How To Use Onion Juice For Hair Growth

Onion juice is one of the best discoveries for treating hair loss. Although it’s been used for centuries in homemade remedies by people from all over the world, it wasn’t until a 2002 study was completed that it was confirmed for the effectiveness and benefits of hair growth.

Onion Juice can bring so many wonders to hair growth as it is now a well known rich source of sulphur, which is extremely beneficial for healthy hair growth. This compound prevents hair breakage and accelerates regrowth of hair. This is because sulfur increases the production of collagen which helps the hair to grow.

 

In February of 2016, A TEAM OF RESEARCHERS discovered that decreasing collagen levels near hair follicle stem cells is linked to hair loss.
