Onion
Onions are rich in sulfur, which is essential for healthy hair growth. They also have anti-inflammatory properties that promote a healthier scalp environment. You can make homemade onion oil by mixing raw coconut oil with onion juice and applying it to your scalp daily. Alternatively, there are commercially prepared onion shampoo and conditioner products available. To use onion juice directly, soak a cotton pad and rub it on your scalp for 30 minutes before rinsing with a mild shampoo.
Ginger
Ginger is famous on TikTok as a treatment for hair growth, although there is no scientific proof yet. However, ginger does help treat dandruff and strengthen hair strands for overall health. It contains anti-inflammatory and antiseptic compounds, reducing oxidative stress on the scalp and preventing hair loss. Grate fresh ginger and combine it with onion juice to form a paste. Apply this paste to your scalp for 30 minutes before washing off with a natural shampoo.
Aloe vera
Aloe vera has been valued for its medicinal benefits to hair health. It contains vitamins and minerals that promote healthy hair and can be used to prevent dandruff and soothe an itchy scalp. Aloe vera effectively cleanses the scalp without damaging hair strands and has antifungal properties. Opt for organic aloe vera that has been freeze-dried for maximum effectiveness. To use, extract the gel from an aloe leaf and store it in the fridge. Apply the gel to your scalp and leave it on for a while before rinsing.
Eggs
Eggs provide many nutrients that stimulate hair growth and prevent premature graying. They support healthy roots and maintain the natural oil balance on the scalp, preventing breakage. Egg whites contain vitamins and minerals that improve hair condition and act as a conditioner. Whisk a whole egg with olive oil and apply it to your scalp. Leave it on for 30 minutes before rinsing with cold water. This treatment nourishes your hair and adds natural shine while repairing damage.
