The easiest way to do is to collect the outer peels of the onion which are to be discarded (while cutting the vegetables) and blend them. Put them in a sieve cloth and extract the liquid. Apply the liquid on your scalp. You can also apply the blended onion paste directly too. The smell would be stinking so you have to wash your hair after that. Keep it on for half- hour or as long as you can and then wash off with a mild shampoo. Do this as many times as you can in a week and you will see results within a month or two. You have to be consistent with the treatment. You can also add fenugreek paste to condition your hair simultaneously. Try to be innovative. Add eggs, honey, fruits, oils or anything else you are in a mood for.
Another advantage of applying onion on your hair is it will give you hair a nice coppery shade. It makes your hair look glossy. But, if you want to maintain the natural color of your hair, mix the onion blend with adequate amount of mustard oil. The oil will prevent the color lightening caused by onions. And, you can increase your daily consumption of onions for a beautiful hair.
Im in india, my age is 26 years.have been facing hair loss since 2006
ReplyDeleteI am trying this onion thing since last 6 days, and im taking regular pictures through my cell fone to measure the changes...

hey did u get any changes? can u upload the pics pls? or mail it to me at memyself.nabila@gmail.com
Deletethnx
Hey....sad to hear that you have been facing hair loss since so long but I would be really interested to hear your feedback on using onion...but one thing I want to tell you beforehand is that hair grows slowly so you have to give it time before seeing any results....you should really check for results after a month at least...
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be quite effective.............
ReplyDeleteyes...it is extremely effective :) do try!!!
ReplyDeletevery informative blog! plz add more.
ReplyDeletethanks a lot!!! do tell me if you want to read about something specific :)
ReplyDeletecan i use it once in a week?cos i m little lazy and feel comfortable doing this in holiday.pls answer,thnk u
ReplyDeletehey Trina...yup you can use it once in a week too...me too lazy so try this on hols :)
ReplyDeletehahahahaha,sho shweet,u r very cute,like u very much
ReplyDeletesame to u Trina :)
ReplyDeleteTehe Hi!!
ReplyDeletegreat article. i am also going to try it. My hair is falling and thinning for about one year. I don't know whether i can stand with onion smell. But i will defenitely try if it grows my hair strong and healthy. Thank u for the info.
ReplyDeletedo try it :) I am definitely sure it will help you...just today I received a mail from one of my friends that one usage of onion juice has considerably decreased her hair fall and made her hair shinier and smoother so I am sure it will help you :)
ReplyDeletethanks for adding such important blog..even i am going to start it from today..
ReplyDeletethanks Vicky!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving these Tips iam also trying this onion for hair growth lets hope for a good results
ReplyDeleteregards
afu
it will deifnitely help, afu :)
ReplyDeleterecently i heard about this, but can you confirm me that whether onion can be added to coconut oil & applied daily basis, is it good?
ReplyDeleteoh yes definitely....it is quite good...actually you can combine onion juice with any oil and apply..it is quite good for hair :)
ReplyDeleteand in case you mean boiling coconut oil with small red onions, well...my advise is don't...heating oils breaks its chemical bonds so it doesn't really do any good so it is best to extract fresh juice and mix it with oil and if you want you can heat the oil a bit by placing the container in hot water!!! hope this helps :)
thanks swati, actually my friend has heated the oil & added crushed onions & gave , can i use that ? will body get heat due to this or any side effects for daily use? thanks rajalakshmi
ReplyDeletehey rajalakshmi...ya sure you can use the oil but ext time make sure not to heat up the oil...instead of that you can make infusions by keeping the oil in sunlight or something like this: http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-to-infuse-herbs-in-oil.html
ReplyDeleteand no, using the oil will not make your body hot or anything...don't worry about that coz onions are generally prescribed to avoid sunstroke so it can't increase the body heat and no side effects also :)
my hair are very thin can onion make hair thick also
ReplyDeleteyes Neha...it will definitely help but don't forget to take balanced diet too :)
ReplyDeleteHi ,
ReplyDeleteI am mahesh sufferinf from hair loss from 11 years and main due to Dandruff can i use onion juice to resolve my problem.
Thanks
Mahesh
Hi Mahesh
ReplyDeleteyes you can definitely use this...but there are many reasons for hair fall apart from dandruff so you should consult a dermatologist or a trichologist to make sure it is not due to some health problem...hope this helps :)
Hi am ramesh from chennai suffering from hair fall and dandruff.....i have doubt......both small r big onions shall be used r any particulars r there.....please tell me.......
ReplyDeleteThanks for this lovely post, just wanna know that does the smell of onion linger even after the wash? plz do let me know as my hair has been thinning and can i mix olive with the juice as they say even oilve oil helps in hair growth and thicking.. is it true...
