There are several ways to take advantage of all the properties of onion for hair, but if you want to test the revolutionary method of shampoo made with this food, note the following steps.

First, you'll need to gather the necessary ingredients, which are 1 bottle of shampoo - around 350 ml approximately and a medium onion. You can use any shampoo you like, but our recommendation is that you consider the strong odor that has the product after preparation. If you don't like the gorgeous smell of onion, try to camouflage it by choosing a scented shampoo. For those who incorporate ingredients in their formula, citrus can be a good choice, for example. For hair strengthening and growth, you could also add some shikakai powder, which has cleansing properties.

To begin with the preparation, first you have to peel the onion, cut into medium pieces with a knife and then introduce the pieces into the shampoo. Close the bottle and shake vigorously making upward and downward movements so the onion integrates seamlessly with the shampoo and this is then impregnated with the onion's magical properties.

Next, leave the magical mix to ferment for at least fifteen days. Keep the mix in a dry place, free from moisture and away from any source of heat. After those fifteen day, your onion shampoo is ready to be used. The smell may not seem ideal at first, but really is wonderful. Wash your hair and when you dry it, you'll notice that the scent will have disappeared from your hair.

Instead of making onion shampoo why not use onion shampoo available in market. I heard Newish Onion Shampoo is really good and organic. I found it on amazon. Please kindly confirm if it's good or not,

does the type of onion make any difference?

After 15 days should I leave the onion in the shampoo or remove from the bottle?
Jane Bertin (oneHOWTO editor)
Keep it in! The fifteen days are the necessary period for the product to settle, and after that you can use it normally.

Nice. I'll definitely be trying it.
