TLDR Ridge gourd may promote healthy hair growth and delay graying.
Ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula) is highlighted for its potential in promoting healthy hair growth due to its rich content of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These components may strengthen hair follicles, improve scalp circulation, and reduce oxidative stress-related hair damage. Additionally, ridge gourd extracts might aid in melanin restoration, potentially delaying premature graying, while its natural enzymes and moisturizing properties could reduce hair breakage and enhance shine. Although promising, further clinical studies are necessary to confirm its effectiveness and optimize its application in hair-care products.