ReplyDeleteawaiting to hear from you
Hey!!! interesting. Can i use it with olive oil and than wash it with aamla, reetha and shikakai water? Will it work?
ReplyDelete@Ramesh sorry for the delay in reply but yup you can use both kinds of onions big and small but using a big onion will result in more juice and the red ones have higher content of sulphur in them so they are more effective...hope this helps :)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous yes you can definitely use this with olive oil and they do say that olive oil helps with hair growth...I can't say anything because I have never used olive oil but if you are buying olive oil, go for extra virgin olive oil which is cold processed....it does help in keeping hair smooth and shiny as far as I have heard!!!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous yes you can use it with olive oil and wash it with shikakai and reetha water....it will keep the hair healthy and the onion smell doesn't linger after the hair wash so no need to worry on that account :)
ReplyDeletehi .. i am 20 years old and suffering from extreme hair thinning at frontal left and right sides from past 2 an half years so can this onion remedy regrow it back to thick ...please reply.....GM
ReplyDeletehey...yes you can use onion but I would also suggest going to a dermatologist to get a diagnosis of the hair fall....hope this helps :)
ReplyDeletehello swati this is Ramesh.....how many days this will take to begin result,Is there any proof of anybody got the hair back.....when applying onion more hair's are falling off.....what's the reason for that.....kindly reply me.....
ReplyDeleteThank U
@Ramesh onion juice does work and I have used it personally which I have mentioned in the post too but if your hair is falling off, its better you stop using it...it might not have suited you...and it does give results which become apparent in a week or two...hope this helps!!!
ReplyDeletehi....i m misha.....i read ur article seems very interesting i wana ask can i use onion paste with egg n yogurt???? n using just once a week will show result in 2 to 3 months....i have very thin hair i want it to grow thicker fuller n longer will this remedy help??? i have no health problems...looking forward to ur reply....
ReplyDeleteHi Misha...I am not able to think of any reason why you can't use onion paste but remember that it might be really strong and might sting the eyes real bad....juice itself is pretty bad to use but otherwise that should be fine and yup it should show some result in 2-3 months definitely and be regular with usage and eat well...that's the most important :) coz hair grows from inside so feeding it from inside is more important and do at least 5 min scalp massage daily!!! that helps a lot...
ReplyDeleteDoes applying onion only stops hair fall or does it generate new hairs on bald patches also???
ReplyDeletehi...onion juice helps with hair fall and hair growth...it does help with patches of scalp where hair follicles lie dormant but bald patches which have no hair follicles can't regrow hair but you can apply it and give it a try!!!!
ReplyDeleteswati misha again....should i use onion paste or jiuce or not???
ReplyDeletehey Misha...I am not sure of the onion paste coz I have never used it that way but you can surely use onion juice!!!
ReplyDeleteit should be applied on hair also or just scalp
ReplyDeletejust scalp
ReplyDeletei can mix it with egg yogurt....n apply....misha
ReplyDeletesure Misha...it will work with everything so don't worry on that count :)
ReplyDeleteare there any before/after photos available on this remedy?? -eeshan
ReplyDeleteHi Eeshan...no I am sorry but there are no photographs!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Swati,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your information,...
i am also giving it a try.. but not able to make it regular..
I am just rubbing the onion on scalp ..
So want to know will that help?
hi Vikrant...yes rubbing the onion would also help :)
ReplyDeleteHi Swati,
ReplyDeletei have lost a lot hair.. easily i can see there is very less density of hair in the front portion..
how can i see the effects of applyig onion juice.
hey...I would suggest you should take a snap of your front head portion and then use onion juice regular every time you wash your hair for 2weeks to 1 month...I would suggest wait for a month and then you can take another photograph under same conditions...you will definitely find the difference!!!
ReplyDeletehai.
ReplyDeleteI guess its give beter result when u use this remedy on shaved head.
Hi Harish...well I am not very sure everyone would want to shave their heads if they face hair loss!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Harish,...
ReplyDeleteare you very sure on it .. then i would like to implement in that way also.
hi swati swetha here gud info even i m goin to try this every day as m not goin out of my house...so will let u know the difference...and i googled a lot i think it wud definately work...
ReplyDeleteHi Swathi.This is Rajiv... Nice post. I am having hairloss since 2006. I think its due to hereditary reasons. I will start using this. Hope it works out for me and I have new hairs popping out of my head.
ReplyDelete@Swetha do tell me how it does for our hair :) I would love to know!!!
ReplyDelete@Rajiv hopefully this should work but I think you should get a consultation from the doctor too!!!
ReplyDeletehi..
