The Surprising Hair Growth Benefits of Cloves and Onion Peels

Often discarded as kitchen waste, onion peels are actually full of hair-friendly nutrients, especially sulfur. Sulfur is essential for producing keratin—the structural protein in hair—and supports collagen synthesis for follicle regeneration. Onion peels also contain flavonoids that protect the scalp from oxidative stress and may help delay premature graying.
