It has been found that the application of onion juice helps prevent premature greying of hair. It is perfectly safe to use onions to prevent hair loss and stimulate hair growth. Onions help hair growth without any side effects or allergic symptoms. There is no need to use artificial substances on the hair to boost hair growth, as you have this readily available, affordable and safe method at your disposal. Onions are rich in sulphur, which promotes the production of collagen in the hair tissues.
