Introduction

 

Red onions, a common ingredient found in Indian kitchens are commonly used as a natural remedy to tackle concerns like hair fall and breakage. Rich in nutrients like potassium, sulphur and antioxidants, red onions are proven to have a positive impact on the hair growth cycle. And now, recent studies have scientifically confirmed the effectiveness of onion in promoting hair growth and reducing hair fall.

 

A study published in the Journal of Dermatology found that applying onion juice to the scalp improved hair growth in 74% of participants after just 2 weeks of use. Another study conducted by the Department of Dermatology at MCM Dav College, India, showed that using onion juice as a hair rinse resulted in a significant reduction in hair fall. With these findings, it's no wonder that onion is becoming a popular ingredient in hair care products, including hair oils.

 

If you ask us, we are all for including onion in our hair care regime for stronger, thicker hair. And one of our favourite hair care products that incorporates the goodness of onions is the Parachute Advansed Onion Hair Oil. What makes this hair oil our favourite? It is the fact that it is boosted by the goodness of coconut. This allows the hair oil to penetrate up to ten times deeper and nourish the hair at the roots, making them stronger and less prone to breakage and damage.

 

Having said that, in this blog, we'll explore some of the best ways in which you can include onions into your regular hair care routine for healthy hair.

5 Best Ways to Include Onion in Your Hair Care Regimen

 

Onion Juice

One of the simplest and most effective ways to use onion for hair growth is by applying onion juice directly to your scalp. Simply grate a medium-sized onion and extract the juice using a cheesecloth. Massage the juice into your scalp and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water. Repeat this process twice a week for the best results.

 

Onion Hair Mask

 

For a more intense treatment, you can make a hair mask using onion juice and other ingredients like coconut-based hair oil, such as the Parachute Advansed Gold Coconut Hair Oil. 

Step 1: Take 2 to 3 onions and roughly chop them into quarters.

Step 2: Blend the onions well and strain them into a bowl.

Step 3: Add a few teaspoons of coconut-based hair oil like the Parachute Advansed Gold Coconut Hair Oil and mix well.

Step 4: Apply the mixture to your scalp and hair, cover it with a shower cap and let it sit for 30 minutes.

Step 5: Rinse it off with lukewarm water and shampoo as usual.

 

For best results, you can repeat this process once a week.

 

Onion and Garlic Hair Rinse

 

Onion and garlic are two of the commonest ingredients found in most Indian kitchens. We know all about their flavours but not many know that they are also highly effective in reducing hair fall and boosting the hair growth cycle for stronger, thicker hair. While there are many ways to include these wonder ingredients in your hair care regimen, here we will tell you about how you can make a simple hair rinse.

Step 1: Boil a small-sized red onion and 4 to 5 cloves of garlic in 2 cups of water for about ten minutes.

Step 2: Let the mixture cool and strain the liquid.

Step 3: Use the liquid as a final rinse after shampooing your hair.

 

The sulphur content in onion and garlic can improve blood circulation to the scalp, promote hair growth and reduce hair fall.

 

Onion and Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse

 

Another great way to include onion in your hair care routine is by using it with apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is an ingredient known to strengthen hair strands and give them a healthy lustre. You can create a simple yet effective hair rinse that not only strengthens your hair at the roots but also lowers the pH levels of your scalp and hair, to give your strands a healthy shine.

 

Step 1: Blend a small or medium-sized onion and strain the juice.

Step 2: Mix this onion juice with an equal part of apple cider vinegar.

Step 3: Use this mixture as a final rinse after shampooing your hair.

 

We recommend using this hair rinse every time you shampoo for thick, strong and shiny hair.

 

Parachute Advansed Onion Hair Oil

 

Finally, for those who prefer a more convenient and less messy option, try the Parachute Advansed Onion Hair Oil. This hair oil is enriched with the goodness of onions and coconut, which work together to improve blood circulation to the scalp, promote hair growth, and reduce hair fall.

 

Take a small amount of Parachute Advansed Onion Hair Oil and massage it into your scalp using gentle circular motions, working your way down the strands. Repeat this process till you are sure you have covered all sections of your scalp and coated every strand. Now, you can leave it on for about 30 to 45 minutes or overnight. For best results, we recommend you use this hair oil at least thrice a week to reduce hair fall and accelerate the hair growth cycle for stronger and thicker hair.
