Benefits of Curry leaves For Hair:

1. Treats damaged hair:

Due to excess pollution and chemicals in artificial hair products, hair follicles may become clogged resulting in dull, damaged and weak hair. This may also cause hair loss. Curry leaves are very effective since it assists in the scalp restoration process, helping the hair follicles breathe and making them stronger. You can apply the paste directly on your scalp which helps repair the roots. Once your roots are strong, the hair will also grow faster! You could also consume curry leaves.

2. Reduces Hair fall and thinning:

Hair loss can occur due to improper diet, lack of proteins and even improper combing techniques. Curry leaves are a rich source of beta-carotene and proteins,which can reduce hair loss and increase hair growth. They also contain amino acids and antioxidants which strengthen the hair follicles and moisturise the scalp. Curry leaves also help remove the dead hair follicles, which can be the reason behind dandruff.

3. Prevents premature hair graying:

This may be caused due to genetic build-up, stress, alcohol and smoking. Curry leaves are a rich source of vitamin B, which help restore hair colour by nourishing and strengthening the roots.
