They contain a significant amount of protein, iron, vitamins, and plant compounds which can prevent hair fall, encourage hair growth, and cure scalp problems.

- Scalp Sensitivity: One can feel itching, irritation, or allergic reactions.

Fenugreek Side Effects in male
Men consuming fenugreek need to exercise caution because:

- Allergic Reaction: Some men can get irritated on the scalp while using fenugreek oil or paste.
- Blood Sugar Level: Since fenugreek reduces blood sugar, diabetic men must check levels if they use it regularly.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Treatment
PRP treatment is one of the most recent and exciting hair restoration treatments.
-What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy is a therapy that uses the patient’s own blood to promote the hair growth.
Blood is drawn, centrifuged to remove platelets, and infused into the scalp.
-How does it work?
Platelets have growth factors, which are used to restore injured tissue and activate resting follicles. This plasma is injected into the scalp, these growth factors enhance the blood supply, promote follicle survival, and promotes new hair growth.
-Procedure:
- A few drops of blood are drawn from the patient.
- Centrifuged to activate the platelets.
- The platelet-rich solution is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp.
-Sessions Required:
Usually 3–6 sessions are required, spaced at 4–6 weeks and followed by maintenance at 6–12 months.
-Effectiveness:
Best for early to moderate hereditary hair loss. Thickens existing hair and slows further thinning.
-Side Effects:
It can cause mild pain, redness, or swelling of the scalp for 1–2 days. No major long-term risk as it is using the patient’s own blood.
