Externally it has been used to improve the appearance of the hair, below are some of the wonderful benefits Nettle has for your hair;

Using nettle is one of the oldest treatments for combating hair loss. Stinging nettle capsules and tea can be consumed to treat hair loss internally while a good scalp massage using nettle oil combats hair loss effectively.
