While beauty comes from within, certain things work miraculously to give you the voluminous and silky mane of your dreams.
If you see a neverending bunch of hair in your comb or while showering, curry leaves can reverse the damage done and give you a dense looking ponytail!
Why are curry leaves excellent for hair?
Uberly rich in antioxidants and proteins, Curry leaves are known to neutralize the free radicals that harm your hair health. From combatting hair loss to getting rid of dandruff and itchy scalp, there’s nothing the humble curry leaves can’t do.

Apply this mask on your hair length and scalp. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing off with cold water.
2. Coconut curry leaf tonic
