Curry leaf oil is one oil that has been shown to increase melanin production in hair. This is supported by several sources that cite its benefits in promoting melanin production in hair bulbs, leading to increased pigmentation and delaying graying. Kapiva Curry Leaf Grey Control Hair Oil specifically mentions this benefit. Another source, regarding a Grey Care hair oil, indicates that it boosts melanin production using 27 indigenous herbal ingredients. Amazon Grey Care Hair Oil
While several sources mention ways to boost melanin production generally (through diet, vitamins, and other methods), direct claims of specific oils besides curry leaf are limited in the provided references. The provided links mention benefits of certain oils but don't directly confirm increased melanin production. For example, the study on lotus flower essential oil PubMed shows it increases melanogenesis (melanin production), but it does not specify that applying this oil directly to the hair will achieve the same effect.
Other potential methods of increasing melanin in hair:
- Dietary changes: Increasing intake of vitamins A, C, and B12, and antioxidants, can support melanin production. SkinKraft
- Herbal remedies: Hibiscus is mentioned as a natural remedy for graying hair due to its vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant content. Traya Health
It's crucial to remember that while some oils and methods may support melanin production, the effectiveness can vary greatly depending on individual factors.
