Creating an onion water serum for hair fall is a straightforward process, and onion water is believed to have several benefits for hair health, including promoting hair growth and reducing hair fall. Here’s how you can make an onion water serum:

Ingredients:

• 1 medium-sized onion
• 2 cups of water
• Optional: a few drops of essential oil (such as lavender or rosemary) for fragrance

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Onion: Peel the outer skin of the onion and chop it into small pieces. You can use a food processor or blender to finely chop the onion.
2. Boil the Water: In a saucepan, bring two cups of water to a boil.
3. Add the Onion: Once the water is boiling, add the chopped onion to the saucepan.
4. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the onion simmer in the water for 10-15 minutes. This allows the water to absorb the beneficial compounds from the onion.
5. Strain: After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the onion water cool down. Once it’s cool enough to handle, strain the mixture using a fine sieve or cheesecloth to separate the liquid from the onion pulp.
6. Optional: Add Essential Oil: If desired, you can add a few drops of your preferred essential oil to the onion water for a pleasant fragrance. Essential oils like lavender or rosemary also have additional benefits for hair health.
7. Transfer to a Bottle: Pour the strained onion water into a clean, airtight bottle or container. This will be your onion water serum.

How to Use:

• Before using the serum, make sure your hair is clean and towel-dried.
• Using a dropper or spray bottle, apply the onion water serum directly to your scalp and gently massage it in using your fingertips.
• Make sure to cover the entire scalp area.
• Leave the serum on for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight, to allow the beneficial compounds to penetrate the hair follicles.
• After the recommended time, wash your hair thoroughly with a mild shampoo to remove any onion scent.
• Use the onion water serum 2-3 times a week for best results.

Note:

• While onion water is generally safe for topical use, some people may be allergic to onions or experience skin irritation. It’s recommended to do a patch test before applying the serum to your scalp.
• The smell of onion water may linger on your hair even after washing. You can use a scented conditioner or hair perfume to mask the smell if desired.
