Fact or Fiction: Can Onion Juice regrow hair?

Onion is one of the most essential and tastiest foods out there. It is super necessary in every dish one eats, but recently it has come to hold a special feature. It has come to be believed that Onion Juice grows hair. What is onion juice and how does it help to grow hair?

Onion Juice for Hair Loss

Let us know first the technique to extract onion juice.
First to extract onion juice you have to:

1. Cut onions into small cub like pieces.
2. Put it in a blender till it looks like a paste.
3. Drain the juice out and remove the pulp.
4. With the help of a brush apply it gently on your scalp.

These 4 steps will extract you onion juice, but why is it believed to hold the special quality of growing hair?

Reasons why it is believed it grows hair!

Onions are rich in 'Sulphur', and sulphur helps in production of 'Keratin' the protein which is necessary for Hair Growth. Different type of Sulphur is also present in our shampoos. So Onion juice can also be efficient in removing dandruff from hair, but it should be used in small quantities, because higher sulphur can cause irritation to the eyes and also lead to red skin and some other severe skin complications.

But is it true that Hair Grows with Onion Juice?

Yes, it does in certain cases. It hasn't been researched thoroughly, so there is basically less information but there have been results in researches that have been conducted. But as a specific research showed which had 38 patients who had Alopecia Areata (an immune system disorder which leads to Hair loss) and their usage of onion juice. The results showed that above 80 percent people received results just above one month and about 75% saw results just in 2 weeks

Problems of these results!

The problem with this result is that it is done on a small sample size of just 38 patients and their condition is Alopecia Areata. But most of hair fall patients fall under the category of Androgenetic Alopecia (where due to genetic causes our hair is lost). This raises doubt about how effective it will be against Androgenetic Alopecia. But there will be researches in the near future which will show how effective it is on a grander scale and also in other types of Hair loss.
