When eaten in quantity, garlic may be strongly evident in the diner's sweat and breath the following day. This is because garlic's strong smelling sulfur compounds are metabolized forming allyl methyl sulfide. Allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) cannot be digested and is passed into the blood. It is carried to the lungs and the skin where it is excreted. Since digestion takes several hours, and release of AMS several hours more, the effect of eating garlic may be present for a long time.
The well-known phenomenon of "garlic breath" is alleged to be alleviated by eating fresh parsley. This is, therefore, included in many garlic recipes. However, since garlic breath results mainly from digestive processes placing compounds such as AMS in the blood, and AMS is then released through the lungs over the course of many hours, eating parsley is at best a temporary fix. One way of accelerating the release of AMS from the body is the use of a sauna. Because of its strong odor, garlic is sometimes called the "stinking rose".

I use Garlic for my hair by mixing it with olive oil and apply it to my hair, the smell would last for more than 2 months. As far as I know that the smell of Garlic comes out of your skin when sweating, so you need to bathe more after eating garlic

No I don't think so. I think that your breath smells like garlic after you eat it. You'll probably smell like garlic for that day.

It depends how much you eat and in what form. Raw garlic seems to do it more than cooked and if you eat just a small amount, it shouldn't stick with you like that.
