Homemade Onion Hair Oil for Faster Hair Growth and to Prevent Hair Fall

Ingredients:

• 2 large onions
• 1 cup coconut oil (or any carrier oil of your choice: olive oil, almond oil, etc.)
• 1 tablespoon fenugreek seeds (optional, for added benefits)
• 5-6 curry leaves (optional, for added nutrients)
• 1 teaspoon castor oil (optional, for thicker consistency)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Onion Juice:
   • Peel and chop the onions into small pieces.
   • Blend the chopped onions in a blender to create a smooth paste.
   • Strain the onion paste using a cheesecloth or fine strainer to extract the juice. Set the juice aside.
2. Infuse the Oil:
   • In a pan, heat the coconut oil on low heat.
   • If using fenugreek seeds and curry leaves, add them to the pan and let them sizzle in the oil for a few minutes. This helps infuse the oil with additional nutrients.
   • Once the seeds and leaves start to change color, reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
3. Combine Onion Juice and Oil:
   • Slowly add the onion juice to the warm oil. Be cautious, as the mixture might splatter.
   • Stir the mixture well to ensure the onion juice and oil are well combined.
   • Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
4. Cool and Strain:
   • After simmering, turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
   • Once cooled, strain the oil using a fine strainer or cheesecloth to remove any onion residue, seeds, or leaves. This will give you a smooth, clear oil.
5. Optional:
   • Add the castor oil to the strained oil and mix well for added thickness and nourishment.
6. Storage:
   • Transfer the prepared onion hair oil into a clean, airtight bottle or container.
   • Store the oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Application:

1. Before Application:
   • Gently warm the oil by placing the bottle in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. Warm oil penetrates the scalp better.
2. How to Apply:
   • Part your hair into sections and apply the oil directly to your scalp using your fingertips.
   • Massage the oil into your scalp in circular motions for about 5-10 minutes. This helps stimulate blood circulation, promoting hair growth.
   • Apply the remaining oil to the length of your hair, especially the tips.
3. Let it Sit:
   • Leave the oil on your hair for at least 1-2 hours. For best results, you can leave it overnight.
4. Rinse:
   • Wash your hair with a mild shampoo to remove the oil.
   • Follow up with a conditioner if needed.

Usage Frequency:

• For optimal results, use the onion hair oil 2-3 times a week.

Benefits:

• Onion juice is rich in sulfur, which helps in boosting collagen production, essential for hair growth.
• The antimicrobial properties of onions help in maintaining scalp health.
• Coconut oil nourishes and moisturizes the hair, preventing dryness and breakage.
• Fenugreek seeds and curry leaves add extra nutrients, promoting healthier hair.

Note:

• If you experience any irritation or allergic reaction, discontinue use immediately.
• The smell of onion might linger after washing, but it will fade as the hair dries.

This homemade onion hair oil can be an effective remedy for promoting faster hair growth and reducing hair fall with consistent use.