ReplyDeleteI m dpak. i hav been losing my hair since 2 yrs 4m now and my hairs r thinning specially at the front. I read many articles abt onion . I would like 2 know dat how much tim i should continue using onion(paste) coz i hav just lost my hairs on my frontal part. Can i get my thick n long hair back ? In case if i get back then ahen should i stop 2 use it or should i use onion even after geting my hair back. Plz do reply...ok
i wil b posting abt my hair result . thank u......
Dpak
Hey Swathi.. Rajiv again. started using it. i dont know whether it will work out but hair look healthy after i use it. I will keep posting about the results...
ReplyDelete@Dpak use onion till you see some results...using it twice a week is probably fine but if you can use it as frequently as possible!!!!
ReplyDelete@Rajiv I would love to know the results!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Swati,
ReplyDeletei m 31...i have lost a lot hair.. i can see there is very less density of hair in the front portion.......showing very less & thining hairs ............i hv alrady started onion juice from last 2 weeks.... will it really help me...........
With Regards,
NS
@NS if the bald patches are too visible, you should consider visiting a dermatologist to know the exact reason!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi..i would like to know whats the best way to extract the juice. shall i use the juicer? but then will the juicer smell bad?
ReplyDeletehi...I am not sure if the juicer will smell bad but there are pretty high chances of that!!! I would say that grate the onion using a cheese greater and then, squeeze the grated onion and you will get enough juice for applying on the scalp!!! Hal or even quater of an onion is enough for the scalp application :)
ReplyDeleteI dont have a cheese grater:( do have a blender though. n thanks swati for replying so quickly:) can i sleep on it? thanks!! P.S: do you have other tips for thick hair? my hair are very thin :(
ReplyDeleteoh yeah...you can use the blender and then, squeeze the blended onion!!!!
ReplyDeleteand, give me sometime and I shall put up some posts on how to improve hair health :)
Hi Swati.
ReplyDeleteAs per your comments for NS... onion is very less helpful when hair density has reduced a lot...?
hi Vikrant...this is just a measure which can be used along with doctor's advise...this is in no way the prescription for hair growth and I do advise everyone to go and see a doc if the situation seems more serious!!!
ReplyDeletehow exactly am i to use it? :S
ReplyDeletehi Sadaf....extract onion juice and apply it to your scalp!!! I have mentioned how to extract the juice in the post :)
ReplyDeletewhat should be d frequency of d application? daily , twice a week wat??
ReplyDeleteit can be as frequently as you want!!! you just have to shampoo your hair afterward so take that into account :)
ReplyDeleteMast hai yar swati ..
ReplyDeleteI hv used it and it worked .. thnx thnx thnx ..
I was first thinking it as rubbish article (Sorry 4 that). Bt I will now share wid my frnds n all ..
Awesome remedy ... :) :)
thanks :) I am glad it worked for you!!
ReplyDeletemy hair was thick before but i lost its thickness before 7yrs when i suffered from typhoyid now my hair is very thin & dull.can i use grated onion with honey for better result of growing hair. do i need to apply shampoo always after i apply this? myself poulami
ReplyDeletehi swati...thanks 4 ur information..i'm sonu 24 years old female from india..i had very thick n fuller lovely hairs...from past 1 year my hairs fallown off..now i ve thin hair that to my front hair is so thin..and now i'm suffuring from dandruff and also itchy scalp...pls tell does onion juice helps me to come out from all these problems?do i get back my lovely hairs again??really does it work 4 me??pls reply me..
ReplyDeletehi
ReplyDeletedoes it work for dandruff..
ReplyDelete@poulami yes, you will have to shampoo every time you apply this coz onion does stink a lot!!! but, if the hair fall is bad, you should consult a doctor. hope this helps :)
ReplyDelete@Sonu sorry for the delay in reply but I do think it works for dandruff but I am not too sure but this is just a remedy which you can use which might help but it doesn't guarantee your hair would come back so you should consult a doctor too to know the cause of your hair loss if its severe!!! hope this helps :)
ReplyDeleteHey Swati...nice work and wonderful information..i really appreciate ur patience and thanks for quick reply specifically..i have very thin hair and so weak so my friend suggested me to use small red onions..im staying alone and i dnt have a grater or blender to extract the juice...so jus rubbing the onion on scalp will do the trick if not is there a possible way to smash the onion and extract the juice something like that? Also im using head & shoulders to wash the hair..is it useful or any suggestions for a better shapmoo..thank you very much
ReplyDelete@Sasi yes rubbing the onions also do the trick!!! f head and shoulders is suiting your hair, then stick to it...there is no need to change the products often especially when the hair is going through a rough time but if you want a recommendation, you might look at biotique musk root...it is really a great hair mask!!!
ReplyDeletehey ... this is rajesh...
