Methi

Shweta Shah, celebrity nutritionist and founder at Eatfit24/7, told indianexpress.com that fenugreek seeds (methi) are abundant in folic acid, vitamin A, K, and C, and are a storehouse of minerals such as potassium, calcium, and iron. “They also have high protein and nicotinic acid content, which helps prevent hair fall and dandruff, and in treating a variety of scalp issues like dryness, baldness, and hair thinning,” she said.

Curry leaves (kadhpatta) and coconut oil

Curry leaves are rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients that may help strengthen hair roots, reducing hair fall. “They also contain beta-carotene, which can rejuvenate and condition the scalp,” she mentioned, adding that coconut oil is known to aid hair growth since the oil has anti-microbial properties.

Onion juice

“Hair is made up of keratin (a protein) that has been found to contain sulfur. Onion juice is also rich in sulfur. When added to the hair and scalp, onion juice may provide extra sulfur to support strong and thick hair, and thus could prevent hair loss and promote hair growth,” said Dr Rinky Kapoor, consultant dermatologist, cosmetic dermatologist, and dermato-surgeon, The Esthetic Clinics.

Hibiscus

Dr Kapoor added that hibiscus is known for its conditioning properties, promoting hair growth, and preventing hair fall.

For some people, the mixture can create dryness after hair washing. “In such a situation, especially when your hair is frizzy, you need to apply conditioner,” she said.
