Many women and men alike want to accelerate the growth of their hair and prevent hair loss. To do this, they look for and try different ways to achieve it, such as onion shampoo, one of the most popular natural remedies.

Social media has been filled with positive reviews about this product. But what effect does onion shampoo really have? Is it true that it favors hair growth as they say?

ONION SHAMPOO: WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT IS FOR

Onion shampoo is a hair product whose main ingredient is red onion. It is also usually formulated with essential oils and other components that give it complementary properties.

The effects of onion shampoo are diverse and very beneficial for hair. This is because onion contains high levels of quercetin, which significantly improves blood circulation.

This facilitates the correct supply of nutrients to the scalp and guarantees its proper functioning. It is also very rich in sulfur, which achieves greater regeneration of hair follicles.

REDUCES HAIR FAT

One of the most well-known effects of onion shampoo is its great ability to reduce excess sebum on the scalp.

THOROUGHLY CLEANS

Onion shampoo deeply cleanses the scalp, removing impurities and leaving it fluffy and shiny.

ACTS AS A NATURAL ANTISEPTIC

Another notable property of onion shampoo is its antibacterial function. Red onion products prevent bacteria from multiplying on the scalp, keeping it healthy and in optimal condition.

IMPROVES HAIR VOLUME AND ELASTICITY

The high sulfur content of onion shampoo improves hair volume and elasticity. That’s because sulfur promotes keratin production.

ONION SHAMPOO PROMOTES HAIR GROWTH, TRUTH OR MYTH?

In addition to the effects of onion shampoo mentioned above, many users of this product have a clear goal: to make their hair grow faster. But is it true that it promotes hair growth?

The short answer is “yes.” Onion shampoo can help hair growth and keep it in tip-top shape. It will also help the hair grow stronger and healthier.

ONION SHAMPOO AGAINST HAIR LOSS

Hair loss occurs for several reasons and the methods and means of treatment are equally varied.

If you are a woman, you may suffer from diffuse hair loss. If you’re a man, you may be battling the familiar circular hair loss at the crown.

Whatever the cause of hair loss, homemade onion shampoo can help, except in cases where the fall is caused by some underlying disease or medical treatment.

Onions contain the enzyme catalase, known for its anti-aging effects, meaning onion juice can also minimize age-related hair loss.

HOW TO MAKE ONION SHAMPOO AT HOME

Ingredients (for a small 250 ml bottle):

• 1 bottle where to store the shampoo
• 1 medium raw red onion
• 3-5 drops of any essential oil of your choice to combat onion smell
• A natural shampoo base

Elaboration:

1. Cut the onion into small pieces, blend them and put the juice in the shampoo bottle. Shake it well so that they mix.
2. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place (preferably in your fridge).
3. It may not look very good and smell bad, but it will work fine.
4. Apply it to wet hair and leave it on for 3-4 minutes before rinsing gently with warm water.

HOW TO REMOVE ONION SMELL FROM YOUR HAIR?

Of course, no one likes the smell of onions on their head, whether it helps against hair loss or growth or not.

A few drops of an essential oil can counteract the strong smell of your shampoo. Peppermint, lavender and rosemary essential oils can be good options for diluting the smell of your home remedy for hair loss.

ONION SHAMPOO: SIDE EFFECTS

Using onion juice for hair is safe. However, if you are allergic to onions, this home remedy is not for you.

Some people, without being allergic, may experience redness and irritation. This can be avoided by adding aloe vera gel or coconut oil to the mixture.

If you’re concerned about skin reactions, you should first do a test on the inside of your forearm.
