Benefits of the onions for hair

Strengthening and restoring effects after the application of masks based on onions are the result of the action of onion juice on the scalp and hair follicles. Thanks to active substances that irritate the skin and thereby improve blood circulation in it, passive follicles "wake up", and the growth of the hair itself is markedly accelerated. More often for care of locks use juice and a pulp of onions with addition of aromatic oils and other natural components. But onion husks are used as a basis for home lotions and rinses, which give hair a natural sheen and a beautiful golden hue.

The composition of onions includes:

• sulfur - has an activating effect, promotes the appearance of new follicles, improves growth
• Potassium - removes excess fat on the scalp
• Vitamin PP - gives shine, prevents premature falling out
• vitamin C - promotes the production of collagen, which is responsible for the silky and elasticity of the curls
• glycosides - improve blood microcirculation
• phytoncides - have bactericidal properties, help fight dandruff
• organic acids - restore the visited and damaged hairs