ReplyDeleteiam using this application from four days... and how much time we need to allow the onion juice on scalp ...iam allowing it to 1 hour before washing off... and which shampoo should use to wash off the scalp... iam using nuzen herbal shampoo... how many times i can do this in a week...
hi Rajesh...its been just 4 hours days so please have some patience with this remedy and hair is something which takes years to grow and fall in a second so you need to observe it for long time before concluding it has done good for you or not....and you need not apply it for an hour everyday....15-20 minutes every time you shampoo your hair is fine...if you shampoo your hair every day then its up to you to use it or not but once or twice a week is also fine and regarding shampoo, its pretty much your choice depending on what suits your hair!!!
ReplyDeletedoes it make any problem if i leave it for a long time i mean it 4 over all night......
ReplyDeleteno it doesn't create problem if left all night but it does tend to smell and stink a lot and might give a headache and keeping it 15-30 minutes is also fine for the scalp so its one's choice really but it doesn't change the efficacy of the remedy!!! hair grows in its own sweet time.
ReplyDeleteHi swati ma'am,
ReplyDeleteI apply onion paste at night and morning i wash it with
sometime soap/shampoo or somtime with plain water,
i want to ask, is it necessary to was it with soap/shampoo?
is it any harm if i dont use soap/shampoo, and wash with only water?
it onion juice block the pore of scalpe for regrowing new hair if i dont wash with soap?
or i can use palin water also?
please ma'am, please guide!
Thanks
dinesh.
Hi Dinesh....if you want to use only water to wash off onion, it is possible that the smell of onion will still linger in the hair and onion does smell badly so its up to you whether you want to wash it with shampoo or plain water!!!
ReplyDeleteis this remedy cures androgen alopecia too ???
ReplyDeletehi...I am not sure if this addresses the condition which you talked...androgen alopecia is one of the common types of hair loss but if you are unsure of that, you might want to go to a trichologist or a dermatologist for treatment.
ReplyDelete(Reply of December 15, 2011 5:16 PM)
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with smell,
I want to take more benefit and want to use it daily
But roz baal dhone me darr lagta hai, kyon ki dhone se aur baal nikalte hain
1) To roz pyaz laga kar sirf paani se dhone se agar thoda sa bhi nuksan hota ho to please bataiye (except smell) ?
2) scalp pore (rom chhidra) band to nahi hote?
Ya aur koi nuksan
[and thanks for ur reply. u r doing very good job, god bless u ma’am and fulfill all ur wishes]
@Dinesh no as such onion doesn't really affect the scalp in any other way so if you have no problem with the smell, you can apply it everyday and wash it with hair but if you think that your hair fall problem is increasing, you should visit a doctor...this is just a remedy which may or may not help but a doctor can point out the exact problem as to why you are facing hair fall!!! and,
ReplyDeletethank you so much for your wishes :)
Thanks ma'am :)
ReplyDeletebut i have the hair fall problem from so many years around 9-10 years,
i tested all remedies from doctors and other, And now just onion can help me, i also have some baldness,
i listened that onion can regrow and work for baldness, and after seen your blog, i have full believe that i can thick my hair.
i am using it from last 2-3 months,
i also gain few new hairs but these are very tiny, thin and brown in color,
kindly tell me any idea from which can i make it thicker, dense.
and Merry Christmas to you :)
Dinesh...you can also use mustard oil for thick and dense growth or use ayurvedic oils. They help a lot. And, onion turns the color of the hair into copper as it is rich in sulphur but nothing to worry about it. Or, you can also use sesame oil called gingelly oil in india (til ka tel).
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Ma'am for helping me
ReplyDeleteand i search on net and i got that
biotin is also helpful to regrow hair.
Wow..sure will try this :)
ReplyDeletehi i dont know whom to put this but however i want someone to help me in this regard.
ReplyDeleteam 26 years old and am facing a serious problem with my hair there is stringent itching happens for me everyday by which i see some white substance falling from my head when i rub the substance ....
by which the hair loss is happening .. am afraid in near future i might see my head with no hair .
it would be a great help if someone help in finding a wayout for this .
Awaiting to hear .
Regards,
C.Prakash
Hi Prakash...you would better go to a doctor!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Swathi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post. Will onions help me regain the thick hair that I had. Should I use only mustard oil to prevent the copper color of onion on my hair or can I use ginegely oil too. How frequent should I use this treatment to see fast and better results. Once in a month I apply henna to my hair. Can I continue doing that or should I stop that once I start treating my hair with onion.
hi Rose...you can use this treatment as many times as you want but keeping it to 3 times a week is I think fine....you shouldn't wash your hair too often, that's why and yes, onion is one of the ways to thicken your hair but this is not the only way and this is only a remedy and not a cure, please don't forget that. It shows results in 1-2 months depending on the growth of your hair. And, you can use mustard or Gingelly oil, either will work and you can use onion juice with henna too if you want. It will give your hair a nice glossy brown color. Btw, are you sure about the quality of your henna??? That can also be one of the reasons of your hair fall if henna is not pure so make sure your henna is of a good and reliable quality.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for ur immediate reply. I use henna leaves fresh from my garden, hope this would not affect the hair.
