How to use onion juice:

“Apply fresh onion juice on your scalp before washing once a week - best for hair growth,” the celebrity hairstylist wrote.

Why is onion juice used to promote hair growth?

This is not the first time Jawed Habib has highlighted the benefits of using onion juice. Earlier, in an interview with Galatta India, posted on YouTube on March 15, he said that all the oil ads that claim to grow your hair back are scams and suggested using the key kitchen ingredient - onion - instead of hair oils or other hair growth products to promote hair growth.

Sharing the process of how to use onion juice, the hairstylist said, “Take out the juice of an onion and massage that into your hair like you do a hair oil massage. Do this 2 times a week, and you will see the results. The peel of the onion helps grow your hair back. Apply this to your whole head.”

He also stressed that onion juice works for only 5 minutes. So, it is best to take the juice from a fresh onion. It should have the strong smell of an onion and be able to bring tears to your eyes. He added that what can be used in the kitchen can also be used in your bathroom. In the end, he claimed that the hack would help 99 percent of people to grow their hair back.
