HOW TO USE ONION TO TREAT ALOPECIA AND ENHANCE HAIR GROWTH

Still think all those popular home remedies that talk about the use of onion to treat alopecia and regrow hair are hypes? We thought so too till we decided to find out what science has to say concerning this. 

Many people suffer from hair loss and there exist so many treatments for hair loss, such as Foligen supplements. 

One study decided to test the effectiveness of raw onion juice in the treatment of alopecia. The study divided participants into two groups, consisting of both males and females. The first group of people were going to apply onion juice on their hair while the second group (control group) were going to use just water. 
These two groups were asked to apply onion and water respectively, twice a day for 2 months

Results?
Just within 2 weeks, hair started to regrow for those who were applying crude onion juice while nothing happened in the control group
furthermore, at 6 weeks hair regrowth was seen in 86% of the patients with males having the highest rate of hair growth while for those who used tap water, only 13% of them saw scanty hair growth. 

This study concluded that applying onion juice on the hair twice a day can be an effective topical therapy for those who suffer from patchy alopecia. 

Hint: Garlic has also been shown to enhance hair regrowth by research
