Onions not only taste good but also are beneficial for hair. Onion juice increases hair growth and reverses baldness and itchy scalp. Onions regenerate the hair follicles and increase the collagen production because they are high in sulfur. Onion juice offers nourishment to the hair follicles and enhances the blood circulation. It has anti-bacterial properties which kill germs and parasites. These block the hair from growing. Various researches have shown that the buildup of hydrogen peroxide leads to thin hair and hair loss. One another reason is the decrease in the level of a natural antioxidant, catalase. When hydrogen peroxide gets accumulated, it leads to oxidative stress. Onion increases the level of catalase on the scalp and decreases the level of hydrogen peroxide. Studies show it only takes a few weeks to see the results.
How to prepare onion juice?
Our aim is to prepare half a cup of onion juice (sufficient enough to massage the complete scalp). One can either blend small pieces of onion in a blender or just grate it. Extract out the juice with a sieve. Apply this on the scalp and massage for 5 minutes. Let it stay for around 30 minutes before rinsing off with a mild shampoo. If possible, do this at least twice a week. Results will be visible in about 2 months. This remedy is even effective in the case of acute baldness and hair fall. Regular application of onion juice thickens the hair and removes scalp problems and infections.
Onion is the most effective way to provide your hair with vital nutrients. Onion juice is equally suitable for both dry and oily scalp.
