But what can one do to control hair thinning? The following are some recipes one can prepare to resolve the issue.

Onion, along its function as an ingredient to most food recipes, can also help deal with thinning hair. According to Natural Living Ideas, onion contains sulfur, which is known to activate the production of collagen in the skin. Collagen helps in the repair of tissues; thus, using onion is a promising approach to hair thinning. In addition, sulfur boosts blood circulation and opens up the pores of blocked hair follicles; hence, it improves the growth and repair of hair.

According to Path to Natural Hair, the ingredients in making onion juice include a cup of water, a blender, bullet, or juicer, cheese cloth or straining tool, and an onion of any color and size. To prepare, the onion is cut into six sections for it to blend easier. Then, the onion slices are placed in the blender with a splash of water. After that, the blender is turned on, with water being added if the mixture becomes difficult to blend or to yield a thinner consistency. Then, the blended onion is poured over the cheese cloth or strainer to separate the onion puree and the onion juice. The onion puree is then discarded and the onion juice is applied to the affected area for 30 minutes. After the said time frame, the hair is rinsed with water and shampoo or conditioner.

Castor oil is another agent one can use for thinning hair. According to All Women’s Talk, the oil can also help deal with hair problems like bald spots and receding hairline.
