Creating onion hair oil at home is straightforward and uses natural ingredients believed to promote hair growth and reduce hair fall. Here’s a simple method:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized onions (red onions work best)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (or any carrier oil like olive or castor oil)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Onions: Peel the onions and chop them into small pieces.
- Extract Onion Juice: Blend the onion pieces into a fine paste and strain it using a muslin cloth to separate the juice.
- Mix with Oil: Heat the coconut oil on low flame for 2-3 minutes. Add the onion juice to the oil and stir well.
- Simmer: Let the mixture heat gently for 5-7 minutes. Avoid overheating to preserve nutrients.
- Strain the Mixture: Once cooled, strain the oil to remove any onion pulp.
- Store: Pour the onion-infused oil into a clean, dry container.
Application:
- Apply the oil directly to your scalp, massaging gently for 10-15 minutes.
- Leave it on for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper absorption.
- Wash it out with a mild shampoo. Use twice a week for best results.
Onion oil is rich in sulfur, which strengthens hair follicles, boosts collagen production, and enhances hair health. Just a heads-up: the smell can be strong, but the benefits are worth it!
