Onion Juice For Hair Growth by Nobody: 6:58am On Oct 02, 2013
Onions are more than just a healthy
vegetable. They have been shown to
help increase hair growth and reverse
grey hair when applied to the scalp.

Onion juice has been used for hundreds
of years to treat thin and greying hair.

Onion juice helps by providing
nourishment and circulation to the hair
follicles. It also kills germs, parasites,
and is helpful in treating some fungi
infections, all of which can aid in
prevention of hair loss.

Onions are also high in sulfur, which
helps in regenerating the hair follicles,
and they are beneficial in decreasing
inflammation.

A few weeks ago, a breakthrough cure
for thin and grey hair was published and
showed great results for the
effectiveness of a topical compound
called pseudocatalase (PC-KUS). The
reason this topical cream was found
effective was that it targeted the cause
of grey and thinning hair. Research from
Bradford University in the UK and
several other universities have shown
that grey and thinning hair is caused by
a buildup of hydrogen peroxide and a
decrease in the natural antioxidant,
catalase. When a buildup of hydrogen
peroxide occurs at the hair follicles, it
causes oxidative stress resulting in
greying and thinning hair.

Catalase can not only be found in the
topical cream, but it can also be
produced from the application of onion
juice! Onion juice reacts similarly, as
when it is applied, it increases the level
of catalase on the skins surface, reducing
the buildup of hydrogen peroxide.


Onion Juice for Hair Loss
and Greying Hair

The results from the topical application
of onion juice can be observed within
just a few weeks.

One study from the Journal of
Dermatology found that just after four
weeks of using onion juice, 74% of
individuals with alopecia areata
experienced significant hair regrowth.
Within six weeks of using onion juice,
84% of the individuals were reported to
have hair regrowth.


How to Make Onion
Juice

When I first started researching using
onion juice for hair growth, I
immediately did a search for where I
could buy some. Even though you can
buy it online, it is better to use the juice
of a fresh onion as any juice you
purchase is stored for months and the
fresh juice will be more potent. It is
best to make the juice in small amounts
so it is does not have to be stored for a
long period of time.


There are 3 Ways You Can Make
Onion Juice:

1) Juicer- If you have a juicer, this is the
easiest way to make onion juice. Just
peel the onion, cut it in half and put it
in the juicer.

2) Blender/Food Processor- Peel the
onion and cut it into about 4 sections,
then put them into your blender or food
processor and start blending. Lastly,
strain the mixture so that only the juice
is remaining.

3) Grater – Peel the onion and cut it in
half. Grate both halves of the onion
over a dish and then strain the mixture
to get just the juice.


How to Use Onion Juice
for Hair

For the first application of onion juice,
you may want to test it on a small area
(in case you may be allergic to it) or
water down the mixture. Even though
it’s natural, pure onion juice is strong.

Apply the onion juice daily to your scalp
and lightly massage it in, this helps
stimulate the hair follicles and allows for
maximum absorption.
Leave the onion Juice on for about 30
minutes to 1 hour.

Eww! The smell is powerful, but the
results may be worth it! To avoid
smelling like onion all day, you can apply
it at night and then wash it out before
you go to bed.
If you’re allergic to onions or are looking
for another option, another common
remedy for thinning hair is ginseng.