ReplyDeleteBy the way which onion should I use, the regular big ones or the smaller ones.Is it that I only have to use a particular kind, What are the pros and cons of the different kind of onions.
Eagerly looking forward to start this treatment, and hope I get the desired results.
Hey Rose...if you are using leaves fresh from the garden then that's perfectly fine and you should use the red onions. big ones would be easy to use as they have more juice than the smaller ones and red ones have more sulphur content than the white ones. sulphur is the main reason why onions work for hair.
ReplyDeleteHi Swati, An update after using onions for about a month in my scalp. There is a great improvement in the texture of my hair, and I see new hairs coming out. The rate of hair growth is also good, Hope I ll regain the thickness of my hair, once all these new ones grow to its full length. Thanks a lot for your wonderful post and it has helped me a lot. Thank you once again.
Deletehi Rose...I am so happy that this worked out for you. would love to hear more from you :)
Deletehi swathi i want my hair to be black in color. during the application of onion juice , can i mix any oil with the juice to get rid off copper color??is there any particular oil which remains the hair color natural?
ReplyDeleteyes, you can mix sesame oil or mustard oil to maintain the natural color of your hair...they both work great!!!
ReplyDeletethank a lot !!!
ReplyDeletehi swathi grate work from your side.. from yesterday night i applied onion juice on my scalp and washed my hair today morning i took photo of my scalp today .. I will continue this process for one month regularly.. i lost my hair in front portion lets see the diff after a month.. u r doing a grate job by helping others i will put my share in that thanks for inspiring mee too.. my name is naveen

Deletenaveen here swathi i am keeping the onion juice on my scalp and leaving it for whole night and morning i am taking bath is it ok or it leads to any hair loss.. please let me know thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteno Naveen...its not likely to lead to any hair loss...but make sure that your scalp is always clean and healthy!!!
Deleteokie thanks for ur suggesion i will update u after one month and swathi.. does onion juice also make white hair black because i am 29 and i have lot of white hair.. (naveen)
ReplyDeleteno Naveen.. it will not turn your hair black.
ReplyDeleteHi Swati,
ReplyDeleteI am very sad bcoz nwadays i cought heavy cold & cough so i couldnt able to shower my hair daily..and nw just cured.. after that my hair fall started.
can i use this onion juice treatment? I like the normal hair color ..am wrrg that it will change my hair color,,pls reply soon..
Hi Mithra...onion jucie does bring out the coppery shade but if you mix it with sesame oil or mustard oil, it doesn't really change the hair color!!! btw, you can drink this everyday to improve hair fall problem: http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-increase-hair-volume.html. You can do this during cold too :)
DeleteHeard castor oil helps hair regrowth. Does this work?
Deleteyes, it does help with hair growth but castor oil should never be used alone as it is too concetrated...mix it with another oil in a ratio of 25:75 with 75 being the carrier oil like almond or coconut or whatever you like.
DeleteThanks. Can I mix it with extra virgin olive oil in the same proportion
DeletePls advice on nettle oil and wheat germ oil for hair regrowth
Deletehello...yes, you can mix virgin olive oil too if it suits your hair!!!
Deleteregarding the nettle oil, nettle is a very useful herb for hair regrowth and is equivalent to rosemary so it should be used in a diluted form with the regular hair oil.
I know wheatgerm oil is rich in Vitamin E and is extremely beneficial for skin but I have not hear any uses of it for hair yet.
Hope this helps!!
Thankyou
DeleteHeard that DHT is the main cause of hair loss for men. Pls let me know which herbal oil really helps fight DHT production
ReplyDeletewell, DHT is a hormone produced inside the body so I really don't think any external application of oil will be able to counteract its effects!!!
Deletehi..i had lost my hair in the age of 3/4y for a disease. From that time my parents shaved my head in per wee nd its stop in my age 10/11year. At last few hair grow in my head. But its thin. Now i m 19year old nd my hair falling too.

DeleteSwathi can I make onion juice for one week and store it and use it.. Or is it compulsory to prepare juice every day and apply it on scalp..please sujesst (naveen)

Deletethats fine swathi... no problem thats not a bigdeal i ll prepare every day...(naveen)
ReplyDeleteSwathi,
ReplyDeleteYour post on the onion that helps regrow hair is very interesting. I'm experiencing hair loss for about 2 years+ now and I'm still looking for a solution.

