Onion juice, coconut oil and aloe vera gel suggested as home remedy for hair growth
A home remedy of onion juice, coconut oil and aloe vera gel is said to improve hair quality and strengthen hair, as an alternative to costly products.
Women often try one thing or another to help hair grow and to style it. Some use hair masks, others follow a hair care routine. When hair becomes very dry, various salon hair treatments are also tried to soften it.
It is said that the effect of such treatments lasts only a short while. The hair looks very good for a few days, but a month later it turns dry and rough again. The same happens with expensive hair oils and serums containing chemicals. Hair looks good for a short time and then returns to what it was.
When a hair problem worsens, it should be properly treated rather than ignored, it has been said. Instead of relying on expensive products every time, home remedies have been recommended. The claim is that home remedies improve the quality of hair and make it stronger.
In this context, the use of onion juice has been described. Onion is generally added to food for flavour. But it is claimed to be very beneficial for hair, health and skin as well, and that using it makes hair thicker and stronger.
Three ingredients are needed for this remedy: onion, coconut oil and aloe vera gel. First, peel the onion, cut it into medium-sized pieces, put them in a mixer jar and grind them to a fine paste. Then strain the paste to extract the juice.
Add coconut oil and aloe vera gel to the strained onion juice and mix well. Apply the mixture from the roots to the tips of the hair and massage gently. After leaving it on for an hour, rinse the hair clean with water. It is advised that hair should always be washed with a mild shampoo. For thick hair, the mixture is to be applied once or twice a week.
On coconut oil, it is said that both women and men have regularly applied it to their hair since olden times. The claim is that it gives hair the nourishment it needs and improves the quality of damaged hair. Aloe vera gel is recommended to protect against dandruff, irritation and infection of the scalp.
After applying onion juice, gentle massage of the scalp is advised. It is said that massage helps improve blood circulation and cleans the scalp.
