Onion has been humanity's humble healing bulb for over 7,000 years, originating in the mountains of Central Asia before spreading across ancient civilizations. While tears may flow during preparation, the hair benefits of onion oil have brought joy to countless generations seeking lustrous, thick hair.
Ancient Egyptian texts from 1550 BCE describe onion preparations for preventing baldness, with hieroglyphs depicting priests applying onion-based treatments to pharaohs' scalps. The Egyptians understood that onion's pungent compounds could penetrate deeply into hair follicles, awakening dormant growth cycles.
In ancient India, Ayurvedic physicians documented onion's ability to reverse "khalitya" (hair loss) through its heating and penetrating properties. They discovered that onion juice mixed with honey could halt premature graying and restore youthful hair vitality. Village healers passed down secret formulations combining onion with herbs like bhringraj for complete hair restoration.
Greek and Roman physicians, including Hippocrates and Pliny the Elder, prescribed onion treatments for alopecia. They observed that regular application of onion juice could regrow hair even in cases of pattern baldness, attributing this to onion's ability to "draw blood to the surface" and nourish starved follicles.
During the Middle Ages, European herbalists refined onion hair treatments, discovering that fermenting onions in wine created even more potent hair growth elixirs. These preparations became closely guarded secrets in royal courts, where thick hair symbolized power and vitality.
Onion oil's exceptional sulfur content makes it one of nature's most effective hair restoration treatments, addressing multiple causes of hair loss simultaneously.

A 2014 study in the Journal of Dermatology found that participants using onion juice experienced hair regrowth in 87% of cases within 6 weeks, with men showing slightly better results than women. The study attributed this to onion's high sulfur content and ability to improve collagen production.
Onion oil's therapeutic properties extend beyond hair care:
In Ayurveda, fresh onion juice is extracted and combined with coconut oil, creating "Palandu Taila"—a potent hair restoration oil. Traditional preparations include fermenting onion juice with black seed oil for enhanced penetration. South Indian traditions incorporate onion with curry leaves and fenugreek for comprehensive hair treatment.
We use cold-pressed onion seed oil combined with steam-distilled onion bulb extract, capturing maximum sulfur content while minimizing odor. Our proprietary extraction process preserves the quercetin and allicin compounds while creating a pleasant-smelling final product that delivers all of onion's benefits without the tears.
Extract juice from 1 medium onion using a blender and strainer. Mix 2 tbsp onion juice with 2 tbsp coconut oil and 1 tsp honey. Add 5 drops lavender oil to reduce odor. Massage into scalp for 5 minutes, leave for 30-45 minutes, then shampoo twice. Use 2-3 times weekly for best results.
