Very long back I had done a post on onion for hair growth. So, I had mentioned that I had been facing hair fall in the months of November to January and gradually my hair fall did reduce after using the Biotique Musk Root hair pack. But, my hair had thinned to quite and extent so I recalled that I could use onion juice remedy. So, I used it every time I used to oil my hair and my hair thickened visibly within 15 days.
How to use onion for hair?
An easier way to use onion juice for hair is to mix it with the hair oil. I grated onion and squeezed the grated onion to extract the juice. Yes, the whole process is a little difficult coz it stings the eyes badly and onion does stink badly too 🙁 So, mix onion juice with hair oil. You can mix in the proportion of 50-50 or 75-25 for onion juice-hair oil. Both would not mix properly coz juice is watery and water and oil don’t mix well so shake the whole mixture well while applying. Start by applying the mixture on the scalp first properly and then apply to the complete hair. It will stink a lot definitely but trust me results are definitely worth it. Using essential oils may be useful in reducing the stink of onion so you can try that. Another advice I can give is to use rosemary essential oil too (5 drops per application) coz Rosemary is amazing for hair growth.
You can also do a hot oil treatment using this mixture every time you are about to wash your hair. You can keep this mixture overnight or for at least an hour before shampooing off. Another thing I would mention is that do not worry about the onion stink remaining in the hair coz it gets washed off while shampooing and conditioning the hair. So, don’t worry about that. You can also mix onion juice in the hair packs you use weekly. It also helps with controlling hair loss.
Oooh I love beauty/science experiments! Thank you : )
How long can i use the onion and oil mixture? wont onion gets contaminated if preserved? or should i use onion juice and oil each time when I use?
please check out the following post for better details:
http://perfectskincareforyou.com/2014/02/onion-juice-for-hair-growth-updates.html
also, I have not advised to preserve onion juice. It must be squeezed fresh each time.
Ma’am,ii have been using this onion juice treatment continuously for about 4 days .What i did was i massaged it on scalp & rinsed it off with lukewarm triphala water.But my mother told me that the juice should be rinsed off with a shampoo other wise it will create fungal patches on the scalp!
So what natural washing alternative i should use instead of a shampoo??

Hello Swati,
I was having severe hairfall couple of months back. May be coz i was changing shampoos…or diet falls…..a friend of mine suggested i use Trichup hair oil and gradually my hairfall has become less and thanks for that friend. I also read about onion to the hair..but did not know how to use…and after reading your post am tempted to do it…i will certainly try and let you know the results. And how frequently do you use this!!
what conditioner should use after applying onion juice
@productqueen even I love doing DIY’s 🙂
@Shruti yeah the smell goes off and glad that I was able to help you…do tell me about the results after about 15 days or a month 🙂
@Dhanu I have heard a lot about Trichup…even I am getting tempted to use it but I am not suffering from hair fall…I just wanna grow my hair and I donno how much this oil will help!!! I did this twice a week for just 15 days so only 4 times and results were worth it 🙂 do try out the onion method and let me know the results 🙂
Swati,
Do try trichup oil even to grow your hair…its safe.
Although i donto have much hairfall now..I was so tempted to use this onion juice on my hair….yes it ws stinking badly and when i apply first on my scalp…for initial few seconds i had a itchy feeling…and it ws ok later. Tell you what…i just loved this experiment!! Thanks for sharing it swati!!!
hey Dhanu…yup I have heard a lot about Trichup oil…if you say that it helps with hair growth too…I shall try it next 🙂
yeah onion juice stinks badly but I have no idea why your scalp felt itchy…may be it was too strong for your scalp!!!
hi i am 22 yrs old and my story is naturally i had very beautifl and long hair but 5 yrs back i went for hair straightnning and tht effected my hair so badly that i anot lost oodles of hair but also got a visible baldness in the center of my hair so plz sggest me some good hair remedis to get hair on baldness.
hey Ayesha…since you have baldness I would suggest to go for professional treatment…go to a good dermatologist and ask for consultation…some things are best left to doctors!!!
thanks for the tip…. what kind of onion (white or red?) my hair thin noticeably….. when i go to salon to get haircut after they blow dry it out it use to be nice & you can see a lot of volume but now flat…. even though i can tell they tried so hard to make it look fuller =( i think it got more to do with stress than anything else….
hey…any onion will work though red has more sulphur content so it should be more effective!!! yes, stress does affect hair growth adversely so you can try yoga or meditation to control the stress levels in the body!!! make sure to exercise everyday for at least 20 minutes…it definitely helps with stress!!!
Hi…i wanna share this good news… I tried this onion (red) on my husband since he got
hair problem badly…today is exactly 10days and i can see the small hair that start growing and we are so happy..i apply twice a day to him without fail..when he go to work i will apply the onion juice with abit of honey so it will kill the smell but at night i will just put the juice only.i will massage his hair with a piece of onion before i put the juice for the fast reault as i believe when i massage the scalp it will help for the juice to get inside the skin easier..im really happy to see all the little new hair and cant wait to share more in future…tq
lovely to know that, Dalin!! I am so glad it worked for you and would love to hear from you again 🙂
daily or weekly applied onion juice ? really its working? now am going to try this…plz tell me how should i use this treatment to grow new hairs…
hi dalin.. jus wanna kno,do you really apply onion juice twice a “DAY” in your husband’s hairs??what about head wash,does he wash his hairs daily in the morning?? is it safe??
pls guide me..i also wanna try this… thnx..

