Rice water is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals. It strengthens the hair shaft, adds shine, and improves hair elasticity, making it less prone to breakage.

Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Blend the onion to extract the juice, then strain it to remove any pulp. Onion juice is the key ingredient for stimulating hair growth.
