Unwanted hair is something many people struggle with, and while salons offer waxing, threading, or laser treatments, not everyone can afford them—or wants to use harsh chemicals. That’s why natural remedies have become so popular. One surprising combination that has gained attention is toothpaste and onion as a home method for hair removal.
Why Toothpaste and Onion?
- Toothpaste contains mild abrasives and cooling agents like menthol that can weaken hair roots and soothe the skin.
- Onion juice is rich in sulfur, which nourishes the skin while making hair thinner and less noticeable over time.
When combined, they are believed to slow hair regrowth naturally while being gentle on the skin.
How to Try It at Home
You’ll Need:
- 1 medium onion (extract the juice)
- 1 teaspoon white toothpaste (avoid gel types)
- Cotton ball or applicator brush
Method:
- Peel and crush the onion to extract fresh juice.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of toothpaste with 1 teaspoon of onion juice until smooth.
- Apply the mixture to areas with unwanted hair (face, arms, or legs).
- Let it sit for 15–20 minutes until it dries.
- Gently rub in circular motions, then wash off with lukewarm water.
- Repeat 2–3 times a week for best results.
