11 Natural Ways To Use Curry Leaves To Increase The Hair Growth

How to Use Curry Leaves for Hair GrowthWho doesn’t want to have healthy and lustrous long hair? Hair is undoubtedly, one of the most prized physical features that can change the entire appearance of a person. An average person’s hair grows a quarter inch every month. But there are certain factors such as stress, trauma, hormonal changes and dietary changes that can affect the natural pace of hair growth.

Although there are no shortcuts or miracle cures to have longer hair, but there are a few natural ingredients that can speed up the process of hair growth such as curry leaves.

Are Curry Leaves Really Helpful for Hair Growth?

  • Curry leaves boost the restoration process of the scalp which opens up the clogged hair follicles and allow them to breathe.
  • The antioxidants and amino acids present in curry leaves strengthen the hair follicles and moisturize the scalp.
  • Beta-carotene, vitamin B6 and proteins present in curry leaves stop hair thinning, strengthen the hair shafts and improves overall quality of the hair.

How to Use Curry Leaves for Hair Growth?

There are several ways of using curry leaves to improve the hair growth. We have mentioned them below for your convenience.

1. Curry Leaves

  • Take 2 cups of fresh curry leaves and put it in a blender.
  • Add some water to it and blend the leaves to make a smooth paste.
  • Apply this paste all over the scalp and leave it on for an hour.
  • Wash off with water.
  • Repeat this process 2 to 3 times a week.

Note – You can also use curry leaves powder instead of fresh curry leaves for this remedy.

2. Curry Leaves Tea Rinse

  • Boil a handful of curry leaves in 2 cups of water.
  • Simmer the mixture until the water reduces to half.
  • Let the tea cool down completely.
  • Apply the tea on hair and scalp.
  • Leave it on for an hour and then rinse your hair with water.
  • Repeat this process several times a week.

3. Curry Leaves and Coconut Oil Hair Tonic

The fatty acids present in coconut oil bind with the natural proteins in the hair and protect them against breakage. Massaging the scalp with coconut oil boosts circulation to the scalp and stimulates hair growth. Coconut oil is loaded with natural antioxidants, vitamins E, K and iron that nourish the hair roots.

  • Heat a cup of coconut oil on low flame.
  • Once the oil heats up, add handful of fresh curry leaves to it.
  • Wait till the leaves turn black.
  • Remove the oil from heat and let it cool down.
  • Massage the oil onto your scalp and hair.
  • Leave it on overnight and rinse your hair next morning with a mild shampoo.
  • Follow this remedy 1 to 2 times every week.

4. Curry Leaves and Hibiscus Hair Pack

Both hibiscus flowers and leaves are a rich source of vitamin C and amino acids that strengthen the hair from the roots and prevent hair loss. Its mucilaginous nature conditions the hair and adds volume.

  • Take 10 fresh hibiscus flowers, a few hibiscus leaves and a handful of curry leaves in a bowl.
  • Put all the ingredients in a mixer and add a little bit of water to prepare a smooth paste.
  • Apply this pack on your scalp and hair using a hair colouring brush.
  • Leave it on for an hour.
  • Rinse your hair with water followed by a mild shampoo.
  • Use this remedy once every week.

5. Curry Leaves and Curd Hair Mask

Curd is loaded with protein and vitamin B5 that nourishes the hair follicles. The creamy texture of the curd moisturizes and conditions the hair strands. Its antibacterial properties relieve itching, irritation and hair fall caused by dandruff and fungal infections.

  • Crush a handful of curry leaves with some water to make a paste.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of sour curd to it and mix well.
  • Apply this mixture to your scalp and hair.
  • Leave the application for an hour.
  • Wash your hair with warm water followed by a mild shampoo.
  • Repeat this remedy 2 to 3 times per week.

6. Curry Leaves and Onion Pack

Sulfur, one of the main components in onion promotes hair regrowth by clearing out the clogged hair follicles. The pungent juices of onion also increase blood circulation in the scalp which in turn stimulates and rejuvenates the hair follicles.

  • Peel a medium sized onion and grate it.
  • Extract the onion juice from the pulp and add a tablespoon of fresh curry leaves paste to it.
  • Mix the ingredients using a spoon and apply it all over the scalp.
  • Wait for 20 minutes and then wash off with a mild shampoo.
  • Repeat this process twice every week.

7. Curry Leaves and Amla Paste

Amla or Indian Gooseberry is one of the richest sources of vitamin C and it also contains a number of antioxidants and amino acids that strengthen the hair follicles, increase scalp circulation and induce new growth. Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties of amla treat dandruff, scalp infections and inflammatory scalp conditions.

  • Take 2 to 3 fresh amla and cut them into halves.
  • Discard the seeds and put the amla halves in a mixer.
  • Add a handful of curry leaves and some water into the mixer.
  • Grind them to form a thick paste.
  • Apply this paste to your scalp and hair.
  • Leave it on for a couple of hours.
  • Wash off with a mild shampoo.
  • Repeat this process 2 to 3 times per week.

