In the fight against hair loss and the appearance of bald spots, an ordinary onion can help. Onion juice contains essential substances that can restore beauty and health to hair.

Useful properties of onions

Onions have medicinal properties and effectively combat baldness due to their content:

• vitamins C, E and group B;
• citric and malic acids;
• carotene, biotin, retinol;
• iodine and manganese;
• essential oils that trigger a powerful metabolic process that awakens hair follicles;
• potassium, which normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands of the scalp,
• sulfur, which stimulates regeneration.

By nourishing the hair follicles with these beneficial components, the condition of the hair improves and hair loss stops.

How onions affect the scalp and hair

Onions are called a source of health for a person and the strength of his hair. This is because the vegetable:

1. Promotes growth. Normalizes metabolic processes at the cellular level and irritates soft tissues.
2. Disinfects the skin. Phytoncides fight microorganisms that live on the scalp.
3. Accelerates the regeneration of the epidermis.
4. Eliminates oily shine.
5. Strengthens hair follicles.
6. Adds color and brightness to hair.

Everyone knows about the tear-producing properties of onions.When cutting it, we cry because of the release of substances that irritate the mucous membrane. If onion pulp is distributed over the head, these same substances will begin to activate tissues and improve microcirculation of the skin. Thanks to these processes, each individual hair follicle receives the necessary dose of nutrients through the circulatory system.