swati i want send to my pics hair..lose u can see and tell me your home redmy therphy onion juice right for me send me mail id
Hi
Does Onion juice helps in clearing the oily dandruff in the scalp and re-grows hair.
yes 🙂
Hi I am African American and we’re not supposed to wash our hair often. I have found that putting mustard oil on after the onion juice helped te smell alot. My only question is: is it ba to appy the onion juice morning and night for a week straight before washing it out? Or should I wash it out daily? For example: apply in the Morning..leave it in, then apply at night…leave it in…then wash in the morning and do the routine over again?
hi Susan, it really stinks badly and scalp treatments are best done on clean scalp so I would suggest you to do this two -three times a week. that way you wouldn’t need to wash your hair many times either. hope this helps 🙂
Hi swati
I am also facing the hairfall problem….so can we use this onion remedy twice a week
yes, you can 🙂
Hi Swati,
What’s the difference between using pulp and juice? I used a juicer and made it into a paste and apply like that. What are some easy ways to get juice out of an onion? Sorry, my bachelor life is limited in kitchen experience!
squeeze the paste and you will get the juice…I have mentioned how to get the onion juice in the post above.
Hi Swati, Can I refrigerate this liquid and use it whenever i am oiling my hair??
hey Madhuri, I am not really sure of the refrigeration thing coz I haven’t ever done it yet!!!
hi. I”M using onion for hair. Every night, over night…i add some alcohol for better smell…. Why does my hair fall out? Sorry for bad English….jusha
i would like to knov if i can store this onion juice for a week in a fridge? Thank you. jusha
One more question please: Onion Extract: is it ok to use it? I can make it or buy it….what do you think?!
Thank you!!!! jusha
no idea about the onion extract or refrigeration of the onion juice coz I have not tried it.
but, do not add alcohol to onion juice, it will dry out the scalp and probably that’s why your hair is falling!!!
Thank you soooo much!!! I wont use any alcohol again. You are my safer, it wass scarry when my hair fall out 🙁 sorry for bad english! jusha
I tried the onion juice twice a day, every day, for two weeks, but I had to stop because of the smell. It didn’t bothered me, but no one could stay near me when it was hot outside and I was sweating just a little. I tried different oils, vinegar, salt, rubbed the head with a stainless steel spoon:|, shampoo, but nothing. What do you do to mask/reduce the smell? I can’t have a social life with that smell following me.
use it two-three times a week and keep it for an hour and wash it off with a shampoo!!! you can also use essential oils in your shampoo or the onion juice like lavender or rosemary. do not go overboard with onion thing because it obviously smells a lot and secondly, going overboard will not really help!!! hair takes time to grow back and it will take time anyway.
thank you for the advice. Have a great day.
Hey i am 25 yrs old and i am having grey hair from last 1 year i used garnier hair colour but when i read your blog i thought to use it from last 2weeks i used onion juice (4 times) i found more grey hair want to know is there any side effect or it just clean that old hair colour which i used?
Hi, i have very thin hairs at the front & center. How much applying onion will help me in regrowing hairs ? I have used it 5 times now in 2 weeks. Should i use it more regularly ? Also, i apply the onion juice made by mixer directly on scalp , is it ok ?
How long will this procedure take to hairs to grow & become thick?
Thanks in advance.
this will take time to grow hair!!! continue it for a month and you should see some difference but if you want noticeable differences, it will take around 4-6 months!!! 2-3 times a week is enough.
Thanks Swati….i will try to use to length of 6 months & hopefully it will work. Does it work for everyone or it’s like only few people benefit from Onion juice ? Also, i feel kind of dryness or whiteness after applying Onion ? I’m not sure whether existing dandruff is coming off or new is coming.
Thanks again.
hmmm…generally it doesn’t get dry but if your scalp is already dry, it can get drying probably so mix the juice with oil or apply it on the scalp after oiling your scalp thoroughly!!!
Thanks…which oil should i use? Amount should be 50 -50 or diff ?
you can use any oil. yes, 50-50 is fine 🙂
Hi, I used to apply bhringraj oil for hair growth 2 yrs back. I worked wonders initially for 6 months but after i moved to other place, my hair started thinning again. It’s ok now & no hairfall, but i want to grow my hairs full again.
Can i use Bhringraj & onion juice on alternate days as i don’t have much confidence on mixing them. ??
yes you can.
Hi Swati,
Read the write up on onion juice..Very informative. Liked the simple style too…anyhow I am suffering from severe hair loss..have a patch of absolutely thinned out hair on the crown of my head..not a bald patch but very very close to bald patch with just few strands of hair remaining on the spot..I am from Kerala, 35 years of age, male….started losing hair very early in life but the hair loss has been aggravated over the last month or so with the “miracle” oil of kerala….Indulekha oil gold…really bad hairfall after using this oil product..so much so that colleagues+ started commenting on my “relatively” bald patch…anyhow hope I have understood clearly on how to make this onion juice…..
To use about 1-2 onions and we cut it down to a size as how we cut down onions for making salads…and then squeeze them to remove the juice…and then add the juice along with some hair oil preferably rosemary oil…apply it to scalp first and then entire hair…few specific questions:
1. What type of onions do we use? Big red onions???
2. How long do we need to keep the mixture on the hair? (leave it on the entire night and wash it in the morning. Entire night means about 6 hours)
3. What shampoo to use to wash away the mixture? any safe shampoos that can be used which will not further aggravate the hairfall?
4. Is Rosemary oil available in India? If so which brand sells it?
5. Will the shampoo remove the stink that comes with onions?
Hope to receive a reply soon and for my sake I hope it helps me..my gudness the oil was one big blunder..Once gain very informative writeup on onion juice and I like the simple yet informative style of information that u have presented here…Ciao…
can i mix onion juice with keo karpin oil and apply it over night?
how to use onions is clearly written in the post above so you can check that out.
1. any onion will do. red is preferable.
2. you can keep it as long as you want, overnight if you like.
3. any shampoo will do, one which cleanses hair properly. yes, a good shampoo removes the stink as well.
4. I bought rosemary essential oil from moksha lifestyle.

