Tired of thinning hair? Onion juice—though pungent—is a proven, research-backed remedy to stop hair loss, boost growth, and fight dandruff. Studies show it increases collagen production and blood circulation to hair follicles, leading to thicker, stronger hair in weeks.
🧅 Why Onion Juice Works
✔ High sulfur content → Stimulates hair follicles & collagen
✔ Antibacterial properties → Fights scalp infections & dandruff
✔ Improves blood flow → Delivers nutrients to roots
✔ Rich in antioxidants → Reduces hair fall from stress/damage
(A 2002 study found 87% of participants regrew hair after 6 weeks of use!)
🍶 How to Make & Use Onion Juice for Hair
| Ingredient | Amount | Why It’s Used |
|---|---|---|
| Red onion (or white) | 1 medium | Highest sulfur content |
| Coconut oil (optional) | 1 tsp | Redces smell, adds moisture |
| Peppermint oil (optional) | 2 drops | Improves scent, boosts circulation |
Steps:
- Blend/Grate the onion, then strain to extract juice.
- Mix with coconut oil & peppermint oil (if using).
- Apply directly to scalp, massaging for 5 mins.
- Leave on for 30-45 mins, then rinse with mild shampoo.
Frequency: 2-3 times weekly for visible results in 4-6 weeks.
⚠️ Remember
- Patch test first (some scalps get irritated).
- Rinse thoroughly—the smell lingers if not washed well!
- Avoid if allergic to onions or sensitive skin.
- Consistency is key—it takes time to see growth.
For severe hair loss, consult a dermatologist.
