You’ve probably heard of applying curry leaves to your hair oil, but have you tried drinking curry leaf-infused water? Curry leaves are high in beta-carotene, protein, and iron, a trio that helps in hair regeneration, reduces hair fall, and prevents premature greying.

When you consume curry leaves in water form, they work from the inside out to cleanse the scalp and nourish hair roots. Plus, it’s a great way to detox your body and boost your digestive health- another often overlooked factor in hair quality.

How to consume: Boil 10–15 fresh curry leaves in a cup of water, strain, and drink on an empty stomach a few times a week.

Bonus tip: Don’t forget the basics

Hair doesn’t grow in isolation. Hydration, sleep, hormone balance, and gut health are all part of the equation. If your digestion is poor or your stress levels are through the roof, even the fanciest hair vitamins won’t help much.

Also, be consistent. No single meal or miracle food will make your hair grow six inches in a month. But building the right dietary habits can make a world of difference over time.
