It's no secret that it can be hard to grow your hair.

Not everyone is blessed with flowing, glowing locks, as much as many of us wish we were. But, according to experts, you can apply a simple ingredient to your tresses which can help them look a lot more gorgeous.

A recipe has been shared by @myhealthandbeautyrecipes on TikTok, which claims something quite surprising can aid hair growth and prevent hair loss too. Apparently, onion juice is the key to promoting thick hair and healthy hair growth.

It may sound unusual, but there are said to be a number of reasons why it works. The "magic" formulation is said to be the health secret to growing long, luscious locks right down to your bottom.

In the clip, @myhealthandbeautyrecipes says: "Onion juice provides extra sulfur to support thick, healthy hair - preventing hair loss and promoting growth. The sulfur in onions also promotes collogen production, which aids in the development of healthy skin cells and hair growth. For strong, smooth and silky hair, apply rosemary oil or rosemary water."

The video has been viewed hundreds of times since it was shared, and people thanked the content creator for revealing the recipe. But, is there actually any truth in what he's saying? Well, little you may know, onion juice is actually a known remedy for hair health, specifically for hair loss. For decades, people have used this as a home treatment.

According to Healthline, the juice can be an effective way to treat hair loss in some people, and it can also work to restore luster and shine. Onion juice can also aid in stopping the premature greying of hair, as well as being used to treat dandruff.

Science shows there are various ways the juice can help, as onions are high in dietary sulfur - a nutritional element our bodies need. Sulfur is detected within amino acids, which are components of protein, and are needed for strong growing hair.

If applied to the hair and scalp, onion juice can add extra sulfur to support strong and thick hair, which works to prevent hair loss and boost the hair's growth. It's also possible the sulfur works to help promote collagen production, which aids in the production of healthy skin cells and hair growth.

While there is little evidence to show that rosemary water aids hair growth, it can increase blood flow to the scalp and reduce inflammation. Some research suggests rosemary could increase growth rates as a result of its anti-inflammatory properties.
