Onion hair oil: the fragrant secret to longer, thicker hair

Homemade Onion Hair Oil

Ingredients

• 2 medium onions
• ½ cup (120 ml) coconut oil or castor oil
• 1 tablespoon fenugreek seeds (optional)
• A few fresh curry leaves (optional)

Preparation

Peel and chop the onions into small pieces.

Place the chopped onions in a clean cloth or cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice.

Heat the coconut or castor oil gently over low heat.

Add the onion juice to the warm oil.

If desired, add the fenugreek seeds and curry leaves.

Simmer over very low heat for several minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool.

Strain the oil through a fine sieve or clean cloth into a clean glass bottle.

Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.

Consistent application is just as important as preparation. A gentle scalp massage helps distribute the oil while encouraging relaxation and even coverage.
