You can also make oil and apply. Firstly cut the small onions into small chops. Take a kadai or deep pan, pour in the virgin coconut oil and heat it, once it is heated put in the small onions and curry leaves (optional). Allow it to boil nicely and switch the gas off. Allow the mixture to cool down and strain and bottle the oil. Apply the oil on your scalp and leave for an hour or two and rinse with mild shampoo. This helps to improve the graying of hair too.
