Masks for hair from onions: recipes
Prophylactic mask
The easiest way to make a mask from a hair onion is to get pure juice from it. For this, the onion needs to be chopped and squeezed out the juice from it. About three tablespoons of onion juice should be rubbed into the roots and left for one and a half to two hours. For the time of this procedure, the head is recommended to wrap in a special cap or polyethylene film. Rinse off with shampoo.
This onion mask is more suitable for maintenance of the general tone and preventive purposes. Apply the mask once a week for two months.
Nourishing Onion Mask
As in the previous recipe, it is necessary to squeeze onion juice. One tablespoon of natural honey and the same amount of yogurt and burdock are mixed with two tablespoons of fresh onion juice. The mixture is thoroughly mixed and used for rubbing into the roots of the hair. The remaining amount of the mixture should be evenly distributed throughout the length of the hair and wrap your head in a polyethylene film. The mask is washed off in an hour using a shampoo.
Vitamin mask
For such a mask, one tablespoon of onion juice should be mixed with the egg yolk. Then one tablespoon of castor oil or burdock oil is added to the resulting mixture. Afterwards, three drops of essential oil of ylang-ylang or lemon and five drops of the vitamins oil solution are poured into the mask. After rubbing the mask into the roots of the hair, it should be kept for about half an hour. In the case, if there is intense burning, the mask needs to be washed off immediately.
Onion mask for hair growth stimulation
To prepare this mask, mix the onion, carrot and lemon juice (in two tablespoons) in equal proportions. Then add a teaspoon of burdock oil and dry yeast diluted in warm water (a spoonful of yeast into two tablespoons of water) into the resulting mixture. Vitamin mask is also rubbed into the roots and covered with polyethylene head. It should be washed in an hour.
An onion mask that prevents hair loss
One small onion should be crushed, mixed with two teaspoons of burdock oil, and then the resulting mass must be rubbed into the roots of the hair. With increased hair loss, the mask should be applied at least three times a week, immediately before washing the head. It is advisable to conduct at least thirty procedures. Do not forget that only systematic procedures will bring the desired result from the use of onion hair masks.
Regular use of masks from onions (once every two days for at least a month) will give your hair beauty and health. For the prevention of such masks can be used once or twice a week.
Often there are cases when the reason for rejection of onion masks is their specific odor, which remains after using the remedy. But it is worth noting that this is an individual matter. An unpleasant smell, basically, can remain on wet and damaged hair. In order to get rid of the smell of onions, you can rinse your head with a solution of apple cider vinegar, after which you should again use the shampoo. Apple cider vinegar can be replaced by adding a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice to the rinse water.
