Onion hair oil is a natural remedy that has been gaining popularity for its ability to promote faster hair growth and reduce hair fall. The sulfur compounds in onions help nourish hair follicles, improve blood circulation, and strengthen the hair, making it an effective treatment for various hair problems. Here’s how you can make onion hair oil at home.
Ingredients:
1 large onion (or 2 medium-sized onions)
1/2 cup of coconut oil (or any other carrier oil like olive oil, almond oil, or castor oil)
5-10 drops of essential oil (optional, for fragrance)
A blender or grater
A fine cloth or strainer
A small glass jar or bottle for storage
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Onion Juice
Peel and Chop the Onion: Start by peeling the onion and chopping it into small pieces.
Blend or Grate: Place the chopped onion in a blender and blend it until you get a smooth paste. If you don’t have a blender, you can grate the onion instead.
Extract the Juice: Use a fine cloth, cheesecloth, or strainer to extract the juice from the onion paste. Squeeze out as much juice as possible and set it aside.
2. Heat the Oil
Choose a Carrier Oil: Coconut oil is a popular choice due to its nourishing properties, but you can use any carrier oil like olive oil, almond oil, or castor oil.
Warm the Oil: In a small saucepan, add the carrier oil and heat it on low. Be careful not to overheat it; you just want the oil to be warm enough to help the onion juice blend well.
3. Mix the Onion Juice with the Oil
Combine the Ingredients: Once the oil is warm, remove it from the heat and add the onion juice to the oil. Stir well to ensure that the onion juice is thoroughly mixed with the oil.
