Honestly, all I can do right now is smell onions. I’m trying out a new shampoo recipe which contains Onion.
Yes, Onion. Onion juice is one of the best things for your scalp and hair follicles. It helps keep a healthy scalp and even can help regrow hair.
Janina and I did a small experiment this summer (During one Mother/Daughter Day LOL) and we applied Onion juice raw onto our scalps and massaged it in. Just to see.
We took turns. One would let it sit for 10-15 minutes then get the other juiced up for her turn sitting while the first went and showered. Shampooing our hair like 3 times to wash out the smell.
Paul swore my hair still smelled like onion a couple days later. I couldn’t smell it anymore. LMAO🤣 (Yes, he often has to put up with me and my little experiments, but this is how you learn new things! LOL)
On the plus side, even after just that one time I noticed a difference in my scalp and hair. I had baby hairs on my hairline, thicker than it’s been in years. This is like fertilizer for your head! IF you can stand the smell. HA! 🤣
So I’ve been researching. I’ve already made a great Black Molasses Shampoo bar and my liquid shampoo had my hair growing longer than I could get it ever before…. so what If I combined these ingredients into one super scalp/hair growth shampoo bar??
It’s in the process of being made! I just need to freeze my onion juice first.
I juiced a gallon of onions, which I grew myself here this summer.
Oh. My. God. The. Smell. I was chewing gum, trying to be a mouth breather the entire time. I had tears running down my face, my shirt was getting wet! I didn’t dare wipe any tears off my face, or I’d have onion on my face skin, and I’d be so much worse! Onion fragrance had permeated the air throughout the kitchen so much I could taste it.
I can only imagine Paul’s face when he walks in after work. HA! 😐
All in the name of science, I say!! 🤣
I’ll try this new shampoo on myself and a couple volunteers first before I market it, but I am pretty confident. Every ingredient is already GREAT for your hair and super safe/natural.
Really the only thing I need to perfect is the essential oil ratio to cover any lingering onion smell. HA!
This will be fun! (Obviously you can tell I’m excited)😁
I’ll let y’all know how it turns out in a few weeks!
Now, I have Migraine Relief tincture to go strain and bottle!
Since we’re talking “Science” a bit, let me know what is the best little science experiment you’ve tried yourself?
Take care of yourself, AND your hair!
OPE! (< Yep that’s Wisconsin slang. LOL) I almost forgot todays affirmation card!
This is a great card today! I should feel proud. All these concussions and I’m still alive. I have the best family & friends. I’ve learned (& keep learning) a TON of awesome, useful information that I use by doing what I do best. Making my teas, tinctures, lotions, shampoos, etc. that help my family and now, many others.
Later!
*Hugs*
Come spill the tea with me!
