Stop Hair Loss and Graying Hair

Stop Hair Loss and Graying Hair

What the researchers found was that graying hair is primarily caused by a buildup of hydrogen peroxide at the root of hair follicles, due in great part to a reduction in the natural antioxidant compound catalase. In addition to helping cleanse the scalp and follicles, onion juice also promotes the production of catalase. Catalase prevents graying hair and thicker hair follicles.
