Oh dear, losing hair is never a pleasant thing to have happen! How long has this been going on?
I’m not familiar with using clove oil for hair growth. Hopefully other members might chime in on the conversation to talk about their experiences.
But if you do use it internally, be aware that too much clove oil can have some serious and unpleasant side effects as well as interfering with medications. I found a good article for you that delves into clove oil a little further.

What pops into my mind first is, why is this happening? What’s going on in your life that may have brought about the hair loss?
Have there been any changes in your life recently such as stress, different medications, illness? Any hormonal changes due to menopause or using birth control? Chemotherapy? Thyroid problems? As you can see here are so many factors that can affect our hair.

There are a number of links you might find of interest discussing hair loss and some solutions.

I am including one of Mayo's Q and A on treating hair loss:

Healthline – Biotin for Hair Growth: Does It Work? https://www.healthline.com/health/biotin-hair-growth
NIH – Biotin https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/natural/313.html

We’ve had members having some success with using Biotin which is a natural Vitamin B supplement. There are other products on the market which help promote hair growth as well as slowing down the loss. Rogaine is an over the counter product at drug stores. I’ve used a shampoo and conditioner called Nioxin which really helped stop the loss.

But most importantly, if this persists, it might be in your best interest to see your primary care physician to make sure there is no underlying physical reason such as low thyroid level. Have you seen a doctor about this?

Hi!! Better late than never! I started taking a scoop of collagen powder in any drink you like a couple years ago and I can say my hair loss has slowed way down to almost nothing and my nails are healthier!!
