Onion Juice For Hair Growth

**snoopy** · November 8th, 2009, 08:06 PM

.."Onion Juice" brings memories for me, for some time I used onion paste on my hair for hair loss ..well not sure if it worked but, it smelled "yack" .....i tried to ignore the smell and still tried it on for a while but .....was not able to continue at all

... thinking of it is making me nauseous

A friend of mine shove her head o_O

and her har was growing really fast

so shetold me she was using the water whe she boiled onions to soak he hair for an hour or something like that
every week

maybe that helps?

or maybe as her heir was shorter, the nutrients traveled a shorter way and that made her hair grow like that (:

There was a thread a few months ago where it came up... I think someone was saying their Persian grandmother swore by it or something.

I've been using onion juice on my hair. What I've noticed:
-shedding decresed to minimum;
- shiny and strong hair;
- some baby hairs all around;
- and the most important- it made my hair grow faster

Warning! The smell is horrible and lasts ages

Just out of curiosity, how do you get the juice out of the onion? Can you mix other things in to mask the terrible smell. I would definatly try it is it wasn't for the icky smell

What kind of onion did you use? Any particular kind?

Like red as opposed to yellow, or even white...

I use my cheese grater

then I mix the juice with some anti hair loss lotion.

ETA:
I think only white onion works for it. I might be wrong though.

I'm very happy that your hair is growing more and faster

but

won't using MSM topically have the same effect without the smell??

Hmm to be honest, I've tried everything and onion is the only thing that works on me. I don't really care about my hair's length. I just don't want to get bald too early

NO ... none of us do.

I was wondering if its just the sulfur in the onion that helps or other factors (calcuim, Vitamin C and iron )

What were the intervals for your application? Did you keep track or just did it before washes?
