How onion oil benefits your hair in ways you didn’t know
Here’s a fact: An onion a day may keep people away, but it will ensure your hair stays thick and strong. Now, who wouldn’t want that? After all, this pungent flavored vegetable is quite nutrient dense – strong enough to treat bald spots, nourish scalp and add shine to your tresses.
Benefits of onion oil
- Onion oil is loaded with antioxidants which work with certain enzymes for preventing hair fall. Plus, it helps optimize the hair growth cycle and gradually treat mild cases of alopecia.
- Enriched with sulfur, this magical potent prevents the formation of split ends and thereby reduces hair breakage. The sulfur also works at nourishing follicles and encouraging a healthy hair regrowth.
- The nutrients present in onion oil help prevent oxidation of hair whilst also maintaining the pH balance of hair. The last bit helps avoid premature greying.
- It does an incredible job at nourishing your scalp and improving blood circulation which ensures thicker hair growth.
- It’s an ideal remedy for anyone suffering from infections or dandruff as regular use of this anti-bacterial oil improves scalp hygiene.
- Onion oil can work as a conditioning agent prior to shampooing. It controls frizz and prevents dryness.
- You can mix onion oil with any other carrier oil, such as almond oil or coconut oil for combined benefits.
2. Onion Oil For Dandruff: Nourishing and soothing, this oil with its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties keeps the scalp healthy by combating dandruff, lice and infections. Coupled with Vitamin E, the light weight oil gets instantly absorbed into your dried out, frizzy strands to protect hair and restore lost nutrients to your scalp. Add to that, it locks in moisture and guarantees you a good night’s rest sans the dryness and itching.
3. Usage - Take a few drops. Massage into your scalp to let the roots absorb it. Keep it for a few hours or overnight. Wash off with a good mild shampoo.
Effect - My scalp is itchy, dandruff prone, while my hair is super-curly, frizzy, and constantly dry. What an amazing combination! So clearly, nobody can blame me for trying out as many products as possible for managing my hair. Well, I started using Mamaearth Onion Hair Oil with high hopes, looking at all the brilliant ingredients, including the much-acclaimed 'revolutionary' ingredient of Redensyl that is supposed to target the roots and improve hair growth. It takes a couple of months to show results though, so it is no use being impatient while using this product.
