Benefits of onion juice for hair
Onions are rich in dietary sulfur found in amino acids, which are components of protein. Within proteins, keratin is especially known to be sulfur-rich and is needed for strong hair. Sulfur is known to help promote collagen production, according to Healthline.

However, while it can protect or stimulate the growth of current hair, it cannot reverse hair loss-related illness.
