How to Prepare Onion Hair Oil:

How to Apply:
Take onion oil and put it on your scalp. Massage it gently for 10 to 15 minutes with your finger tips in a circular motion. Cover your head with a warm towel and rest for an hour or so. After that wash your hair thoroughly using a herbal shampoo.
Repeat this exercise 2-3 times a day. you will see the results in 3 to 4 weeks.
Note:
Some people might notice some irritation while directly applying onion pulp or juice directly on your hair. So it is better to use it along with oil as described above.

Thanks for sharing the details. It is very helpful. Can you please suggest an easy way to separate oil from mixture. Also, can you please suggest the ratio of onion and coconut oil.
Hi Saba,
Thanks for reading the blog and giving your comments.
I know it is tough to separate onion paste from oil, but believe me the effort is worth it.
There are steel mesh you will find it sore, or you can use cheesecloth to separate it.
I would suggest using 4 medium size onion with 200 ml of coconut oil.
Other option is to make onion hair oil:
Take 1/2 kg onion and turn it into fine paste. squeeze the juice out of it using a cloth. Take equal amount of oil to the onion juice and heat it on low flame, add the onion juice and curry leaves to it. once you get a nice boil switch off the gas. Add dry hibiscus flower to the oil. Let the oil rest for a night. Add some drops of Tea tree or Lavender oil to the mixture.
Hope this helps.
