News India Live, Digital Desk: As soon as winters start, a common sad story of 80% of us starts – hair fall. Hair on the pillow in the morning, hair on the bathroom drain while bathing, and when you comb, there are clumps in your hand! The dry air of winter absorbs all the moisture from our scalp, due to which dandruff increases and the hair becomes weak and starts breaking. We buy the most expensive conditioners from the market, but the result is the same. But, do you know that the ‘Onion’ lying in your kitchen basket is no less than gold for your hair? Yes, we know that on hearing the name of onion, you must have remembered its strong smell. But believe me, if your hair fall is saved by tolerating a little smell, then the deal is not bad. Come, let us understand in simple language how to use it. Why onion after all? Onion contains a special element called Sulphur. Sulfur is most important to strengthen the roots of our hair. When you apply onion juice to your hair, it wakes up the sleeping hair follicles. Blood circulation increases and thin hair starts becoming thick and strong. Additionally, its anti-bacterial properties also eliminate stubborn winter dandruff. The right ‘desi’ way to use it: You don’t have to put in a lot of effort for this. Just follow these simple steps: Extract the juice: Take a medium sized onion (try to have a red onion, it is more effective). Grate it or grind it in a mixer and filter it through a cotton cloth to extract its juice. Apply with cotton: Now take a cotton ball, dip it in the juice and apply it slowly on your scalp i.e. hair roots. Take care that it is applied thoroughly to the entire head. Massage and Relaxation: Massage with light hands for 5 minutes and leave it on the hair for 20 to 30 minutes. There is no need to keep it longer than this. Wash: After this, wash the hair with any mild shampoo. If the smell bothers you? Many people cannot tolerate the smell of onion. There is a solution for that too! Mix a little coconut oil or a few drops of lemon in onion juice. This will reduce the smell and will also provide extra nutrition to the hair. Caution is necessary not to use it more than once or twice a week. Too much of anything is bad. If you are applying it for the first time, apply a little bit behind the ear and check (Patch Test) to see if you are feeling any irritation. Our suggestion: Keep your hair covered during the winter season and avoid washing your hair with hot water. And yes, trust this home remedy. This treatment from the time of grandmothers is still prevalent among big hair treatments. Only regularity is necessary.
