Steps
Method 1 of 3: Prepare Fenugreek Seed Mask for Thinning Hair
Step 1. Grind the seeds
To get this mask, you need to powder fenugreek seeds. Put 2 tablespoons (20 g) of seeds in a coffee grinder and grind them into a fine powder.
- You can buy them in many grocery stores, but if you can't find them near your home, try looking at an Indian food store, organic food or herbalist's shop. You can also order them from an online spice and herb vendor.
- If you don't have a coffee grinder, you can use a blender or food processor to reduce the seeds to powder.
- You can also buy them directly in powder form. However, you will get better results if they are freshly ground.
Step 2. Combine the powder with the oil
Add the ground seeds and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of coconut oil to a small bowl. Mix the ingredients well with a spoon so that they blend completely.
If you prefer, you can use olive or argan oil instead of coconut oil
Step 3. Apply the mask to your hair and leave it on for a few minutes
Once you have the mask, use your hands to apply it carefully between the strands. Pay particular attention to areas prone to thinning or hair loss. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- You can warm up the mask before applying it to make it easier to penetrate the hair. Mix the ingredients in a glass bowl, measuring cup or jar and place the container in a pot filled with hot or boiling water for a few minutes so that it warms gently in a water bath.
- You can also generate heat by wearing a shower cap or wrapping your head with cling film.
Step 4. Rinse your head and wash your hair as normal
After 10 minutes, wash off the mask with warm water. Then, use a mild shampoo to wash your hair normally and finally apply the conditioner.
Method 2 of 3: Make a Miraculous Mask with Fenugreek Seeds and Yogurt
Step 1. Mix the fenugreek seeds powder, yogurt and oil
Add 1 tablespoon (10 g) of ground seeds, 5-6 tablespoons (90-110 g) of plain yogurt and 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of olive or argan oil. Mix the ingredients well with a spoon and make sure they are completely blended.
- You can grind fenugreek seeds, but store-bought powder is fine as well.
- In general, whole yogurt is best suited for this type of mask. Provides proteins that help strengthen hair and repair it from damage.
- If you have long and / or thick hair, add a little more yogurt and oil.
Step 2. Let it sit for several hours
Once the ingredients are combined, cover the bowl with a lid or cling film. Then, let the mixture sit for 2-3 hours so that it thickens.
If the mask becomes too thick, you can adjust its consistency by diluting it with a maximum of 60 ml of distilled water
Step 3. Spread the mask on your hair and scalp, then let it work
Spend a couple of hours to make it thicken, apply it on the hair and scalp. Leave it on for 20-30 minutes.
It is not necessary to cover the head because the mixture will not drip. However, wear a shower cap or apply cling film to retain heat and warm the mask so your hair can absorb it more easily
Step 4. Wash your hair normally
When it's time to take off the mask, rinse your head with warm water. Then, wash your hair as usual with shampoo and conditioner, then let it air dry.
You can apply this mask once a week to enhance the softness and shine of your hair
Method 3 of 3: Make a Fenugreek Seed and Lemon Mask Against Dandruff
Step 1. Soak the fenugreek seeds
Fill a cup or bowl with water. Pour a handful of fenugreek seeds and let them soak for six hours or a whole night.
For best results, use distilled or filtered water
Step 2. Make a mixture with the seeds
Once they have soaked for several hours, drain the water. Put them in a coffee grinder and grind them until you get a paste with a coarse consistency.
In the absence of the coffee grinder, you can use the blender
Step 3. Mix the mixture with the lemon juice
Put the newly created dough in a bowl with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of lemon juice. Stir with a spoon until the ingredients are completely combined.
For best results, use fresh lemon juice. However, you can use the packaged one as long as it is 100% pure
Step 4. Apply the mask to the scalp and leave it on
Once the dough is prepared, spread it gently on the scalp. Pay particular attention to areas prone to dandruff. Let it sit for 10 to 30 minutes.
Lemon juice can have a dehydrating effect on the hair. If they are particularly dry or damaged, leave the mask on for only 10 minutes
Step 5. Rinse and wash your hair
When it's time to take off the mask, rinse your head with warm water. Apply the shampoo and conditioner you usually use to wash your hair.
