ABSTRACT
Onions are highly nutritious, being a significant source of Vitamn C which also
contains sulfur, folic acid, quercetin, biotin, iron, protien and other minerals. Rice are also
highly nutritous that contains minerals such as niacin, selenium, folic acid, B1-B6, thiamin,
Vitamin B, Vitamin K and the list goes on. The rice are served cooked usually, same as
the onion but the onion, it can also be eaten raw. Treatment is one of the medicines that
can help in treating damaged hair.
The procedures are simple. First, gather the materials needed in creating the hair
treatment. Second, ferment the rice using water and wait after 12-24 hours (the longer it
ferments the better). When the rice water is done fermenting, cut the onion finely or grate
it using a grater, then, using a clean cloth, extract the onion’s juice into a bow then add
lemon juice or any type of essential oil. Using a strainer separete the rice from the water
and set it aside. In another bowl, add the onion juice w/ essential oil and the rice water.
Then, using a funnel, carefully put the mixed ingredience into a strerilized bottle. Spray
it onto your scalp after washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner then rince it after
30-60 minutes. You can use either the both ingredients, the rice water or the onion juice
since the both has the same outcome.
The Rice Water and Onion Juice Hair Treatment can be used as a substitute in
treating damaged hair.

3. Is the product “sales worthy” minding that the scent is completely natural and
without preservatives?
This study aims to prove that the basic information we know about plants can be
beneficial to us. Just like in our study, the rice water and onion juice or hair treatment

people, especially the un-wealthy, can benefit from this because there is no need to
spend a huge amount of money. People who have lots of onion plants in their backyard
or garden and having the abundancy of rice can also benefit from this. More importantly,
we must know how to use the plants that surround our environment since the only ones
This study focuses on the ability of the extraction the onion juice and the fermentation of
the rice water as a substitution remedy in treating hair deficiency. In this manner, it is

submerged land in the coastal plains, tidal deltas, and river basins of tropical,
semitropical, and temperate regions. The seeds are sown in prepared beds, and when

India, Japan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Thailand, and Myanmar (Burma). Other important
