The unconventional ingredient offers several benefits to both you skin and hair.

One of the most versatile foods in your refridgerator&nbsp;has recently become&nbsp;the newest <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/spring-summer-2021-beauty-trends-fashion-week-runway">beauty</a>&nbsp;trend&mdash;onions. In recent years, customers have increased their&nbsp;search for natural components in skin and hair products and, now,&nbsp;the onion is a part of that shift. Although it may seem like an odd&nbsp;substance to use on your face (especially considering they can make you cry), its composition consists of a series of benefits that make&nbsp;it a perfect candidate for the list of favorite ingredients of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/slugging-k-beauty-trend-skincare" target="_blank">skincare</a> companies, already creating steam&nbsp;in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/slugging-k-beauty-trend-skincare" target="_blank">K-Beauty</a> products.

The benefits of onions are really encouraging, and continued research aims&nbsp;to better understand its effects on skin and hair. Due to its high content of vitamin&nbsp;A, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/9-benefits-of-vitamin-c-you-did-not-know" target="_blank">vitamin C</a>, and quercetin, a flavonoid with strong anti-inflammatory and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/why-should-we-drink-lemon-water" target="_blank">antioxidant</a> action, it&#39;s a great component for those looking to combat signs of aging, nourish the skin, and even fight <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-treat-prevent-maskne-acne-from-wearing-masks" target="_blank">acne</a>.

In addition, it can be a great ally for those suffering from hair loss. A <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12126069/" target="_blank">study</a> released by the National Institutes of Health of the United States stated, for example, that onion juice can be a great treatment&nbsp;in cases of alopecia. The study showed&nbsp;that in just 6 weeks of use, hair regrowth occurred in 86.9% of patients. But, it is worth mentioning that, in cases of alopecia, the search for a qualified professional to assist you in the treatment is essential.

But the benefits of onion do not stop there! In another study by the NIH, researchers&nbsp;noted that onion is a powerful component in the treatment of scars, pointing out that the use of onion extract gel improves their appearance in just 4 weeks of use, with application once a day.
