Onion shampooo???ive never ever heard of thiss!
i wana try it!
I once tried this….the hair smells like crap for days
…
But it sure does condition the hair well
…try it, only when you’re on a break from work and plan on not venturing out of home for days 
for dayyzzz???? how long does the smell last swati?
days matlab 2 days…even after I shampooed thoroughly to get rid of the smell because I had college next day…ahhh, those memories!
eeeks which one did u tried Swati?
The onion one…though I did not keep it for 15 days, kept it just overnight…maybe that’s why the onion smell was so intense!
probably..ur poor poor hair ya..
and poor nose as well!
poor hair nai Z…hair became very shiny and smooth after using this…poor nose!
Swati u keep it for an hour or so ..it will show effect
haha! is that so? nowi really wana try this..but is there any way we can do away with the foul smell? using some essential oil perhaps?
Thats a great tip! BTW you should definitely try this…itna toh hum endure kar hi sakte hain for beautifull locks!
agghh overnight..i just kept it for 2 hours and it was more than enough..hatts off to you for the effort.
thank god ive never tried this….i thought masking egg ka smell wud b enough..but now onion too!
egg is nothing compared to onion’s smell on your air…its so insanely headache-inducing!
how did u bear it ya?
Zee anything for lush hair
haha..true..
chalo gals, me going to catch my ZZzz’s…Guni!
for the sake of beauty…that was a small price to pay for shiny hair.
haha..so true Swati…i wud do anything to make my hair knot free
same thing came to my mind
i”ll try onion and egg wala. thanks shivani 
Superb post, very helpful. Thanks!
Eesha recently posted..Spice up a lazy Sunday with Teal & Purple eye make-up!
love ur post shivani.
zara di,
if facing hair loss then do try onion shampoo for sure. it will help as an external treat
is that so? thanx for letting me kno dear..i was just going to ask how onion helped hair..and b4 i asked u leme kno! haha! u read my mind!
Onion juice also helps in getting rid of dandruff but the smell of onion juice is just terrible
i can imagine…whenever i use it for cooking, i cant wait to dump it in and cook it..the smell is terrible..but i guess if it reallt helps in hair loss control , then all is maaf1
thanks neha n eesha . n i hope this brings u desired results.
Shivani, a small query…in the orange shampoo, does the orange scent help in negating the egg smell?
yes di, fragrance of orange juice will help to suppress egg smell or u may add 2-3 drops lemon juice or orange essential oil to it(both for egg/onion shampoo) di.
Thanx so much..id luv to try ur tips as soon as i get back
m very curious to use homemade shampoos!
I’ll try with essential oil….oh the magical smells I will get to sniff along with the benefits of onions or eggs!
same here…might as well try to make it a pleasantly smelling experience
I am so going to try all of this when I get home…can’t be doing all this at hostel na!
..bookmarked!!
haha! y not Swati? get some eggs and oranges..and ur set!
oranges sounds great ..since I love citrusy smells so much, it would be fun to be going around with hair that smells like orange!
same here..its such a fresh and lovely scent…i feel energized after smelling them…its a gud idea t use it on hair as well!
yup before yur friends starts running away its better to try these at home ..my one of fav is mixing aloevera juice with shampoo..it conditions hair so well.
A, do we get AV juice easily in shops? ive seen the gels n all, but not the juice?
haan all patanjali stores has it Zee they r easily available in Heritage and many other stores.
me too will try this…aloe vera is very fuss free na…it will be easy to work with!
yeps..less effort and gr8 results!
just used aloe vera gel on my face…I have made a routine out of it now…every night for CTM, M= aloe vera gel for my oily skin!
Hopefully, kuch achha hoga
fingers crossed! can never use AV directly on my skin since i get an allergy..but if its a tiny component in a cream, then chalt ahai
thanks,
zara di n swati
and same to you, shivani!
good post…
but me only fan of normal shampoos..
got such oily hair.. and it only feels gud.. when i got super foam on my head
zara di
,one such brand is ALTIS ALOE JUICE. its for rs.300 for 500 ml(approx.) but a safer option.if interested then search in medical store for it 
if u wanna buy aloe vera juice, then go for stabilize juices (preservative free).they are better for both enternal n external usage
thanks for the recco shivani
is that so? i dint kno bout this…my knowledge in aloe vera stuff is so nil1 hehe..
Thanx dear..
Wonderful article! I’m gonna try a few recipes from here. The Tonic recipe with Shikakai is something my mom did for us until we were in school, and we never had any hair problem! Hair was thick, glossy and strong.
i guess we all have used any of the baove remedy in our child hood and i hope we are able to give our daughters the same
I hope so too Ana, but we all fall for the convenience a shampoo gives. Once the chemical makes its way to the hair, all the damage begins. This post is a good reminder Ana, I’ll try my best to give the best to my girl
i hope i tooo when i have a baby girl
i have already told u A, if i have a girl, m sending her to u..pls train her in makeup and make sure her hair is nice, silky n soft
thanks

pavani reddy recently posted..Simple PURPLE nail art
Good morning Pavani..How u doing??
no krupa , it wont but
if still worried abt it then reduce the time span , keep it on for 10 min. instead of 20
thanks pavani,
even i love some articles(robin sharma) on ur blog. keep it up n all the best dear
Thanks Shivani… just one query… I’ve always known lemon to have bleaching properties since we often use it for skin care to remove tan, etc. So, won’t it do the same to our hair – as in lighten the natural colour? Can it lead to greying of hair or it’s safe?
Forum recently posted..Alternative Therapies for treatment of cancer
my hair is really fine infact i was thinking of searching some remedies on internet when this came. I’d try the 1st egg shampoo pack.
So i better stick to egg or orange or amla tonic shampoo they should do good.
btw i have terrible allergy with onions i so love cooking but then chopping onions give me headache everytime.
Shreya recently posted..Health within
chopping onion gives u head ache…thas terrible..but u got specks how do they enter in yur eyes.
This time I am thinking of changing shampoo my hair has turned quiet dry this year even after oiling. Ana can you suggest me a good moisturisng shampoo, i tried dove didnt like it . Dove seems to leave some residue on my head
Shreya recently posted..Health within
Shreya… you already have fine hair. Dove will make your hair even more thin and cause severe hairfall… Im a victim
Please stay away from dove! TC
I tried once rupini and i didnt like it at all. Can you suggest me any better shampoo fr dry hair.
Shreya recently posted..Health within
Sorry shreya if im not able to help you much… i just got away from dove and in a process of finding a better shampoo… right now using Fab india Aloe vera shampoo + conditioner… it doesnt control dryness much when using it alone. I used bio musk root hair pack from biotique and then used this shampoo and conditioner( My hair was soft, shiny and bouncy) try it
my next try would be bio walnut bark shampoo or fab india avacado shampoo… if i find something better for my hair.. i’ll let you know for sure shreya dear…
awesome post shivani
