This vegetable is the secret to strong and shiny hair

It's all about the sulphur

You probably didn't know, but the humble onion is just bursting with goodness for your hair. The sulphur it contains is in fact really good for making your hair grow. It also contains numerous minerals which reinforce the hair fibres. If you regularly use it in a hair mask then your hair will grow naturally much faster, but will also be much healthier.

The onion mask recipe

Making the mask is really easy, just grate an onion (or a few, depending on their size) then press the pulp to get the juice. Then apply this juice with a hair-dye brush to avoid getting the smell on your fingers. Leave the mask on for 30 minutes then wash your hair. For best results, repeat twice a week—you'll see a real difference in the quality of your hair. And we promise you your hair won't smell like onions at all!
