Lately, I have been experiencing hair loss due to chemical use, styling tools and keratin treatment. My hair is so weak and starting to fall severely, causing my hair to become super thin. I became very anxious and annoyed and decided to try everything possible to restore my hair. I tried several shampoos and oil treatments but the results were almost unnoticeable, and I am very impatient.
My grandmother always advised me to use onion juice on my hair, but I thought it was a crazy idea. After searching the net, I found that onion mask is one if not the only effective remedy for hair loss.
I grabbed an onion, grated it and separated the juice. I applied it on my hair with coconut oil, since coconut oil is know to be a great hair moisturizer. My hair smelled like onion the entire time, which was quiet embarrassing and annoying. After 3 hours, I washed my hair with Keratin shampoo since I had the treatment done last month. My results where quiet impressive for my first time, I haven't experienced any hair growth but my hair fall diminished.
Reasons for hair loss:
Stress
Alopecia
Poor diet
exessive use of chemicals
Scalp infection
Benefits of Onion:
Onions are rich sources of many nutrients such as vitamin C, Vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, Potassium, germanium and most importantly Sulphur.
Onions cleanse your scalp making it free from dirt and other microbial infections.

Tips to using the onion mask:

2. Massage the scalp for at least one minute, to allow blood circulation.
3. Wash your hair with vinegar solution to get rid of the onion smell. ( 1 spoon of apple cider vinegar or normal vinegar in a litter of water). Vinegar promotes blood circulation in small capillaries that irrigate the skin.