or, you can also buy it from soulflower

hiiii swati
tarun; i am 24 year old… plz help me tell me how to use daily or weekly me ne shampoo and conditioner use krna band kr diya hai kaphi tym se bcoz darta hun k hairfall or na ho..is dar se me shampoo bhi use nhi krta.. or hair wash bathsoap se krta hun wo bhi week me 1 tym me onion daily use krun
first thing shampoo is not responsible for your hair fall. bath soap can cause even more hair fall in fact. if u have a lot of hair fall, I would suggest you to contact a dermatologist. its important to cleanse the scalp so don’t forgo the shampoo. if you don’t want to use SLS based shampoos, you can go for soulflower shampoo bars. I have heard good reviews of it:
http://www.soulflower.biz/
hi swati
anuradha : i am just 17 years old …i dont have so much time for all this …i have a very busy schedule. what all can i do is hot hair oil massage and apply onion juice twice a week….just tell me that will this be effective for my hairs.
yes, it should be 🙂 when you oil your hair, make sure you massage your scalp nicely otherwise nothing will work out!!!
My head is quite longer.Is that any possibility to make hair on that for bringing small.Please Reply
what???
hi swati….started the onion juice application. Lot of hair is falling off….I am hoping it will normalize soon…it has been exactly 1 week..but I have a doubt..is using shampoo daily okay. I am using Himalaya Protein shampoo..it is free of Parabens, silicone and SLES….the product is advertising daily use..anyhow since I am doing this onion juice daily….I have to shampoo daily..so is it okay??
better not to do onion juice thing daily. keep it two times a week. overdoing things is equally harmful. if the shampoo suits you, you can use it.
Hi Swathi,
I used to have good volume of hair, but from the past month , I see a lot of hair loss, which makes my scalp little visible. I am not sure what caused the hair loss all of a sudden. Could you please give me any suggestions of how to avoid the hair loss and regrow the hair.
Thanks!
sorry but even I can’t tell you what might have caused hair loss. but, you can try this:
http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2010/01/how-to-increase-hair-volume.html
this drink really helps 🙂
Thanks Swati for the reply , I will try that. Can I take the fenugreek capsule everyday,instead of soaking the seeds in water and drinking? Also,Have you any idea on Nizoral shampoo ? coz, this was the one which I was using, might be the reason behind my hair fall !!
Thanks !
yes, yu can take it everyday but still consult a doctor before that!! yes, i know nizoral. it can be the reason but hair fall can be due to any number of reasons. so, use a shampoo which suits you and don’t change it!
Dear Swati
I am reading your post for the last 2 months. I am suffering from Female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia)as per my doctors for the last 8 years. I have read somewhere onion juice is suitable only for alopecia aereta not for androgenetic alopecia.
Density of hair on the front side of my head is very less that now my scalp also gets visible. I am using onion juice for the last 2 months but with no visible effect. I am very depressed. Help me….
one more thing ….In monsoon season severity of my hair problem increases …………..I am loosing ample quantity of hair…………….any remedy …………pls help
hi I am so sorry for the delay in reply but I really think you should consult a doctor for this issue.
hi Swati
thanx for ur post, it was very informative
i have been using onion juice, today is my 4th application and i notice a reduction in hair fall…i am so happy with that:)
so, i thought i would like to share few tips,
i used a coffee bean mill to mash the onion and added little salt to diffuse all the juice out, strained it through muslin cloth then stored it in well-sealed jar in the fridge. it still worked!!
i have mixed it with some organic apple vinegar, olive oil and coconut oil.
applied it for 3 hours then washed it off with organic shampoo and brushed my hair for few minutes after that while it is semi-wet.
i am quite pleased with the result and can’t wait to see my hair thick again.
my warmest regards
thanks a lot Suz for the feedback but I would like to point out that if you do not have dandruff issues, skip the vinegar as it can dry out the scalp if used in excess.
Hi I’ve been doing lots of research on this and havent found much detail on what kind of onion to use. white? red? small? large? Or does it even matter? please help. I want to start ASAP 🙂
thannks
the redder the onion, more is its sulphur quantity but you can use any onion. generally one big onion is enough to cover the entire scalp. hope this helps 🙂
hey,i read your articles regarding onion juice.i had a question. i stay in a hostel. it is not possible for me to make onion juice so many times. so can i make it once and preserve it in a container?? if yes,then for how long can i preserve it?? if no,what else can i do if i cannot make a juice of onions??
I understand the prob of staying in a hostel 😀 😀 but, sorry can’t say that onion juice can be preserved or not!!! I have never tried it. I have another recipe for that which I shall be posting soon 🙂
hi
my blender does not make paste of onions…instead i pour honey on chopped onions- the honey makes the onion to release the juice- then i apply to dcalp. do you think this will work same?
thanks
dana
well, till you are getting onion juice, anything will work 🙂
hi………how many times i do this in a week,,,
hey Sush…do it 2-3 times a week!!!
Hey dis is gud .. I wanted to know that is it dangerous to apply this with honey when you have applied coconut oil on your scalp..
I apply coconut oil always before using shampoo.. so is it ok to apply this paste with honey on the hair for 1 hour.. N plz also advice dat after applying dis what happens is the mixture start falling on the face and I am scared is there any chance dat hair would grow on the face..
Plz give your advice..
first, yes, its perfectly fine to apply on oiled hair. you can apply only the juice of the onion so that no mess gets created and nothing drops on the face. no, it will not grow hair where there is no hair at all 🙂
Can I use shampo after apply onion juice
hi Ricky, yes!

no, gray hair is coz of loss of coloring pigment in the hair. onion doesn’t cause graying of hair but yes, it does make the hair color copperish.
hi swati, i have been applying onion juice for almost 2 months for 2-3 times a week. Hair condition is much better but i can hardly see hair growth. How much it will take for new hairs to grow ?
Thanks in advance.
hair takes a lot of time to grow and show difference. check this as well:
http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2012/05/instructions-to-oil-your-hair-hair-care.html
this will helps stimulate hair follicles. you should definitely see difference in two months. apply onion juice on well-oiled hair for an hour before shampooing.
i apply onion juice and oil on alternate days. Never tried onion juice on already oiled hairs ?. Does it make extra diff ?
actually oil and onion juice doesn’t mix well so I suggested this way. but, if you can do that, its fine…doesn’t make any difference.
Hey Swati..
Thanks for sharing this info wid evryone. Really appreciate u for this.
I am 26 yrs old..and having baldness from last 3-4 yearsz..also let me noe that if i use this every day which requires hair to be washed everyday which is good or bad??
don’t use it everyday. do this on alternate days. oil your hair every alternate day using the following methods:
http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2012/05/instructions-to-oil-your-hair-hair-care.html
and, apply onion juice on the scalp an hour before washing hair. you will see difference in around 2-3 months!!!

