Benefits of Using Onion Oil for Hair Growth

While it might sound surprising, research supports the age-old belief that onion oil can be a potent ally in the fight against hair loss and thinning hair.

According to a research study published in Wiley Online Library, a group who washed their hair with onion juice experienced more hair growth than those who washed it with just water. Men also appeared to experience a great benefit in the form of quick hair growth.

Onion oil for hair is not the onion essential oil or its seed oil. It is a different formulation specially prepared from the onion bulbs for hair growth. Onion juice and oil is a known remedy for healthy hair, specifically for hair loss. It’s been used for decades as a home remedy for hair fall.

Benefits of Onion Oil for Hair Growth

The following are some of the ways that onion oil can help with hair growth

• Onion oil helps in optimizing hair growth cycle due to the presence of plenty of antioxidants. These antioxidants particularly work for boosting the function of certain enzymes that work together in preventing hair fall.
• Onions are high in dietary sulfur, a nutritional element essential for our body. Sulfur is found within amino acids, which are components of protein. Proteins and especially keratin, which is known to be sulfur-rich, are essential for hair growth. Onion oil can provide extra sulfur to support strong and thick hair, thus preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth.
• The sulfur from onions can also help promote collagen production (main structural protein). Collagenin turn helps the production of healthy skin cells for hair growth.
• Apply onion oil on your hair and scalp to increase blood supply to the hair follicles, which in turn improves hair growth.
• Onion oil also prevents breakage, split ends and thinning of hair. Other nutrients present in onion prevent oxidation of hair. It also maintains the regular pH balance of the hair; thus becoming an effective grey hair remedy.
• Onion oil for hair nourishes your scalp and can be used as a conditioner, before shampooing. It acts as a natural conditioner that can prevent dryness and controls frizz.
• Onion oil for hair is also useful if you want to increase the length of your hair, it is a cost-saving solution which will make your hair strong and healthy and will also promote quick hair growth.
• Regular use of onion oil in your crown area can also prevent bacterial infections or dandruff.

Note: Onion oil can help stimulate and increase hair growth, but it’s not known to reverse any hair loss-related condition. That would require a proper hair loss treatment plan which should ideally be made after a doctor has examined you properly. Additionally, if you have an allergy to onions, you should avoid onion juice on your scalp
