The onion is known for its intense flavor and strong smell, and it makes for a great ingredient in cooking, but you should also know that its benefits don’t end there. Onions are rich in anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties that may help with skin and hair care.
Similarly, fenugreek seeds, also known as Methi, are known to promote hair growth based on multiple scientific studies.
You might be wondering right now if this seems too far-fetched, but read on to find out more about the benefits of using onion and fenugreek hair oil.
In a 2018 study published in the Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics, researchers found that a shampoo with onion extract:
Delivered nutrients to the hair follicles more effectively than most other compounds
Provided better nourishment to the hair follicles
Moisturized dry hair and scalp
Reduced hair fall
Effectively promoted overall hair growth
VLCC’s Onion & Fenugreek hair oil, along with ingredients such as olives, almonds, and black seed oil, promotes new hair growth while significantly reducing hair fall.
In a 2018 study published in the Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics, researchers found that a shampoo with onion extract:
Despite the lack of clinical studies on this subject, it has been observed through home remedies that onion extract can reduce greying and even reverse it.
It is possible that the antioxidant compound called catalase, which is present in onions, helps reduce hydrogen peroxide at the roots of the hair. This is why onion extract is good at reversing greying of hair.
Onions may contain compounds such as kaempferol and quercetin, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. They also help with increasing blood flow in the scalp.
Another benefit of onions' anti-inflammatory properties is that they can help soothe and calm an irritated scalp.
As mentioned earlier, onions have antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Since dandruff is caused by a fungus called Malassezia furfur, onions’ antifungal properties help with reducing and controlling dandruff
Benefits Of Fenugreek Seeds For Hair
Fenugreek is a herb originally from North Africa and made its way to the Mediterranean and India. Known as methi in India, this herb has been used in culinary and medicinal traditions (Ayurveda) for centuries.
Fenugreek seeds are rich in iron and protein, which make them indispensable for hair growth. And like onions, fenugreek seeds also have anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties. Fenugreek seeds have shown promise in a few modest human and animal trials to promote hair growth.
Fenugreek seeds are also rich in vitamin B3, which improves blood circulation and reduces inflammation in the scalp.
Fenugreek has been used for a long time to treat conditions that cause dry, irritated skin, such as dandruff, characterized by an itchy, flaky scalp. These symptoms may occasionally result in transient hair loss.
Dandruff can be brought on by several factors, such as excessive oil production, fungal infections, irritation, and dry skin.
Fenugreek seeds have been shown in some trials to have anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, antifungal, calming, and wound-healing qualities.
Having gone through the various benefits of topical application of onion and fenugreek seeds extract for hair, let’s look at how to make the best use of these ingredients. Fenugreek oil for hair has been used across different cultures to boost hair growth and maintain optimum hair.