Hi Swati m Siddharth from Delhi m suffering from hair loss from last 2 years, have consulted to dermatologist, and followed medication for almost 1 year,but things doesn’t worked well,then I decided to go for natural remedies
I visited to this site and read some comments 3-4 days before, I liked this remedy of onion.
Can you plz tell me that how can i get onion juice as m living in a hostel and managed chopper here,can I apply thoroughly chopped onion, if yes then tell me how. Plz revert asap as I wanna start at the earlist.
chop onion into as small pieces as possible and squeeze the pieces to extract the juice. apply that juice on scalp. hope this helps!!!
Tell me how to apply as my hairs are very thin at the centre and near by place of scalp and the frontal line hair is disappearing. Is there any particular way to apply exactly the areas which needed the most.
apply more juice on the critical areas but apply juice just as you will. use a cotton ball. its easy!!
Thanks,this is exactly the same whats needed.
Hi Sidd, try and chop it very fine, then put it in a cloth and squeeze and you will get onion juice. 🙂 Hope this helps.
Hi Swati Mam…This Is Niraj Singh From Ranchi ….

mam i was with my very good healthy hair at my mid 20 ..but after 25 i got blad spot my right and left scalp and now at my 29 my hair becomes thin and saprete to each other and i can view more empty space on my head …i know no doctor ll do anything …and i dont ve much money to go hair transplant

yes, you can use it….please call me Swati!!
@ Swati can i put on at night and wash on next day morning
yes, you can but beware that you will be stinking. one big onion is enough for one time use.
can i put at night and wash at next day morning !!!!!!
and how many onion i use for evry time
Hey Swati, I’ve been losing my hair for about 1-2 years I want to do something about it before its too late. I’m new to these hair remedies but from what I’ve read online and on your post, it seems that these onion treatments are great to get your hair back. I wash my hair 3 times a week with a sulfate free shampoo, usually with 2 days in between washes to make it even through out the week. I want to start using this remedy, and I want to know what are the different kinds of oils i can use and, when is the best time to do this? at night time before going to bed? or can it be done early in the morning as well?. thanks
it can be done in the morning as well. keeping it one hour on the scalp is also enough.
regd. the hair oil, I would suggest you to use organic oil. sesame oil is the best for hair or you can go for almond oil as well.
Hey swati I started to use the grating method to extract the juice from the onion, I’m gonna start mixing the oil soon. I wanted to ask you. what is a good brand for rosemary oil, and should this oil be applied the same as the rest?. thanks
instead of getting rosemary oil, get rosemary essential oil…2 drops per application would be great. as to a reliable brand, I can’t really say but I bought mine from moksha: http://mokshalifestyle.com/
hey i am a 21 old girl frm bangalore, after checking ur write up…started wd this onion experiment…!! I too have some bald spots right in front portion of my head…i have tried it two times..cant see any effects as f now…i wanted to ask which variety f onion to use?? there r small big?? red white?? thanx in adv do reply…
use red onions big or small. doesn’t matter. two times won’t make difference. it takes around 1 month – 6 months to see some difference. also, check this out:

Hi…i just started using this method of applying onion on my head, its been 5 days now, can u tell me if i have to use fresh onion juice every time i apply it on my head?
yes, according to me!!

Is it normal for the hair to fall after applying onion juice??? and will the fallen hair regrow again ???, i have also notice hair fall while applying coconut oil is it normal in both the cases?? where u loose your hair???
weak hairs generally do fall off when you try to oil the hair or apply anything to the roots. do check this post, might be of more help:

hi..
can i use Arnica oil mixed with onion juice ??
yes, you can 🙂
hi!
i used this remedy on my hair for the first time and for some reason the result was the the opposite of what i expected as soon as i started washing my hair, lots and lots of my hair started falling out.why??
well, better not to use it anymore…probably because onion juice didn’t suit your hair!!!
@Swati nice to see that you r responding actively since more than a year, just wanted to say feels gud 2 c ppls lyk u….
by the way i read all post from how long you are using this remedy & whats ur age ???
Jony
I have used this remedy on and off!!! I’m 26. thanks for your kind compliments!!!
hi swathi,
my name is kishan and im 20, have this hairfall problem since 6 years and this fastened last 2 years and the result hair got thinner ,less in density and its shedding on the crown ..researched a lot they seem many reasons but mine are itchy scalp,dandruff,DHT tried many but some worked positive fennugeek paste it did good by nourishing my hair even hair stopped falling off but only for 2-3 weeks and then ate soya beens another positive result which blocks dht but it was just a good week i realized its not only one thing all the time things should me mixed up
i should use 2 or 3 good home made for consistent result so my doubt is onion a good thing for DHT problem
DHT is a hormone and that’s something internal. for that, you should take green tea every day. onion doesn’t really interfere with what happens inside the body so it shouldn’t be a problem for DHT!!!
thanks for the reply and can you please review me abut himalaya anti hair fall cream.
hi…I am sorry but I don’t want to use the himlaya cream so i can’t review it.
but, my father uses the anti-dandruff and says that it works only as long as you use the product and have heard good reviews on the product you mentioned.
Hi Swati..
I am using onion juice with arnica oil since 15 days and result is realy very good now i found regrowth of hairs in front of head and roughf hairs also turning to smooth hairs slowly..