ReplyDeleteI am not sure if it will help you entirely but you can definitely give this a try and you should massage your scalp everyday with or without oil (your choice). That helps revive the hair follicles. And, one more thing which I will advise you is this: http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2010/01/how-to-increase-hair-volume.html
Deleteand, do check out other articles in hair growth section in the hair care Wednesdays above. Hope this helps :)

DeleteHi swati ,its nida from Pakistan. I am 38 years I am very much worried about this issue of hair fall . I want to have best results in minimum time . I have no issue of smell .Can i use it daily for best result? What about garlic juice ? Is it also good ?
ReplyDeletehi Nida..yes you can use this daily too but can you wash your hair everyday. that's not such a good idea!!! and, garlic juice is also good for hair so you can mix these two and then use it :)
Deletehi i m from india.my hair care regime is after washing and drying hair i apply onion juice on scalp and then do a castor oil and coconut oil mixed with vitamin e tablet massage .then i dont wash and then the next day i again apply onion juice and massage as oil is still on my head and then the third day i apply a paste of onion,egg 0r curd on head as hair mask and then wash with matrix shampoo .is this routine ok

Deletehi, is it sure that there will not be any colour change of hair on use of any oil like sesame oil with onion juice...coz i dont want to change my colour of black hair.
ReplyDeleteplease reply me soon
hi Mahi...onion does change the color of the hair to shining copper but I guess the color shouldn't change if you use sesame or mustard oil.
Deletethank u ... i started applying onion juice with sesame oil..
Deletehi swati i dont have any prob with the smell and stickiness but just worried that this stickiness shuld not harm my hair and which part of the egg to apply on hair or can i apply the whole egg
ReplyDeleteno, it wouldn't harm the hair. you can use whole of the egg or if you are too particular about it, you can go for egg yolk.
DeleteHi Swati...Quick question..sorry if its a repeat!..Onion juice is for hair growth alone here or it can be considered even for re growth (in bald areas)?
ReplyDeleteAnd also, very curious to know the latest update from people used...Please publish if you have the replies..like Mahesh, Ramesh, Rajiv, naveen and Tyanz.
Thanks again...very promising advise for sure.
baldness can occur due to countless reasons so yo can use this for bald areas but I can't say that it will show difference or not. but, it wouldn't do anything bad for sure.
DeleteI have not received any update from anyone so I shall surely let you know whenever I get an update :)
Can the onion rub be used for womed that are experiencing post pregnancy hair loss? Should I just wait and see if the hair will return on its own?
ReplyDeleteMD
no harm in trying it :) I can't say it will make a difference.
DeleteHi Swati,
ReplyDeleteGreat Job and advice, my friends and relatives also suggested same treatment. hope it will work. but people are continously asking you the prepration method and benefits from july'2010 onwards but no one is giving positive or negative feedback of this, you too contiously giving confidence and advice. but is there any proven research and studies about this. we have confident about this to use. so many articles and reviews are there. please tell us how many positive feedback you have received? it has wondeful impurities.
home remedies re just to be tried and tested and if they suit you, they can be continued...there is no proper research or theory backing these remedies but if this helps, onion is rich in sulphur which is one of the most important minerals needed for hair growth which is why it helps with hair regrowth but it is equally possible that it might not work for you and home remedies do take time to show the results. the only positive thing is that it doesn't hurt trying :)
DeleteHi Swati.....Nice Article very well written and happy to know that it worked for you. I wanted to ask you if i can apply onion juice with olive oil in the night and leave it for the entire night and then wash it in the morning. Will this work or will be bad for my hair????
ReplyDeletehey Snigdha...yes, you can do it that way...in fact even I used to keep it for entire night and was off in the morning and, don't worry, it won't do anything bad to your hair :)
DeleteThanks Dear.....will try this out and will get back to you soon with hopefully good results!!!:)
DeleteI really hope it works out for you, Snigdha :)
Deletehey swati...u r doing such a good job buddy...need sme advise frm u,my hair is getting thinner day by day nd they r shrinking too..i started balanced nutricious diet but no difference,,wanna go for onion now...can i try onion daily.plzzzz..i want fast hair growth...nd what bout my shrinking hair??
ReplyDeletewaiting for reply
hi...I am so sorry for late reply. thank you so much for your kind words :) you can try out his daily but then you will have to wash your hair daily which is not such a good idea so may be alternate days would do. and, anyhow the hair does take time to show difference. hope this helps :) I didn't get what you mean by shrinking?? means, its reducing in length???
DeleteHi, I am 25 and i am facing hair loss from past 1 year and now a days this problem is annoying me as i have tried a lot of Ayurvedic and other type of medicine.
ReplyDeleteSomebody says it is due to change of location.
i have started applying onion juice on my hairs as my barber suggest me to do it, he told me that one man he knows have the same problem and he had lost a lot of hairs bur within 3-4 weeks he have recovered magical results by applying onion juice.
