to medium hair; adjust quantity for longer or thicker hair.
Ezoic
Mask recipe treats shoulder-length hair 1–2 times; double batch for longer, denser hair or two people.
Oil infusion yields a bottle that can last 2–3 months with weekly targeted use. Make smaller batches to test tolerance.
NOTE
This regimen is a topical cosmetic approach and not a medical cure for hair loss. Results vary by individual based on genetics, nutrition, hormonal status, and underlying health.
Do a patch test for sensitivity: apply a small amount of each preparation to inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
Fresh versus dried leaves: fresh leaves give a green, aromatic character. Dried leaves are concentrated and more shelf-stable for oils.
Cleanliness: always use sterilized containers and clean tools to prevent contamination. Discard topical batches showing cloudiness, off-odor, or mold.
Ezoic
Essential oils: use sparingly and avoid during pregnancy unless cleared by a healthcare provider. Do not apply undiluted essential oil directly to the scalp.
Styling compatibility: these products are low-residue when applied sparingly. Overuse of oils can weigh hair down; start light and increase as needed.
Frequency: tonic for maintenance, mask weekly, oil for targeted care. Adjust based on hair feel and scalp condition.
Hair-porosity consideration: low-porosity hair may prefer shorter mask times and lighter oils; high-porosity hair benefits from longer conditioning and richer oils like argan or coconut.
