Introduction
If you've been searching for a fast, natural, and budget-friendly way to stimulate hair growth, look no further than your kitchen and bathroom cabinet. A surprising duo — Vaseline and onion — is gaining attention in DIY beauty circles for its potential to boost hair growth dramatically. While results may vary and scientific evidence is limited, anecdotal claims suggest that this combo can stimulate blood flow to the scalp, nourish hair follicles, and even add shine and moisture. Here's how to use it effectively for optimal hair benefits.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
1 small red onion or white onion
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for easier application)
Cheesecloth or fine strainer
Small mixing bowl
Directions:
Prepare the Onion Juice:
Peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
Blend or grate the onion to extract its juice.
Strain the mixture through cheesecloth or a fine strainer to collect the juice.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of Vaseline with 1 tablespoon of onion juice.
(Optional) Add a few drops of coconut oil to make the consistency smoother and reduce the onion scent.
Mix thoroughly until you get a creamy texture.
Apply to Scalp:
Part your hair into sections.
Using your fingertips or a small brush, apply the mixture directly to your scalp, especially focusing on areas where hair growth is desired.
Gently massage in circular motions for 5–10 minutes to stimulate circulation.
Let it Sit:
Cover your hair with a shower cap or wrap.
Leave the mixture on for 30 minutes to an hour. For best results, use at night and wash it out in the morning.
Rinse Thoroughly:
Use a mild shampoo to remove the mixture completely.
Follow with your regular conditioner.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Store any leftover mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Allow the Vaseline to return to room temperature before applying again.
Use the treatment 2–3 times a week for best results, but avoid daily use to prevent buildup.