Please tell me proper method to do this as i am also doing it.
I simply apply it when i go to bed at night and wash my hairs in morning with Head & shoulder shampoo .
Please let me know the right method and timing to do this anyone...............
yes, your routine is fine but give it sometime to show results. a month is minimum. sometimes, the water at a place doesn't really suit us and ends in prolonged hair loss. hope this answers your question :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I am 21 years old and I am losing hair but i have been trying the onion juice remedy for 2 weeks now, my hair fall has stopped but i still have a bald spot. Is it possible that i can get hair back in my baldspot.
ReplyDeleteThanks and awaiting your reply.
hey....I am not sure if it will work for bald spots but you can give it a try....the bald spots have generally dead hair follicles or no hair follicles so it might not be possible to stimulate hair growth but you can give it a try and see if there is any change in two-three months.
DeleteIs there a way to grow back hair in bald spots.
DeleteI am not sure about that but I guess a doctor can help you better in this regards :)
DeleteI have been using onion juice for about 5 months. I'm a guy with androgenetic alopecia or MPB. My hairline was receding badly and i lost hair at the sides of my head at the temples. Onion juice works. I have regrowth. Good regrowth. It took about a month to notice tiny blonde hairs. Now the hairs are finally slowly starting to get thicker and darker.My hairline is not near great yet but it looks better every month. Also the thinning patch at the crown which was about 3cm wide is way thicker.I just cut an onion in half and rub it on my head and leave on for half hour and wash out.(my head is shaved so that may be why i have good results?) It works for me so I'm sticking with it.Ps - All shedding has stopped.
ReplyDeleteI am really glad it worked for you :)
Deletehi, my hair are not growing longer can onion make my hair grow faster and longer and how much time it would take to become longer....?
ReplyDeleteyes, onion might definitely help in growing your hair longer but it takes time for hair to grow as it grows only half an inch per month so give it sometime to show results :)
Deletethanx swati for ur advice i hope that my hair will grow longer very soon becoz my boyfriend like longe hair but my hair are short and one more thing i feel very lucky that i have very soft and shiny hair...... :) thank u so much swati..................... nd god bless u.............. may u get everything in ur life(all kind of happinessssssssss).................. bye..tc
Deletecan onion make my hair longer and thicker and how much time would it take to get longer?
ReplyDeleteyes, it will definitely help in hair growth but it takes a long time for hair to grow so if you want to see some appreciable difference in your hair you have to give it minimum of 6 months!!!
DeleteHello....I have tried lemon juice, treatments, diluted apple cider vinegar treatments and have not seen any results...Anytime I touch my hair...hairs fall out...its such a bad problem that I have to keep it all up all the time so my hair do not fall out…my hair fall is really embarrassing and I do not know what I can do...I went to a dermatologist she diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis and gave me a steroid liquid drops to be applied to the scalp and a stronger dosage of Nizoral shampoo. Been trying that for months...and nothing has been working...I have also noticed severe thinning of the hair and can see a bald patch…I am constantly itching my head and in dire need for some relief…a day does not go by where I don’t want to scratch out my hair to death …even when shampooing my hair falls…and after I shampoo it the next day of the next couple hours I begin to itch…I really do not know what to do and am really at my wits end. For a girl this is really embarrassing and has also taken a big toll on my self-esteem and confidence level…. please do help me…!
ReplyDeletehey...I am really sorry to hear all this. it really seems like a terrible problem and I am sure that you have the problem you have been diagnosed with. have you tried applying onion? I am not really sure how much will that help either but do give it a try. meanwhile, do not use vinegar on your hair. it dries out the scalp more so it will not really help. and, neither will lemon juice help. it also is drying. try to massage your scalr everyday for 15-30 minutes with light hand movements and try not to use nails on the scalp and itch it.
Deletealso, where do you live? which city?
I shall definitely try answering your question in detail. give me a few days :) and, don't worry. we shall do something about it.
hello swati seen your blog very interesting. ii want to use onion use on my hair and to restore the colour youtold to add mustard oil aling with it. so if i take 2 table spoons of onion juice how much should i use oil????? secondly can i use fingers or only with cotton balls?? nidhi
ReplyDeletehey Nidhi...thanks a lot :) yes, you can us emustard oil to preserve the true color of your hair!!! you can mix equal amounts of onion juice with the hair oil but remember that the juice is watery and doesn't mix well with the oil so just take care that you apply the juice to the scalp while oiling properly.
Deletealso, again a good point :) few days back, I would have said fingers are best but I am fast changing my mind about that. try using cotton ball to apply the oil to the entire length of your hair and not only scalp. when you finish applying the oil to the scalp, take the cotton and wrap it around thin sections of your hair and pass it along the length to apply the oil. this covers the hair strands well in the oil and doesn't over do it :) hope this helps.
