How do you make onion shampoo at home?
Would you like to test the onion in your hair? Good news: it’s super easy to make your own homemade onion shampoo. This mixture, when applied regularly, can transform the health of your hair. Here’s how to do it.

Shake the bottle and let the mixture sit for 15 days. This is a crucial step for the onion to release all its properties. Be patient, the reward is worth it!
Step 4: Use it like a regular shampoo
After the 15 days of rest, you can use this homemade shampoo. Wet your hair, apply the mixture to your scalp and massage gently to stimulate blood circulation. Rinse thoroughly with warm or cold water and then apply your usual conditioner to detangle your hair.
