The sulfur content of onions helps improve blood circulation, and stimulates the growth of hair follicles, thus promoting hair regrowth. These features make onion one of the best natural treatments for hair loss and thin hair.

The reason why sulfur is so important in the treatment of these hair issues is that it is one of the main building blocks of hair. It is contained in most building blocks of protein – amino acids and keratin proteins contain high amounts of sulfur-rich amino acids.

The success of onion used in hair loss treatment has been proven by many studies. What’s more, this vegetable can help control other hair issues such as scalp infections, dandruff, and premature graying.

In 2002, the Journal of Dermatology published a small study that involved spot baldness or alopecia areata sufferers. Half of them applied onion juice to their scalp two times a day for a period of two months, and the other half used only tap water.

The results showed that the participants who used onion juice noticed an increased rate of hair regrowth, as opposed to the control group. An interesting fact is that men showed better results than women.

This natural remedy for hair loss includes another equally important ingredient that will make your hair smooth and shiny. This ingredient is antioxidant-rich honey which attracts moisture.

Additional Tips

  • You can also extract the juice from grated rather than blended onion. Instead of a strainer, you can use a cheesecloth for squeezing. Another way is to use a juicer.
  • Refrigerate the onion for about 15 minutes before chopping it if you like to avoid tearing it while cutting it.
  • Fragrant essential oils which promote hair growth are lavender, rosemary, peppermint oil, etc.
  • To mask the onion odor and prevent your hair from smelling like onions, use some rose water or lemon juice.
