The rainy season brings pleasant breeze and good feeling, but the moisture present in the air during this time can cause great harm to our hair. With the onset of monsoon, many people face the problem of scalp infection, dandruff and excessive hair fall.
If you are worried about hair fall while combing, then adopt natural home remedies instead of expensive chemical oils, shampoos and hair products. Here we are teaching you how to make the best onion hair oil at home, which helps in preventing hair fall, repairing damaged hair and preventing premature greying.
Material:
Onion (red) – 2 medium sized (chopped)
Coconut oil (or sesame oil) – 1 cup
Castor oil – 2 tbsp (to make hair thick)
Curry leaves – 10-12 (to maintain hair color)
Fenugreek seeds – 1 tablespoon
Method of preparation and use
Make the paste: First of all, grind the chopped onion in a blender without adding water and make a thick paste. Alternatively, you can grate the onion finely and extract its juice.
Heat oil: Add coconut oil and castor oil in an iron pan and keep it on low flame. Cooking oil in an iron pan increases its beneficial properties.
Mix the ingredients: Add onion paste (or juice), fenugreek seeds and curry leaves to hot oil.
Cook on low flame: Keep the flame very low and let the mixture boil slowly. Keep stirring continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Drain the oil: After about 20-25 minutes, when the onion paste turns light brown and the water dries completely, turn off the flame. Let the oil cool. When it cools down, filter the oil through a clean muslin cloth or a fine sieve and store it in a dry glass bottle.
Method of use: Warm the oil a little and gently massage the scalp and hair roots with your fingers for 10-15 minutes. Leave the oil on your hair overnight and wash your hair the next morning with a mild or sulphate-free shampoo.
