By Kumutha

Is your hair fall rate gone so high that bald spot is beginning to show? Is no remedy making any difference to your rapidly thinning hair? Then, it's time to give this onion juice hair mask a try!

We have been hearing so much about onion and its magical properties for hair that we had to find answers for ourselves! And this is what we found out.

Hair fall happens due to loss in sulphur protein. Onion contains methysulfonylmethane, a highly soluble form of sulphur that helps in the formation of keratin, which in turn boosts hair growth.

Onion also has antibacterial properties as well that break down the yeast buildup in scalp, remove flaky dandruff, control excess oil secretion and kill infection-causing bacteria.

Furthermore, onion packs a powerful punch of antioxidants that reverse the signs of grey hair and add an irresistible shine to your locks.

To boil it all down, onion juice hair mask can transform the way your hair looks and feels. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to fill in the bald spot naturally using onion.
