Many women and men are experiencing thinning hair. Sometimes it comes with age, sometimes it’s caused by stress and sometimes it just happens. Although it’s not a health hazard problem, it can be quite an unpleasant problem that can affect a person’s confidence. There are many treatments for thinning hair, but we’re suggesting a treatment that is completely natural and can be found in your own kitchen. We’re suggesting to try an onion juice.
Onions have been used for graying hair and promoting hair growth for ages. Onions contain nutrients and phytochemicals that boost the scalp and hair roots. Onion also contains sulfur, that promotes hair growth, and catalase, that fight off graying. Onion juice is anti-fungal, anti-microbial and antibacterial and can also be used for treating bacterial and fungal infections that affect hair growth.
