Use kalonji oil or fenugreek oil for oiling. It will help in dandruff as well as hair fall. Follow it up with steam and wash with sls free shampoo. Since you have dry hair, make sure you use a conditioner that has natural oils or glycerin listed as its active ingredient. Then do Fenugreek rinse and finish off with argan oil as your hair serum. And if you can try using egg and lemon hair mask or fenugreek hair mask.

BEcause of you, Istarted using aloe vera and fenugreek hair mask. My hairfall is now considerablystopped. Ty.
Please do!
Yes, usually you should strain all your hair masks before applying. I did the same mistake of not straining my banana mask the first time I applied it. Take care the next time hun!
I love its effects on my hair too.
Hey, thanks for sharing your recipe. I bet it would be very soothing because of the lavender essential oil. And yes, you can definitely skip jojoba oil or replace it with rosehip oil but jojoba oil actually works great.
I have been using aloe vera and honey hair mask for years. I love it.
You have a fine way of describing. I make my own aloe vera leave in conditioner. I take aloe vera gel, add lavender essential oil and whip them nicely. It does work for me but gonna give your diy a try too. Can I skip or replace jojoba oil with anything else?
I just bought aloe vera. I am gonna give these recipes a try.
I made the fenugreek seeds hair mask and forgot to strain it and the little chunks took a lot of time to come out. But loved how silky my hair hair felt after that mask.