Hi Swati
I have been wearing braids in my hair for about 2 yrs now. I have taken the braids out; now my hairs is shedding, thinning and plus I have a itchy scalp.
By using the onion treatment will it start my hair to grow back and did the braids weaken my hair? Also can I mix it with the following oils: emu oil, castor oil, alma oil?
please help
hi…do you have natural hair??? and, by braids, which braids do you mean – corns or normal 3-strand braid??? if your braid was very tight, yes, it might have weakened the hair. its very important to relax the hair so keep it open for at least an hour everyday. if you use castor oil, mix it with other oils. don’t apply it naked on the scalp or skin ever. its very concentrated. yes, onion juice will help hair grow.
Yes, I’m black amer. and my hair is natural. I was wearing 3-strand extensions braids. i’m not wearing them any more. my hair grow very well with them in and once I took them out my hair start shedding. Also is it ok to us the emu oil, black castor oil or alma with the onion juice?
yes, extension always leads to hair loss so you have to concentrate on your diet to make the hair strong from the roots. yes, you can use all of those mentioned oils 🙂
Thank for your help. I started the onion treatment tonite. Also after the treatment I gave my hair a deep condition with some EO in conditioners. Is that ok? I will keep you posted on my progress.
Have a good evening
yes, its absolutely fine 🙂 sure, will be waiting to hear 🙂
hi! been doing research about this onion treatment for hair and almost all comments were positive. i still haven’t tried it though. i’ve also read one article that you can also mix the chopped onion in a shampooo and let it stand for 15 days before using it. this one i’d like to try coz maybe it will lessen the smell of the onion.
yes, even I have read that but never tried it!! sure, do try it and please tell me how it goes 🙂
Hi swati..Nice article
Can i make a combination of onion juice and any hair oil for long time use ?
for e.g.: mix 100ml hair oil+100ml onion juice then put it in bottle then apply daily on the hairs…actually,i dont want make juice again and again.
Neha
no Neha. i would still suggest you to make fresh every time because onion juice is perishable and can make the oil rancid as well!!
Hello swati..
I started applying onion juice on hair oil. It becomes dry within half an hour after applying it. Is it common. How often i can apply it in a week for better results and how long should i wait for take bath after applying it. Is there any shampoo i can take for washing. because it is liking gum sticky feeling after applying oil juice in head.
Kumar
yes, it becomes dry. you can wash it off as soon as you it gets dry in the hair. you can apply it twice to thrice in a week. any shampoo would clean off the oil. it doesn’t feel like gum-sticky!!! always shampoo your hair twice and follow with conditioner!!!
can i use methi seeds paste,castor oil/almond oil mix and onion juice for alternative days.now i am using methi paste and castor /almond oil mix weekly twice..can i use onion juice for hair growth?
may i use this treatment for hair regrowth on lost place?can it worth,
what to do for regrowth lost hair (regrowth hair on bald place) pls help me find solutions…
I also heard about the shampoo and I’m working on it. Its been standing for a week. The article I’ve read was to let it stand for 2 wks.
The thing is how long do you keep the shampoo in your hair?
don’t keep it more than 2 minutes. use it simply like a shampoo!!!
but i love d color of my hair..:( m facng a li’l prob at parting my hair.. dey r vry soft n silky so d parting is xtra visible and dt dsnt luk at al when i open my hair..dts y i clutch em al d tym.:(..and yes d parting is visible at both d sides left n rite..
but m damn sure u can help me in ds ..but i do not want to lose d color of my hair at any cost..:(..m realy cnfused nw..lookng frwrd for ur reply..:)
sorry dint get u…:(
can i use ginger paste?
hmmm…use sesame oil then. that will help prevent onion change the color of your hair!!! hope this helps 🙂
mix onion juice and sesame oil or yes, you can also use ginger juice or paste 🙂
ohk..:)
tel me how to apply..?
just make a ginger paste and apply it as a scalp mask or squeeze out ginger juice and apply it on the scalp!!!
thanks..:) <3
Hi Swati
Can I use a conditioner with the onion juice and oil three times a week plus sit under a dryer for 30 mins. with it in my hair. or is this a little bit to much? or just mix conditioner and juice because I found the onion juice is too watery and it runs out of my hair. If conditioner mix with the juice it give it a little more body so it stays better in you hair. will that work.
thanks
well, i do think its too much, keep things simple. don’t apply conditioner ever on the scalp. yes, its watery so you can use cotton to apply the juice. dab the cotton on the scalp so that it gets absorbed and doesn’t run down the face!!
another recipe is to chop and onion and add it to shampoo and let it stand for 15 days and use the shampoo as usual. it will make hair growth faster and hair shining. Is this recipe correct. can we use it in this way?
Ashi
hi Ashi, yes, I have read about it but I donno if it really works but you can definitely try it 🙂 I am sure it will help with shinier hair definitely 🙂
hi swati . ur blog has really made me tempted to try this onion juice. am just worried tht wil i lose my hair more if it doesnt work for me. my hair is thinning near partition line. i am 29 yrs old married and 4 mnths pregnant. so wht i want to ask is:
1 is it safe to use in pregnancy?
2 i hav done many homeopathy treatments before but nothing worked i mean hairloss was in control but new hair never grew.
3 recently i tried applying kalonji oil but my hair started falling more.
4 is it necessary tht if kalonji oil didnt work onion juice wil also not work?
5 had also once tried sesa hairfall kit available in india lost lots of money along wit hair.
6 after so many exeriments am really afraid of trying onion juice wht do u say ? shud i go for it n is it ok if i apply only on partition line
7 one more thing whnever i oil my hair wit any oil my hairfall is more so hav stopped oiling since long time
waiting for ur helpful reply.
yes, its safe in pregnancy unless you are dealing with nausea. also, please remember that in pregnancy, hair loss is inevitable so doing anything might nto really help but yes, onion is perfectly safe since it is an external application 🙂
i donno about kalonji oil or sesa oil so can’t say anything about them. yes, its fine if you apply only on partition line.
ok, oiling hair is very necessary but while your hair is falling, just apply oil and don’t massage at all. and, improve your diet and this thing will pass 🙂
thanx alot for ur kind and immediate reply 🙂 wil surely try this soon.
do let me know how it goes for you and also, I have a post coming up on hair fall and pregnancy 🙂 hope that helps as well 🙂 it will take few days so do watch out!!
hi again
wel today is my firstday of application. hav decided to keep it only for one hour. just wanted to ask does hair become hard during tht period of 1 hr ?
thnx 🙂
hey….yes, it kinda dries off int he hair and hardens…so how was the first experience???
well to be frank not much difference until now :(. hairfall has not reduced yet. today hav applied for third time. i guess i need lots of patience :).
since you are pregnant, the hair fall is due to hormonal and physical changes so I don’t think you will see a lot of difference this soon!!!
Hi,
I was searching for any hair loss treatment, found ur post and I can see your comments area full of ur support to everyone. Its really amazing for years u r replying to everyone. I really like the way u r sharing it with all. R u doing it professionally or doing it from your home only, I mean how is it possible to do it continuously for this long time. Do u get any support technically to create these posts online and sharing with all. What do use to reply ur comments its just ur laptop or ur mobile. Its just a curiosity after going through all these comments. For ur post, definitely I am going to apply it as u mentioned above.
Thanks for your kind support and patience during replying all repeated questions those u have already replied many times and assisting them individually.
My Best Wishes For You.
hi Raj…no, i don’t do this professionally. its my hobby and no I write all my posts on my own unless mentioned. i do manage all the stuff on my own as well. i use laptop. and, thanks a lot for your kind words.
do let me know how does the treatment go for you in case you try it out!!
Ya Swati I am going to try it and tell u the results, just a question, is it necessary to use any type of conditioner after applying juice and rinsing it with any suitable shampoo.
Hi Swati
Then which conditioner you will suggest for guys, is there any home remedy for this also
Usually I dont use conditioner and hair oil, meanwhile I used Garnier’s conditioner.
Again thanks for your support
first you wash off with shampoo and then follow with conditioner…yes, its important coz onion stinks a lot!!! and, conditioner is very important to keep hair soft and hydrated 🙂
there is watercress from biotique which i have totally loved.
http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2011/10/biotique-watercress-fresh-nourishing.html
or, you can use honey for conditioning naturally.
HI Swati
I am using onion juice for 1 month. I could not find a suitable way to apply it with a cotton or spoon or direct on the scalp. Can u tell me if there is any other way to apply it like mixing it with any powder or……
you can apply it directly with the fingers as well but dabbing it with help of cotton ball is easy. you can mix it with fenugreek paste as well.
Hi Swati, Your website is really wonderful 🙂 I read about
onion treatment and i want to know whether it can be used to
treat premature greying? will this turn grey hair black?
Thanks,
Trupti
thanks Trupti…onion changes the hair to copperish color but I don’t think it really helps with gray hair. do check this post:
http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2012/09/how-to-take-care-of-gray-hair-hair-care.html

