Growing hair is very difficult. For many reasons. One of the biggest reasons why we get frustrated and usually give up on caring for our hair, even though we spend a lot of money and effort on its growth, is the fact that it is a very slow effort.
Hair grows at the speed of a turtle.
But that being said, all hope is not lost. So if you’re experiencing any type of hair loss, you’ll be glad to know that there’s an all-natural solution that can help. Yes, one of the best ways to deal with this problem, the problem of weak hair or hair that has started thinning slowly but surely, is by using onions.
It may sound strange and weird at first, but onions have some real benefits for your hair growth. Below we will tell you how to use onion juice for hair growth.
But first, let us have a look at the amazing benefits of using onion juice in your hair.
Both users and hair professionals agree that when used consistently, you can experience amazing benefits for your hair. Keep in mind that this is not a one-time use, but regular application over several weeks.
Here are some interesting facts related to onion juice and hair growth:
1. Onions are rich in dietary sulfur – and hair follicles need sulfur to regenerate.
An additional benefit of sulfur is that it strengthens the hair. Stronger hair means less breakage and more stability
2. Onion juice is rich in many antioxidants. All those antioxidants will help keep your hair strong, while also preventing graying.
3. Another great benefit of onion juice is its ability to fight bacteria. With enough onion juice usage, you will get rid of all the unnecessary bacteria that roam around in your hair day in and day out.
4. Onion juice helps in improving the blood circulation in your head.
And you may or may not know that in order to grow strong hair with stable follicles, you need good circulation.
Now that we have looked at some of the benefits of using onion juice on your hair, we can move on to the application aspect of the remedy.
So here is what you will need:
-
1. Two to three large onions
-
2. An essential oil of choice.
-
3. A Blender
-
4. A small strainer or cheesecloth
-
5. Small container for pouring juice.
-
6. A ball of cotton.
Here’s how to prepare onion juice mix
step 1
Peel the onion and cut it into small pieces. Add in small pieces until you get an almost stiff mixture.
step 2
Place the strainer over a bowl or container. Pour the blended mixture into the strainer and press it down using a spoon so that all the juice drains into the container at the bottom.
step 3
Add a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender or peppermint, to mask the onion smell.
step 4
Use a small piece of cotton and dip it in onion juice. Part your hair so that the areas of your head with less hair are exposed.
Apply the juice all over your head, but pay special attention to the areas on your head where hair is thinnest.
step 5
Cover your head with a shower cap and let the remedy sit for at least an hour.
step 6
When the time is up, wash your hair with a mild organic shampoo and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
And all!
For best results, use this onion juice remedy at least 3 times per week for at least 4-6 weeks. This remedy is very effective but you have to continue it continuously for some time. The only downside is that it takes time.
But if you have the time, this is definitely one remedy that should be a part of your weekly hair care routine.
