Hair and scalp problems bothering you? Instead of experimenting with expensive, sometimes even dangerous beauty products, you should try home remedies to ensure optimum hair health. According to a study, there are 41 plants from 27 families that can help you with various hair and scalp problems. The most common parts of these plants are oils and fruits, which can deal with issues like hair loss, dandruff, split ends, and lice.

One of the best plants for your hair is Amla, or the Indian Gooseberry, which is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C. It strengthens your hair roots and makes your hair thicker and healthier. Another great plant is fenugreek, which has a lot of protein and nicotinic acid. It prevents your hair from breaking and improves its density, giving you a shiny and beautiful mane. You could also try curry leaves, which offer antioxidants, amino acids, and beta-carotene that restore strength, prevent premature greying, and reduce hair fall.

Here are all the benefits of amla, fenugreek, and curry leaves for your hair and scalp health:

Boosts scalp circulation: Fenugreek and curry leaves are known to improve blood circulation in the scalp. Enhanced circulation ensures that hair follicles receive ample nutrients, which further promotes good hair growth.

Combats hair fall: Amla, fenugreek, and curry leaves collectively possess properties that combat hair loss. From strengthening hair roots to preventing breakage, this trio addresses the underlying causes of hair loss.

Nourishes the locks: Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, a blend of these three ingredients provides the essential nourishment your hair needs. Amla, fenugreek, and curry leaves work synergistically to strengthen each strand from within.

Here's how you can apply the trio to your mane for a transformative and refreshing experience:

Massage therapy: Heat coconut oil and add grated amla (you can also use dry powder), powdered fenugreek seeds, and crushed curry leaves and bring it to a boil. Strain and let it cool, later massage the mix  into your scalp for a revitalising treatment.

Hair mask: Mix amla and fenugreek powder, and crushed curry leaves with water or curd. Apply weekly for a deep-conditioning ritual,  for thickness and shine.

Herbal wash: Boil fenugreek seeds, amla, and curry leaves in water. After cooling, strain and use it as a final hair rinse for a natural luster and better hair health.
