Strained Onion Oil in Coconut Oil, Once a Week
Onion pieces warm in coconut oil, the onion is strained out, and one spoon of the cooled oil goes on the scalp once a week before a wash.
A weekly spoon of onion coconut oil
Chopped onion warms in coconut oil over the lowest heat until the oil smells of onion. The pieces are strained out and the oil cools completely. Once a week, one spoon is massaged into the scalp with the fingertips, then shampooed out.
This is not raw onion juice left on the skin, and it is not a promise that hair will grow back. Onion in the eyes stings badly, and a scorched batch should be thrown away. The oil is external, smells strong, and is washed out the same day. Skip broken or infected skin.
Ingredients
- Half a small onion, chopped
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon of the strained onion and coconut oil for the scalp
How to prepare
- Warm the onion pieces in coconut oil on the lowest heat until the oil smells of onion. Do not brown or fry them hard.
- Strain out every piece of onion and cool the coconut oil fully before it nears the scalp.
How to use
- Once a week, take one spoon of the cooled onion oil.
- Massage it into the scalp with fingertips, keeping it out of the eyes.
- Shampoo it out the same day. The smell is a reason to plan this on wash day.
Helpful habits
- A short, pale simmer is enough. Dark fried onion makes a harsh oil.
- Label and keep the jar closed. Use it within a week, sooner if the smell turns sour.
Precautions
- Do not apply hot oil, and do not leave onion pieces on the scalp.
- Keep it out of the eyes. Stop if the skin stings, and skip broken or infected skin.
- Wash it out the same day. A weekly external spoon is not medicine for hair loss.
