Are you worried about a receding hairline or bald patches? Do you feel your hair is becoming thinner or grayer? When people notice their hair is changing, this can be a blow to their confidence.
Our hair is often a part of our identity, so we might go to great lengths to preserve it. This natural home remedy might not sound that appealing, but it has been a successful treatment for hair loss for decades.
Onion and onion juice can help you re-grow your hair. Read on to find out how and why it works.
How it works
Onion is rich in sulfur. This mineral is one of the main building blocks of hair. It improves blood circulation and provides the hair follicles with sufficient nourishment.

Furthermore, it contains the enzyme catalase, which is an anti-oxidant that can prevent premature graying for some people. Onion’s potential as a potent home remedy for hair loss has also been studied scientifically.
In 2002, the Journal of Dermatology published a small study that looked into the use of onion juice for alopecia areata (an autoimmune disease that presents with patchy hair loss).
Participants who applied onion juice twice daily for two months experienced much better hair re-growth rates compared to those who only used tap water. Men had better success with the treatment than did women.
