Gray hair is a natural part of aging, but many people are turning to traditional remedies instead of harsh chemical dyes. One of the most talked-about combinations lately is cloves and onion — and according to generations of natural beauty tips, this mix may help darken hair naturally, nourish the scalp, and revive shine over time.
🌿 Why Cloves and Onion?
🧅 Onion
- Rich in sulfur, which supports keratin production (the protein in hair)
- Promotes hair growth and strengthens follicles
- May help restore melanin (the pigment that gives hair its color)
🌿 Cloves
- Contain antioxidants and eugenol, which improve scalp circulation
- Naturally darken hair over time when used regularly
- Strengthen roots and reduce hair fall
