Yes fenugreek can help regrow hair and keep your hair healthy.

To use fenugreek to regrow hair and for hair growth soak 2 tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in water and leave it overnight in a cool place.

Grind the seeds into a paste using the same water, which will turn out to be sticky and slimy (this slippery substance is known to impart shine to your hair).

Apply it on the roots of your hair and leave it for 20 minutes.

Fenugreek is pretty safe but fenugreek does have some potential side effects which include diarrhea, nausea, digestive issues and sometimes but rarely dizziness and headaches.
