Onion Oil for Hair Growth: Onion oil trend is increasing rapidly on social media these days. Many beauty influencers and hair care brands call it a miraculous treatment to fix the problem of hair loss. But does onion oil really increase hair growth or is it just a hyp or pr? Skin and hair expert Dr. Madhuri Aggarwal explains that sulfur and antioxidants present in onions can improve blood circulation by nourishing the scalp, which strengthens hair roots. However, misuse of this oil or the use of artificial fragrance onion oil can also affect the scalp.
Dr. Madhuri says- “Fragrance onion oil can cause damage”
According to Dr. Madhuri, onion oil can support scalp health in its natural form, but when it is added more perfume or artificial fragrance, it can cause irritation, itching or rashes on the scalp. Many market brands add artificial fragrances to reduce their oil smell. It damages the natural barrier of Fragrance Scalp and increases irritation. Also, if onion oil is not washed properly after applying it to the hair, the dirt and oil on the scalp can cause dandruff and fungal infection.

What is the right way to apply onion oil?
Dr. Madhuri recommends that before applying onion oil, check that there is no artificial fragrance or chemical. Massage the pure onion oil with light hands on the scalp for 10-15 minutes so that blood circulation increases. There is no need to leave it for a long time or apply overnight, as the onion’s hard nature can cause irritation by staying on the scalp for a long time. It should be washed thoroughly with a mild shampoo 30-45 minutes after applying. This will keep the scalp clean and will not be likely to infection or irritation.

Effect of onion oil- hope vs reality
Onion oil does not increase hair growth in a “magical” manner, but it is a helpful way. It nourishes hair roots by increasing scalp’s blood circulation. But if the reason for your hair loss is hormonal imbalance, diet deficiency or stress, then only onion oil will not benefit. It is better to use it with balance diet, right hair care routine and medical guidance.
