    TLDR Red onion and Angelica gigas extracts promote hair growth and improve hair health.
    The study examined the hair-growth effects of a mixture of Allium cepa (red onion) and Angelica gigas Nakai extracts (RAG) in 25 C57BL/6 mice over 4 weeks. The RAG group demonstrated superior hair growth and antioxidative effects compared to control and 5% minoxidil groups, with significant improvements in hair follicle health and reduced oxidative stress markers. The study suggested that RAG could be a promising natural alternative to chemical hair loss treatments, potentially offering fewer side effects.

      community Does onion juice actually stop hair fall, or is it just hype?

      in Treatment 3 months ago
      Onion juice may temporarily improve hair health by boosting blood circulation and providing antibacterial benefits, but it is ineffective against genetic or hormonal hair loss. Proven treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are recommended for more reliable results.
