Onion Hair Oil for Faster Hair Growth and Hair Fall Control

This homemade onion hair oil is a natural remedy that helps stimulate hair growth, reduce hair fall, and nourish the scalp. Onion contains sulfur, which boosts collagen production and strengthens hair roots. When combined with nutrient-rich oils, it forms a potent solution for healthy, thick hair.

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium-sized red onions (or 1 large)
  • 1 cup coconut oil (extra virgin)
  • 2 tablespoons castor oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (optional)
  • 5 to 10 curry leaves or neem leaves (optional)
  • 10 drops rosemary or lavender essential oil (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Onion Juice:
    • Peel and chop the onions into small pieces.
    • Blend them with a little water to form a paste.
    • Strain the paste using a fine sieve or muslin cloth to get fresh onion juice (about 4–5 tablespoons).
  2. Infuse the Oils:
    • In a small pan, combine the coconut oil and castor oil.
    • Add fenugreek seeds and curry or neem leaves if using.
    • Heat on a low flame for 5 to 7 minutes until the seeds turn golden and the leaves become crispy.
    • Turn off the heat and allow the oil to cool slightly.
  3. Combine Onion Juice:
    • Once the oil is warm (not hot), add the extracted onion juice.
    • Stir well and let it rest for 30 minutes.
    • Do not boil the onion juice directly, as it may lose nutrients and create a strong odor.
  4. Strain and Store:
    • Strain the mixture into a clean glass bottle using a sieve or cloth.
    • Add essential oils if desired.
    • Store the finished oil in a cool, dark place. Use within 2 to 3 weeks.

How to Use:

  • Warm 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oil slightly.
  • Massage into your scalp for 5 to 10 minutes using your fingertips.
  • Leave it on for at least 1 to 2 hours or overnight.
  • Wash off with a mild shampoo.
  • Repeat 2 to 3 times a week for best results.

Benefits:

  • Promotes thicker, faster hair growth
  • Strengthens hair roots and reduces breakage
  • Nourishes the scalp and reduces dandruff
  • Improves hair texture and shine

Precautions:

  • Always do a patch test before first use.
  • If the smell is too strong, add a few drops of essential oil.
  • For best results, use consistently for 4 to 6 weeks.
