4. Onion-Honey Hair Mask :
What you need:
2 tablespoons of fresh onion juice (grate and strain the onion)
1 tablespoon of honey
Process: Mix the onion juice and honey in a small bowl. Stir until both ingredients are completely blended. If the smell is too strong, you can add a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender or rosemary.
Application: Apply the mixture evenly to your scalp and hair roots. Leave it on for 20–30 minutes, as onion juice is rich in sulfur, promoting strong, healthy hair growth. Rinse thoroughly with shampoo to remove any lingering smell.
Process: Heat the coconut oil slightly and mix it with the amla powder to create a thick paste. Make sure the mixture isn’t too hot to apply comfortably.
Application: Massage the paste gently into your scalp, focusing on areas prone to thinning. Leave it on for 30–40 minutes. Rinse with a mild herbal shampoo. The antioxidants and nutrients in amla promote hair growth and strengthen roots.
