Follow these precise steps to prepare and apply your scalp treatment effectively:
- Peel and Chop the Onions: Remove the paper-like outer skin and chop the red onions into small, uniform cubes.
- Blend to a Puree: Place the chopped onions into a blender along with the filtered water. Blend on high speed until you achieve a smooth, liquid puree.
- Strain the Juice Thoroughly: Pour the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl. Squeeze firmly to extract every drop of clear juice. Filtering out all solid pulp is essential so bits do not get stuck in your hair strands.
- Add Optional Essential Oil: Stir in your chosen essential oil to soften the pungent fragrance while adding extra scalp-stimulating benefits.
- Apply to Clean Scalp: Part your hair into sections and spray or pour the liquid directly onto your scalp. Gently massage your scalp using your fingertips for 5 minutes to boost microcirculation.
- Leave On and Rinse Out: Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave the rinse on for 20 to 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, followed by a mild, sulfate-free shampoo and moisturizing conditioner.
