Healthy, longer hair can sometimes feel impossible, but this old-school onion hair oil is a real game-changer for a lot of women. No fancy chemicals, just pure, natural goodness—straight from your kitchen! Here’s how you can make it and start seeing the magic for yourself.
Why Onion Oil Works
Onions are packed with sulfur and antioxidants, which help boost hair follicles, reduce breakage, and even fight dandruff. If you’re looking for natural ways to make your hair thicker and longer, this recipe’s worth a try.
What You’ll Need
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Red onions | 2-3 medium |
| Coconut oil | 3-4 tablespoons |
| Castor oil (optional) | 1 tablespoon |
| Essential oil (like lavender, optional) | Few drops |
Step-by-Step Recipe
1. Prepare the Onion Juice
- Peel and chop 2–3 red onions into small chunks.
- Put them in a blender with a little water, just enough to blend.
- Blend well till you get a thick paste.
- Now, take a clean muslin cloth or fine strainer. Squeeze out all the juice from the onion paste into a bowl.
2. Heat the Oils
- In a small pan, add 3–4 tablespoons coconut oil.
- If you want even thicker, shinier hair, add 1 tablespoon castor oil too.
- Heat the oils on very low flame for about 1–2 minutes. Don’t let it smoke.
3. Mix Onion Juice
- Once the oil’s warm (not hot), turn off the heat.
- Pour in the fresh onion juice and mix well.
- Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil if the smell bothers you.
4. Strain (Optional, but recommended)
- Some people prefer to strain the oil mix again to make sure there are no onion bits left. Use a fine mesh strainer if you like.
5. Store Properly
- Pour your homemade onion hair oil into a clean glass bottle.
- Keep it in a cool, dry place or the fridge if you want it to last longer.
How to Use
- Massage: Pour a little oil onto your palms, and massage gently into your scalp for 5–10 minutes.
- Length: Apply whatever’s left on your palms down the lengths of your hair.
- Timing: Leave it for at least 1 hour (overnight is even better if you can manage).
- Wash Off: Wash with a gentle shampoo. You might need two rinses to get the smell out!
How Often?
| Hair Type | How Often to Apply |
|---|---|
| Oily scalp | 1–2 times a week |
| Dry scalp | 2–3 times a week |
| Severe hair fall | 3 times a week |
Tips for Best Results
- Don’t skip the essential oil if the onion smell bugs you.
- Consistency is key! It usually takes at least 4–6 weeks to start seeing real changes.
- Patch test before first use, just to be safe.
- If your scalp’s sensitive, you can dilute the onion juice with more oil.
Real Talk
This isn’t some overnight miracle. It takes time, and yeah, the smell is a bit much for some folks. But if you stick with it, you’ll notice your hair looking shinier, softer, and even thicker with regular use.
