I just googled for it.
It is used against hairloss, and (duh) for hairgrowth.

I found this quote:
Garlic for Hair Growth
Hair is mainly composed of protein, sulfur and water. Garlic can help hair grow, adding shine and smoothness due to the rich element of sulfur it contains.

It got that from here.

I don't know, I think it is good for your skin isn't it? But I don't know about garlic and hair, sorry!

I really hate the smell of garlic, even though I like it in certain foods. It's not something I'd use on my hair.

There was a recipe that included garlic (and bananas, arugula and some other stuff) that gave some users great growth results! I'm not sure about garlic on its own, though. I'll try to find the recipe, one second!

I was wondering about this, too. Garlic is my cure-all when I get sick, it keeps mosquitoes away, is anti-bacterial, and tastes great! Surely something this awesome must have some kind of magical hair-related properties, too.

I tried garlic in grinded in my shampoo when I had massive shedding. It smells awful ok, but my hair was thinning and didn't care about the smell. It really caused baby hairs coming, and faster hair growth for me. I used violet essential oil which has strong smell in the same shampoo, so I didn't smell the garlic so much
