How to make onion juice
1. Cut the onion
Start by peeling and cutting your red onion into equal pieces.
2. Blend everything
Place your onion pieces in a blender and add enough water to cover the onion pieces.
Next, blend everything together until you get a juice-like consistency.
3. Strain the DIY onion juice
Place a strainer on top of a bowl and pour the onion juice. This should sift out any pieces.
Let it sit so that all the juice drains down to the bowl. You’ll notice the red onion juice turn into pulp.
Here’s your DIY onion juice!
4. Pour into a bottle
Pour the onion juice into a clean spray bottle.
It's ready to use! I’m sure you’ll agree that making this recipe is pretty straightforward. Now, let’s try it out.
How to use DIY onion juice and oil
1. Apply onion juice to hair
It’s best to use the onion juice before you wash your hair. Part your hair to make it easier to work with.
Start spraying your hair with the DIY onion juice and distribute it along each section of hair with your fingers. Repeat this around your head, ensuring you get the juice from root to tip.
Make sure that your hair soaks up the onion juice. When you’re done spraying the juice throughout your hair, go ahead and brush your hair. Also, use gloves as the smell is potent and will make your fingers smell.
2. Apply onion oil
Now, I’ll be adding some onion oil. You can find my DIY onion oil recipe here. Apply the onion oil through the hair, going section by section.
Make sure you rub the oil on your scalp, too. This homemade onion juice has been beneficial for my edges, so don’t forget to rub some on there!
When done with a section, divide it into two, and twist it before moving on to the next section.
Tip: Make sure your hair is detangled before applying the oil. I prefer using my fingers to a comb.
Once your whole head has onion oil and the sections have been twisted, twirl your ends and add more oil to your scalp.
Cover your hair with a plastic cap. I usually do this in the morning instead of the evening. I don’t want an onion odor on my pillow - no thanks! Keep the plastic cap on for the whole day.
I also place a bonnet and go on about my day. The next step is to wash your hair thoroughly.
