Benefits Of Using Homemade Curry Leaf Oil

Prevents Hair Loss

We all experience a little bit of hair loss each day, as it is a part of the regeneration process of the body. It is normal for ladies to lose about 30-50 hair strands on a daily basis, while combing or washing their hair. However, if you start losing more and more strands regularly, then you must start handling the situation by using something like curry leaf oil. The antioxidants in curry leaves give needed strength to the hair follicles and hence, control hair loss. The oil also gives nourishment to the scalp. Proper hot oil massage with it will also improve blood circulation, which helps prevent hair loss.

Protects From Premature Greying

While ageing is a natural process, wherein the skin becomes loose, the hair starts turning grey. However, given the current sedentary lives we all live, premature greying has become a common issue. If you’re not able to control what are you putting in your system, at least look after what are you applying externally on your body to avoid such problems. To keep the natural black shade of your hair, start applying this DIY hair oil regularly. The goodness of curry leaves, amla, and coconut, will make the hair strong and naturally black by promoting production of melanin.
