Homemade hair tonic?

Does anyone have a recipe for homemade hair tonic? God bless.

Interesting...

Inquiring minds want to know.

Never tried this myself but I've heard about chopping up an onion and steeping it in about 1/2 a cup of rum for 3 days, then straining it.

Oddly enough, onion is reputed to be stimulate hair growth. I've seen it used in products, but using it straight probably doesn't smell very good...

Try "Mack's Barbers Guide" (1908).Scroll down to pdf page 116 (text page 108)
I love these old manuals. You'd be amazed at the little gems you can find in 'em.

Somehow I think showing up at work smelling like a drunk that had an onion for breakfast just wouldn't fly.

There are so many hair tonics on the market I'd like to try, I can't imagine trying to stew up my own homemade brew!?!? To each his own!

Oh you mean one you would wear all day? That one you put in at night and wash out in the morning.

I suppose it might depend on what you want the hair tonic to do? Vinegar works really well on dandruff. It's intense using vinegar in the shower, but once your hair dries, the smell disappears. It's also good for getting rid of build-up from shampoo and product and stuff.

I know this if kind of old but I found some more recipes.
