Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized onions
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
- 1 tablespoon castor oil (optional)
- 5-7 drops of essential oil (optional; lavender, rosemary, or peppermint are great choices to mask the onion smell)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Onion Juice:
- Peel the onions and chop them into small pieces.
- Blend the onion pieces in a blender or food processor to form a smooth paste.
- Strain the onion paste using a cheesecloth or fine strainer to extract the juice. Squeeze out as much juice as possible.
- Optional: Enhance with Oils:
- Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of castor oil to the onion juice for extra nourishment. These oils help moisturize and strengthen hair.
- For a pleasant scent, add 5-7 drops of your preferred essential oil (lavender, rosemary, or peppermint).
- Apply the Onion Juice:
- Part your hair into sections and apply the onion juice directly to your scalp using a cotton ball or applicator bottle.
- Gently massage your scalp for 5-10 minutes to stimulate blood flow, which helps with hair growth.
- Leave It On:
- Leave the juice on your scalp for 30 minutes to 1 hour. If you can tolerate the smell, you can leave it on for up to 2 hours for better results.
- Rinse and Condition:
- Rinse your hair thoroughly with a mild shampoo to remove the onion juice. You may need to wash twice to eliminate the smell.
- Follow up with a conditioner to ensure your hair feels soft and hydrated.
- Frequency of Use:
- For best results, use this treatment 2-3 times a week. Consistency is key to stimulating hair growth.
Benefits:
- Onion juice contains sulfur, which helps improve hair strength, stimulates hair follicles, and prevents hair thinning.
- Coconut oil and castor oil provide moisture and nourishment, while also promoting scalp health and hair growth.
- Essential oils like rosemary and peppermint can further promote hair growth and improve scalp circulation.
