Ingredients
- 1 small fresh onion
- 1–2 teaspoons of white toothpaste (avoid gel types for best results)
- A grater or blender
- A small bowl
Instructions:
- Extract Onion Pulp: Peel the onion and grate it finely or blend until it becomes a smooth pulp.
- Mix with Toothpaste: Add the toothpaste to the onion pulp and mix well until you have a thick, consistent paste.
- Test on a Small Area: Before applying to a large area, test the mixture on a small patch of skin to ensure there’s no irritation.
- Apply to Unwanted Hair: Spread the paste evenly over the area you want to treat.
- Leave for 15–20 Minutes: Let it sit and dry on the skin.
- Remove Gently: Rub the area in circular motions with your fingers or a damp cloth, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Benefits of This Method
- Painless – No waxing or plucking.
- Affordable – Uses ingredients you already have at home.

Things to Keep in Mind
- Not Instant Permanent Removal: This method may need to be repeated 2–3 times a week for noticeable results.
- Skin Sensitivity: Onion and toothpaste can cause mild irritation in sensitive skin, so always patch-test first.
- Avoid Broken Skin: Don’t use on cuts, rashes, or sunburnt areas.
