TLDR Fenugreek seeds may improve hair health and growth.

Fenugreek seeds, rich in bioactive compounds like saponins and flavonoids, show promise in promoting hair health by enhancing scalp blood circulation, stimulating hair growth, and preventing conditions such as dandruff and hair loss. Their antimicrobial properties help strengthen hair follicles and reduce scalp irritation. When combined with other herbal oils, fenugreek can improve hair texture and overall health. However, further research is necessary to understand the mechanisms of action and standardize its use in hair care products.
