Onion juice vs onion oil: Which is better for summer hair fall control?

Hair fall and sweaty scalp buildup are major concerns during the summer season, leading people to turn to natural remedies for long and healthy hair growth. Among the most viral DIY picks, people mostly go for either onion juice or onion oil, which nowadays have gained a cult status for their potential in reducing hair fall. So, let’s see which is a better choice and how to make it at home.

Summer heat increases oil and sweat production, which may clog the hair follicles. Onion juice can be beneficial in this situation because it is lightweight and feels less greasy compared to other oils. It doesn’t sit heavily on the scalp and is also perfect for acne-prone scalps. Rich in sulphur, onion juice helps strengthen the hair roots and improve the blood circulation, which helps in hair regrowth. The process requires patience and time.

Onion oil deeply nourishes dry hair and treats frizzy and rough ends by sealing the moisture into the strands. It creates a protective layer around the hair strands, reduces humidity, and is perfect for chemically treated locks, curly hair, and, of course, thick hair textures. It also temporarily prevents hair fall and improves blood circulation to the scalp by reducing stress-related hair fall.

For onion oil, you will require some coconut oil and 2 onions. Next, finely chop the onions, and toss them with the carrier oil in a pan. Now, cook until the onions turn brown, then simply strain, cool, and store them in a glass bottle. For onion juice, you will require 2 medium onions and a muslin cloth. Just peel and chop the onions, and blend them into a paste. Strain the liquid and apply it directly to the scalp. Leave the mask on for half an hour, then wash your scalp with a good shampoo.

Both help with summer hair growth, but the best choice depends on one’s hair texture and scalp nature. If you have an oily scalp, sweat heavily, experience intense scalp buildup, or your hair gets greasy easily, then onion juice should be your final choice. But if your hair feels dry and frizzy, with a flaky scalp, requiring deep conditioning and nourishment, then onion oil is the only pick for you.