Hi Swati:
Just a little note to let you know that the onion juice is working well (it really works). Its only been least than a month (going on 3wks)and I see new growth in bald spots on my head more than a quarter inch. But I still have a problem with itching and some pimple that comes on my scalp.
Any recommendation. Help!
Also the shampoo with the onion is great.
wow…I am so glad to hear that 🙂
well, if your scalp is itching a lot, you should definitely see a doc…it can be due to dandruff or any other condition. you can try to follow some of these tips:
http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2012/02/how-to-get-rid-of-dandruff-hair-care.html
but, i would still suggest you to see a doc once.
HI
I am using onion juice for 1 month but cotton ball method is not working properly. Can u plz tell me how do u apply it on your scalp which gave u positive result.
Thanx
HI
I am using onion juice for 1 month, find it difficult to apply it on scalp with cotton ball or direct through fingers. Can u plz tell me how do u apply it and get benefit in 3 weeks.
yup it is difficult to apply with fingers but it should be easy with cotton. take it in a bowl and take a cotton ball…dip it in the juice and dab it on your scalp….keep partitioning your hair all over…i have used this method for applying both oil and ginger juice so i know its workable.
if you find it too difficult, you can try getting a bottle of this shape:
http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2011/06/apply-oil-right-to-scalp-hair-care.html
this also helps 🙂
HI
Thanx for suggestion of bottle but the problem is that juice doesnt stay on scalp, it runs down as soon as i dab it on the scalp. Even used an eyedrop bottle just as u sggested but dont know how much amount scalp could absorb, however, trying to control running down the juice. Wouldn’t it be better if u could suggest some kind of product that could be mixed and then it could stay on the scalp.
Also which mustard you would suggest for hair?
Thnx for ur help
yes, it does trickle down…you can mix it with fenugreek paste and apply it.
hello swati.can cooconut oil go with onion juice to apply in the scalp?thanks
yes 🙂
Can you mix the onion juice with Trichup hair oil? Has anyone everytried it? Which would be the best oil to mix it with?
I have never used trichup oil but yes, you can mix it with that as well 🙂 you can mix it with any oil!!

hey can u plzz tell me once squeezed onion remaining juice can be used for next application?
better to make a fresh batch every time.
Dear swati,
I have severe hairfall and the area in front is starting to look bald, been using the mixture of onion juice, egg yolk and almond now since the last 3 times, once every week, I wanted to know:
1. If I can heat the almond oil before mixing it with the
onion juice
2. Is one egg yolk enough
3. Is almond oil good or should substitue for another
Thanks for all your help
2.
make the oil warm but not hot!!! one should be enough…you have to apply this only on scalp, right?? you can go for sesame oil as well..both are good and add ONLY a table spoon of castor oil, if you get it.
Thanks Swati,
But when I mix the onion juice with the almond oil it tends to be more watery is that normal and I color my hair as well nearly once every two months, would almond oil/castor oil with onion juice lighten my hair color more, if so which oil should be used with onion juice so the hair color stays the same
yes, its watery only and oil and juice don’t really mix wel. you can also do one thing – apply the juice using a cotton on the scalp on oiled hair an hour before washing your hair. it just turns hair copperish but not necessarily.
you can instead use sesame oil or mustard oil to prevent change in color!!!
hi dear swati does hand practice affect hair loss?

no, you can use onion juice on its own as well but try to use it on well-oiled hair only so that it doesn’t end up drying the scalp. apply the juice using a cotton ball.

hii Swati……Is it necessary to mix Onion Juice with any oil?We cannot use onion juice only??????????Amit
Hi Swati
I think I m suffering fm Alopecia Areata first time ever in my life. And I have a 2.5cm diameter round bald patch round the top back of my head. Would this remedy helps to make hair grow back faster in that area?
If so, should I just use onion in that area?
Can I mix it with rosehip seed oil (thats all i have here)? Or should I oil the area first then apply onion? Is this oil ok to retain the natural col. of my hair too?
Would the hair grow back thin or normal/natural as other healthy hair?
thx
well, honestly, i would suggest you to consult a good dermatologist. i don’t know any thing of these will help or not.
yes, you can use rosehip and apply onion on well-oiled hair using a cotton ball. yes, don’t worry, it wouldn’t change the color so startlingly. its just a natural copperish and that also depends. since you are applying it on the bald patch, it wouldn’t show any color difference immediately.
This comment has been removed by the author.
thx Yes I have been to the dermatologist. But I would like to do sth that helps hair to regrow faster because all they could give you is steroid.
isnt the onion juice therapy supposed to be for the bald patch?
When i make onion juice , do i need to mix with water?
thx
no don’t mix it with water….its already quite watery. yes, it helps in regrowing as well as covering bald patches.

