Are you tired of dealing with excessive hair loss and dandruff? Prajakta Kohli swears by homemade hair oil to prevent thinning. Tap to read her father's 3-ingredient onion hair oil recipe for hair growth.
Ingredients
To make this magic hair oil, you need three ingredients: one cup of coconut oil, 1-2 small onions, and 8-10 curry leaves.
Fry onions
Heat coconut oil in a pan and add chopped onion pieces to this. Fry the onions until golden brown and strain the onions. Onion is rich in sulphur that reduces hair breakage.
Add curry leaves
Now, add curry leaves to the onion-infused oil. Fry them until crisp and remove them from the oil. Curry leaves help improve blood circulation.
Strain the oil
Let the oil cool down to room temperature. Strain the oil using a muslin cloth or sieve to remove coarse particles.
Store
Now, store the onion coconut oil in a glass bottle and let it rest overnight. It can last up to a month.
How to apply?
Take a small amount and gently massage it onto your scalp. Leave it 30-40 minutes and shampoo it with lukewarm water. Apply it twice a week.
Benefits of hair oil
Onions are rich in sulphur, which reduces hair breakage and strengthens hair follicles. Coconut oil helps deeply nourish and hydrate. Curry leaves improve blood circulation and reduces dandruff.
