DIY Onion Hair Oil Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized onions
- ½ cup coconut oil or castor oil
- 1 tablespoon fenugreek seeds (optional, for added strength)

Method:
- Peel and chop the onions into small pieces.
- Blend them into a paste, then strain the juice using a fine cloth or sieve.

Application Tips for Best Results:

- Then, leave it on for at least an hour or overnight for maximum benefits.
- Finally, wash it off with a mild shampoo. Use it 2-3 times a week for best results.
Cautions and Precautions
Onion oil is a potent remedy, but it may not be suitable for everyone. Some people may experience mild irritation or allergic reactions. Always do a patch test before using it on your scalp.
Those with sensitive skin, eczema, or strong allergies should consult a dermatologist before use. Additionally, using onion oil too frequently can lead to excess buildup, so stick to the recommended application schedule.