Hi swathi,
I am carol. i have been reading your posts. I have curly hair by nature and i hate it. So i used to blowdry my hair after every wash to set it straight…have been doing this for two years now. I had thick hair and i didnt pay much heed to hairfall, but of late my hair started to look so weak and brittle. I hardly have a few strands of hair in the front… i am worried , can onion juice help to reduce flw away and regain my thick hair without stopping the use of blowdryer… ?
well, you will have to stop using blow drier or at least reduce the usage to once a week or something on those lines…heat is not good for hair and if you can’t help it, invest in some got heat preventing serums. many are available now a days. yes, onion juice will help and go for deep conditioning treatments every week and cut your hair to the least length you can carry so that you can grow out healthy hair and i would still say do not use any styling agents….they really take a toll on hair.
Hi Swathi,
Thank you so much for the tip.. My hair feels great now.. I have applied onion, lemon and hair oil weekly twice for 3 weeks now. I had lot of dandruff for which I used to apply Head and Shoulders every alternate day without fail but only the dandruff kept coming back. Now with your tip my hair is shiny, my scalp is clear. It’s been 3 weeks I have not used Head and Shoulders. Now I can use any shampoo of my choice without worrying about dandruff and hairfall.
hey Krishna….I am so glad that this tip helped you 🙂 thanks a lot for the feedback 🙂
hey swati,
i am carol and i am 21 yrs old. My hair is naturally curly and i hate it. So i blowdry it straight everytime i wash my hair. I dint pay much heed to the flyaway since my hair was thick. But of late i can see my hair is become so thin and my scalp is visible in the front. Will onion juice help to regain my hair. But i cant stop blowdrying.
yes, onion juice will help but try to use serums which are heat protectors when blow drying!!!
Hi Swati. Can I apply this onion juice on a six yr old girl? She has very thin hair. Does the hair color changes a lot?
no, you should not.
hi sweet swati , can i apply onion juice daily before going to bed and wash it off next day morning.
thanks
yup sure.
Will this permanant growth?
hair is not permanently grown coz it has a cycle of growth and fall but yes, it keeps on growing even after the hair falls off.
WILL this be a permanent growth
Asalam Alkyun
I am Raja Faisal from karachi, I had expermented a lot with my hair and vegetable. and also made lot of research on internet my conclusion is that GOD ALMIGHTY had made ONION and AELOVERO a perfect remedy for hair loss and regrowth.
HERE IS THE FORMULA I AM GIVING AWAY FOR GOD SAKE.
APPLY DAILY HALF ONION GRIND IN MACHINE BUT BEFORE APLLYING WAIT..
DO NO SHAMPOO BECAUSE MOST SHAMPOOS IN MARKET ARE CHEMICAL BASE SO AVOID THEM. USE NATURAL CLEANER. I WILL GUIDE YOU HOW.
USE ONE CUP OF TAP WATER MIX ONE TABLE SPOON OF BAKING SODA AND MIX TILL IT DILUTE AND NOW MASSAGE YOU HAIR WITH THAT GENTLY AND WASH AWAY BELIEVE ME IT WILL CLEAN ALL GREASE AND DEBRIS FROM HAIR AND NO SIDE EFFECTS ON HAIRS.(YOU CAN MAKE THIS FORMULA IN PLASTIC BOTTLE IN FOR DAILY USE) SO AFTER THAT APPLY THE ONION PASTE ON YOU HAIR MASSAGE GENTLY AND LEAVE FOR 1 HOUR ATLEAST DAILY.AND BEFORE GOING TO BED AGAIN THEN REWASH WITH SAME FLUID OF BAKING SODA AND THEN FINALLY BEFORE GOING TO BED APPLY LITTLE AMOUNT OF COCONUT OIL ON HAIR. THATS ALL..
INSHAALLAH YOU WILL FEEL THE HAIRS THICKNESS AND BLACKNESS IN 2 /3 DAYS. CONTINUE .. USING THIS FORMULA AFTER ONE MONTH YOU WILL SAY WOWWWWW THANKS GOD. YOU WILL GIVE ME BLESSING.
THANKING YOU.

from last one month i m using onion juice method 3 times a week…i m also oiling in the night with the mixture of olive oil,almond oil, castor oil, coconut oil and sesame oil….now from last one week i m watching small tiny hairs on the line above forehead….
so please tell me whats this and what kind of progress i should expect in coming days……
if you are already seeing some progress, its fine, right??? hair does take a long time to grow back so please be patient.
Hai Swathi,
It Prashanth from abroad i appreciate ur prompt responsed dear Swathi,
Here want to know is this will effect our internal brain functioning, is it not flow inside through hair pores
Is it not effect that body temperature because it usually we if keep under arm we feel hot body temperature. So please guide me Genuinely dear…….
yes, it increases the heat that is why it improves the blood circulation of the scalp. but, hair pores are not exactly like pipes that things will flow through it otherwise water would have entered the brain 😀

