Making Onion Juice

• 1

  Peel off the skin from the onions and cut the onions into chunks.

• 2

  Place the onion chunks into the juicer, a few at a time.

• 3

  Juice the onions, taking the time to clean out the juicer periodically so it does not clog up. Otherwise, you will lose out on some of the onion juice.

• 4

  Transfer the onion juice to a glass jar for storage, and store any extra onion juice in the refrigerator. (Before using the onion juice on your skin, shake the jar and pour the amount you will be using into a glass and allow it to warm up to room temperature).

• 5

  Apply the juice to the affected areas of your skin by putting on the gloves and dipping a sterile cotton ball into the onion juice. Apply to the hair loss area. Repeat this process twice daily. You should see hair growth begin within two weeks.
