It may also interact with DHT in the body to block its attachment with hair follicles. When DHT attaches to hair follicles, it leads to hair loss or hair thinning.
• Iron content in fenugreek helps boost blood circulation and carry oxygen and nutrients to hair roots, helping hair grow longer, faster and healthier. 
• Fenugreek seeds are rich in proteins. Hair is made of protein, and therefore fenugreek can aid in strengthening the roots of the hair.
