Methi (fenugreek) is a popular spice and herb in Indian cuisine, and it also offers several benefits for hair health when used topically or consumed internally.
Strengthening Hair Roots
Methi seeds are rich in proteins, which can help nourish and strengthen the hair roots, preventing hair fall and promoting healthy hair growth.
Conditioning
Methi seeds contain a compound called lecithin, which hydrates and moisturizes the hair, making it softer and more manageable. This can help reduce frizz and make the hair appear smoother.
Dandruff Control
Methi seeds possess antimicrobial and antifungal properties that can help control dandruff and scalp infections. A paste of methi seeds applied to the scalp can soothe itching and reduce flakiness.
Improved Hair Growth
Methi seeds are a rich source of iron and other minerals that promote hair growth. The proteins and vitamins in methi seeds also help nourish the hair follicles and stimulate hair growth.
Prevention of Premature Greying
Methi seeds contain compounds that may help delay the onset of premature greying of hair. Consuming methi seeds regularly or applying methi paste to the hair and scalp can help maintain natural hair color for longer.
