Hair fall is very common concern, be it a males or females. As healthy, shiny and bouncy hair is considered as crowning pride, loosing them in bunches can be pretty distressing. Though it is normal to lose 50-100 hair strands a day, but above that could be the sign of undiagnosed health concern.
When we try to find out solution for hair fall, we get many suggestions like shampoos, oils, home remedies from social media, friends, relatives. One of such remedy is onion juice. Though onion juice could be useful in hair fall but only for one specific type of hair fall, and for not all types.
Onion juice is rich in sulphur and phenolic compounds. This can lead to the irritant or allergic reaction, when applied to the scalp. This irritant property is useful for alopecia areata, a type of hair fall in which all hair of one circumscribe area is lost, leading to development of bald patches over scalp. In this condition, the inflammation set by irritant action of onion juice, can stimulates hair follicle, by altering body’s immune response. But there are no sufficient data to prove it without any controversy. If onion juice is applied for other type of hair fall, it can lead to scalp irritation, and deterioration of existing hair fall.
Do visit dermatologist, if you are suffering from any hair issues, for the correct diagnosis and treatment.
