Fenugreek may offer potential benefits for hair growth, although more research is needed.
Here's a breakdown of what the current evidence suggests:
-
Possible DHT Inhibition: Fenugreek might slow down the ability of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to bind to hair follicles. DHT is a hormone linked to hair loss, so inhibiting it could potentially help prevent or slow down hair loss.
-
Animal Studies Suggest Positive Effects: One animal study indicated that a herbal oil combined with fenugreek seed extract could lead to increased hair thickness and growth.
In summary, while preliminary research suggests fenugreek may be beneficial for hair growth due to its potential DHT-blocking properties and positive results in animal studies, more robust human studies are needed to confirm these effects.
