We’ve already examined the health benefits of onions in the article “Onions: a precious resource in fighting bacteria”.

Today, instead, we’ll see how they can be used in place of conditioner, to create a 100% organic and very effective hair mask.

Preparing an onion-based nourishing hair mask is easy and only takes a few minutes. Simply cut one or two whole red onions (depending on your hair length) into very thin slices and boil them in a small pot. After about 10 minutes, once the onion has softened, remove it using a skimmer. Now add a couple of spoonfuls of honey and lean plain yoghurt to the liquid, mixing well so as to obtain a smooth texture, similar to that of hair conditioner. After shampooing and rinsing, cover the full length of your hair with this onion cream you’ve just prepared and let it sit for at least five minutes. Rinse thoroughly once again (without reapplying shampoo). If necessary, you can then rinse your hair with some apple cider vinegar to eliminate any undesirable scent from the onion mask.
Using this 100% natural method, your hair will immediately look shinier and healthier.