Hi Swaty,
I am Aru from chennai. I am suffering from male pattern baldness(due to genes) my father and his father also had baldness. Can i try onion juice? will it really work for this type of baldness?
Regards,
Aru
i don’t think it will work but you can give it a try.
Swati,
i am hair fall problem and its increased due to change in water and environment since i came abroad.
its difficult to get juicer/mixer here so i cut fine onions and put in ACV(apple cider vineger- herd its helpful for hair)
and with fenugreek seeds. and leave it overnight and use it to rinse hair after shampoo.
so its right use of onion ? any suggestions?
well, its fine 🙂 if you can get a shredder or cheese grater, you can shred or grate the onion and squeeze the pulp as well. otherwise, the method is fine but remember that ACV is acidic so its very drying.
Hey Swati,
Excellent post and excellent (reader) support ! keep it up!
i hv had hair fall problem and its increased due to change in water and environment since i came abroad.
wanted to know onion juice and fenugreek treatment is useful in which cases ? i understood onion gives sulfur but it will be useful only if hairfall is due to lack of sulfur. isnt it?
is there any other benefit of onion and fenugreek?
i m unsure about my hair loss reason, but usually ppl have hair loss due to DHT/Fungus/infection/Dandruff/Ferrum(copper) or Vitamin or Protein deficiency etc.
ur solution are helpful in which categories ? would be helpful to know..
one more question..
its difficult to get juicer/mixer here so i cut fine onions and put in ACV(apple cider vineger- herd its helpful for hair)
and with fenugreek seeds. and leave it overnight and use it to rinse hair after shampoo.
so its right use of onion ? any suggestions?
regd. how its helpful is because it provides sulfur but its not a foolproof way…it activates the hair follicles that’s how it helps. and, its possible that it may not help as well.
Hello everyone,
My name is Ben and I’m working at a UK television production company called Outline Productions and we are producing a ground breaking new TV health show for a major UK broadcaster.
Our series is looking into natural cures, home remedies and complimentary treatments for health problems.
The series will trial a selection of these remedies to explore the science behind why they may work. We’re hoping to raise awareness for a huge selection of illnesses and health conditions by having people who have benefited from home remedies share their discovery with the country.
We’re currently looking for individuals who swear by such home remedies to discuss their cure/treatment with our team of 3 GPs. As well as the more well-known home remedies we’re also particularly interested in the more unusual remedies that people have successfully used.
As some of you have been saying that the onion treatment really does work for hair loss, we would love to hear from you if you’re interested in talking to our panel of GPs about this (if you live in the UK). If you’re not UK based, perhaps you might know anyone in the UK who swears by this as a home remedy for hair loss?
You can email me (benw@outlineproductions.co.uk) or call me on 0207 424 7689.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Ben
Hello Shruti,
Its great to read your article and users comments.. it makes me feel more positiveness of my hair regrowth…
i am based in dubai.. and it says that 90% of ppl lives in dubai get bold faster as water contains chlorine, metals, zinc and other impurities…
my first question is, do you have any suggestions to get rid of chlorine water like something i can mix with the water so it clean all impurities from water…
secondly, i was having a high hair fall around 3 months ago for 3-4 months… and it affected my hair very badly… i can see light bold patch in middle of the head when my hair is wet or when i apply oil… when it is dry.. boldness is not much visible…
my question is does onion juice with olive oil can reborn my lost hair?
this are the question which i am awaiting to get the answer…
appreciate to get your reply sooon on my above posted questions..
Thanks & Regards
hi Faizan

yes, onion juice helps to grow hair.
hi swathi apologies for commenting on the blog late . I have very scanty eyebrowd they are very light and there is absolutely no hair at the start of my eyebrows . I just wanted to know if onion juice will help to accentuate new hair growth and also will it make my eyebrowd denser .??????? Eagerly waiting for your reply . Thanks in advance .
hey Pavitha. for this issue, you should instead use castor oil. apply a drop of castor oil every night on your eyebrows. you should start seeing results in a month. castor oil helps in new hair growth. hope this helps and do let me know how it goes for you 🙂
Hey Swati,
I am applying the onion juice atleast four times a week regularly from past 2-3 months…. Upto some extent i feel some result also…. I mix onion juice with some amount of rose water to get rid from smell…. Now I am having very itchy scalp and some times some white flakes are falling from my hairs… I want to whether it is a dandruff or it is a dead skin….and also some time I store the juice for 2 days in refrigerator…. Now pls tell me whether refrigeration of onion juice will lose it nutrients which are need to our hairs or I have to take off the fresh juice regularly?… And also pls tell about how can i get rid from itchy scalp? Can i mix onion juice +dabur rose water+ coconut oil…. Is it help me? As above mention that I am applying it from past 2-3 months….Is it give a drastic results in next three months…?? As I hope that 6 months are quite enough for all this? Please tell me….
hi Mykee. do not mix the juice with rose water because rose water can be adulterated, especially if you are using the commercial products. instead of that mix essential oils. do not store the juice. always use freshly extracted!
do not mix onion juice with oil. follow the instructions given in the following post:
http://perfectskincareforyou.com/2014/02/onion-juice-for-hair-growth-updates.html
check out how to apply question.
if you are not shampooing properly or if you are leaving onion juice for more than one hour, it dries and flakes off and probably your shampoo is not able to remove it. so, next time apply onion juice ONLY for 30 min. and, shampoo your scalp properly. mix a table spoon of vinegar with your shampoo this time.
if the problem still persists, it might be dandruff so check out this:

itchy scalp can be due to dandruff also. i am coming up with a post for scalp care tomorrow. do check it out 🙂

Hi,

Can i continue with onion juice ?
Hie swathi… My husband is facing from dandruff,white hair and bald patches what to do? What ingredients do I use? N another one can I apply onion juice on oiled hair. How many times do I need to apply.
Hie swathi… My hair is so dry along with split ends. Iam using onionjuice,ghee,oliveoil n mustard oil. Is it fine to use with this ingredients?
I have thin hair, so it gets oily quite easily. I try to wash it every 5 days and after 4 months, my hair started to look oily by the start of the 4th. Before that, I was washing my hair every 3 days and in the 2nd day it used to look like I bathed it in oil….I’m afraid to go back to that behavior by washing it twice a week again. Will applying onion juice and shampooing make it oily faster in the long term?
Hi. Can I combine onion juice with my hair oil (mixture of coconut oil, aloevera,fenugreek, curry leaves) plz reply asap.

Can i mix onion and garlic juice and apply on my scalp
Hi ,
My hair is very short extra ordinary short I just started the onion juice on my scalp this is the third time I know it will take me long but for how long pls
And can I straighten my hair after washing with onions or I should just blow dry it
hi Aysha. onion juice is just a home remedy and not a treatment so it might or might not work. usually, it works and it depends on your hair type and hair growth rate to show results. for hair, you must do a treatment or remedy for one month at the minimum to see some results. the usual time I would recommend is 3-6 months. you can straighten your hair and do anything else also with it. just make sure you do not give it a lot of heat and damage it in the process. use heat protectors.
