Using onion or onion juice is a natural (and cheap) way to manage hair loss and can especially help with receding hair lines and bald patches. Now we know some of you may be a tad bit sceptical of this method but scientific studies show that applying onion juice or even consuming onions can be an effective method of preventing hair loss. This method has also been tried and tested showing great results in just 30 days. It has even been found that it can reverse the effects of whitening (gray) of hair due to the high sulphur content. Plus there is no harm in giving it a go as there is nothing harmful in it.
So how exactly can onions help with hair growth? Without boring you with too much of the science involved this is how it works
Onions have a rich sulphur content which when applied to the scalp can improve the blood circulation. This in turn makes your scalp a much healthier place for hair to grow by providing better nourishment for your hair follicles. The juice from it can increase the strength of the hair and therefore prevents thinning and breakages. So think you want to go ahead and give this natural remedy a go?
