Is there any real medical evidence that using onion juice can help with hair growth? If so, how should I apply it and in what form? I've been losing hair, particularly from the crown and have a receding hairline. I tried minoxidil and multivitamins, but they haven't really worked. What else can I do?

There is some evidence to suggest that onion juice may help enhance hair growth due to its sulfur content which may improve blood circulation to the hair follicles. You can apply onion juice directly to your scalp, leave it on for about 30 minutes, and then wash it off with a mild shampoo. You can do this 1-2 times a week. However, please note that individual results may vary and it may take some time to see any noticeable effects. You can also consider using a hair growth shampoo containing minoxidil.