8. Curry Leaves and Ginger Hair Pack

The slight warming effect of raw ginger promotes blood circulation to the scalp and encourages healthy hair growth. Antioxidant gingerol present in ginger fights off the free radicals that damage the hair follicles.

  • Peel a 2 inch piece of ginger and cut it into thin slices.
  • Put the ginger slices in a mixer and add a handful of curry leaves and some water to it.
  • Grind all the ingredients to make a paste.
  • Apply it evenly all over your scalp and leave it on for an hour.
  • Wash off with a mild shampoo.
  • Follow this treatment 2 to 3 times per week.

9. Curry Leaves and Fenugreek Paste

Fenugreek seeds are loaded with protein that supplies nourishment to the hair follicles and rejuvenates them. Fenugreek also contains lecithin that moisturizes and strengthens the hair from the roots.

  • Soak a cup of fenugreek seeds in water overnight.
  • Strain the seed and put them in a grinder.
  • Also add a handful of curry leaves and some water into it.
  • Grind all the ingredients to make a paste.
  • Apply it to your scalp and hair.
  • Let it sit for an hour.
  • Wash your hair with water followed by a mild shampoo.
  • Repeat this remedy 2 to 3 times a week.

10. Curry Leaves and Rosemary Rub

Sulfur and silica content in rosemary essential oil reverses hair loss while its powerful antioxidant property strengthens the roots and promotes hair growth. Rosemary also promotes scalp circulation and unblocks the clogged hair follicles.

  • Crush a handful of curry leaves to from a smooth paste.
  • Add 5 to 8 drops of rosemary essential oil to it and mix it well.
  • Apply it to your scalp and hair evenly.
  • Leave it on for a couple of hours.
  • Rinse your hair with water followed by a mild shampoo.
  • Repeat this remedy several times a week.

11. Curry Leaves Juice and Lemon Juice Mix

Lemon juice is loaded with vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, folic acid and antioxidants that nourish the hair from the roots and fight off scalp infections. Lemon juice also stimulates circulation in the scalp and cleans away chemical deposits, dirt, sebum and dandruff from the hair roots.

  • Take 1 tablespoon each of lemon juice and curry leaves juice in a bowl.
  • Soak a cotton ball in this mixture and apply it all over the scalp.
  • Leave it on for an hour and wash off with a mild shampoo.
  • Follow this method 1 to 2 times a week.

Tips and Precautions:

  • Although, curry leaves are safe but some people may develop allergic reaction to curry leaves. So, it is recommended to perform a patch test before using curry leaves as a remedy.
  • The hair might feel a bit sticky after using curry leaves remedies because of the natural constituents in the leaves. But the stickiness will disappear once the hair dries up completely.
  • You can include curry leaves in your diet to get its health benefits and promote hair growth.
  • Use natural oils such as coconut oil, castor oil, almond oil or olive oil to massage your scalp twice a week.
  • Manage stress by practicing meditation, breathing exercises, yoga, etc.
  • Trim your hair every 3 months to get rid of the split ends.
  • Follow a diet rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and fiber to prevent nutritional deficiencies.

      Yes, you can but repeat the process only 2 or 3 times in a week. Repeating the process too many times can strip off the natural oils from the scalp. This can worsen the scalp condition and lead to more hair loss.

    Hello all,
    I am a first timer here with very frequent hair fall and greying hair. I would like to share my experiences here. I am not going to mention any brand names of the medicines I have tried or still trying.
    I was taking tablets that had shark cartilage as the main ingredient for 1 year. Yes It did promise hair growth and I saw very few tiny hairs not more than 3mm that used to fall after a drying my hair after a shower. But I stopped that and started taking this incredible curry leaf porridge/soup( 50 GM packets containing curry leaf, ginger, garlic all in powder form), A Sri Lankan product sold in shops here in Australia). 15 grams of this powder + a cup of hot water, taken 5 days a week. Started using it for the past 1.5 months and since last week, I can see significant amount of tiny hair .5cm to 1cm in length all over the washbasin after a drying my hair after a shower! My advice is just buy authentic curry powder from a shop or even better grind it at home and take 15 to 20 grams in hot water. The botanical name of the product I use is given as Murraya Koenigie.

      You can boil curry leaves in any oil (coconut, olive or castor oil) suitable for your scalp. Heat a cup of any oil on low flame, add handful of curry leaves into it. Wait till the leaves turn black, remove from the flame and let it cool down until lukewarm. Strain and apply the oil on the scalp. Leave the application overnight and rinse off the next morning. Repeat the process 2 – 3 times in a week.

Drink plenty of water to keep the scalp hydrated. Reduce stress, get plenty of sleep and perform hot oil massage at least once in a week.