Hey swati,i want to ask that will my hair become thicker and fuller if I use egg and honey conditioning
ReplyDeletehey...yes, this mask does help if used on a weekly basis but you need to also take care of your hair in many other ways: http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2012/04/how-to-start-caring-for-your-hair-hair.html
Deletehope this helps :)
HI,
ReplyDeleteI'm really scared to loose my hair.. I'm only 22 and my hair is getting thin. This since Jan 1 I decided to change my diet and I completely stopped drinking soda pops but water and milk. I drink 2.8 litres of water a day since Jan 1 till now and will continue for the rest of my life. I eat spinach and onion especially carrots and all other vegetables.I also take multivitamins. I sleep kind of late sometimes but I still get long hours of sleep. I don't smoke or drink. I play basketball and go to the gym and again I drink a lot of water after a good exercises. I just wondering if I put onion juice in my frontal scalp which is where my hair is getting thinner will I have to do it everyday until it grows back thick? and if it gets back to a thicker hair will I still have to put onion in my scalp? I use L'oreal men thickening shampoo twice a week, should I use it more than twice a week? would I have to use it to wash the onion juice off my scalp?
hey...you have really got a good routine...yes, you can use onion on the frontal scalp and you can use it daily as well but make sure that you wash it off because it really stinks a lot...try to use a mild shampoo or it would be great if you get an organic one. you can use this according to your ease...up to 2-3 times a week is also fine. after the hair growth (which will take a while), you need not continue with the remedy but take care of your hair as a maintenance. hope this helps :)
DeleteHey Swati,
ReplyDeleteI realy found ur blog interesting....Now my question is , I have got decent hair growth but not thick as I would like it. I have a length jus past my shoulders. I realy want my hair long and thicker. Can i use onion paste? there's no different between the juice and paste right? And does it work as well? What are the chances of the treatment not working because I dont want to go bald after I wash it off in the shower(laughs) . And just a final question I loved the fact you mentioned that it gives a copper shade. Does it change your hair colour right after the first application? Cuz my hairs black/brown!!!!..pls reply back!
hey Sann...yes, this generally helps to regrow hair in the bald area but you can also try to use it for volume...I am pretty sure it would not harm the hair if it will not help!!!yes, paste and juice work in the same way, just that juice is easily absorbed compared to the paste. the color change happens when you use it regularly not from the first application.
DeleteThank you so much for your reply Swati :) ...The Onion applied on the head does not give you a burning sensation though right because its red onion as it burns the eyes? Cuz I am looking forward to starting the treatment. I plan to do it once every week would that be efficient? Also at the same time I oil my hair once a week as well with a mixture of Olive oil, castor oil, coconut oil and amla oil!!..Can i stil continue with that routine once i start the onion treatment? Will doing both treatments every week for about 6 months prove good results? I want the colour to show to but in 6 months doing it every week in wont become tooooo bright i hope right? because I dont want my hair to turn red. Thank you :)
DeleteHello everyone, i m a 22 year old guy. My hair started falling at the age of 15. I didnt do anything initially to repair the hair loss so caused. But i tried to keep my hair longer to cover those bald patches well. My hair looked fuller then. But at the age of 22, my hair does not look at all thick.
ReplyDeleteI m sick of these receding hairlines.
I also concentrated on iron rich food, to remain dehydrated.
I started applying bhringraj oil. It has helped in bringing the small hair roots in those baldy patches. But i want this head to look full of hair.
Please advise me as to whether i should apply onion juice mixed with bhringraj or I should apply only onion juice.
Please advise.
hi...continue with bhringraj oil and you can mix it with onion juice whenever you apply it!!! also, remember that hair takes long time to grow out so please be patient with the remedies and as you already are seeing difference, you should be happy and relieved :) also, I would recommend that apply oil on every alternate day and massage your scalp well when you apply the oil. I would love to hear the results :)
DeleteI am so excited! My hair is thickening and growing thanks to onion juice. I have tried so many things to stop my hair from breaking. Nothing worked. I had... note the word HAD...11 bald spots in my scalp due to excessive breakage. I stumbled on the onion juice treatment while surfing Net. I started my onion juice regime in late March. By the end of April, 8 of my bald spots filled in with 1/2 inch of hair. The rest of my formally shoulder length hair which broken off to a mere half inch is now 1 inch long. Moreover my hair no longer breaks nor fill the sink when I comb it. I am so shocked. Onion really works. I have 3 more bald spots that I hope fills in over the next month. If this success rate continues, I expect to have a thick head of healthy long hair by the end of 2012. All thanks to onion juice. I have hair!! Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear about these results...thanks a lot for reporting them :) yes, onion juice helps a lot!!! and, all the best for good hair growth.
