• Now take a glass jar and add fenugreek powder and pour the hot olive oil on it.
• Let the goodness of seeds and oil infuse together for at least 48 hours.
• And that’s it! Your fenugreek hair oil is ready to use.

I usually make a larger batch and store it for a month and use it twice weekly.

How To Use Fenugreek Hair Oil?

• Simply start by detangling your hair and make sure you remove all the hair tangles. Then parting your hair in smaller sections and use your finger tips to apply the oil well. Do a scalp massage this oil for 5 minutes using your finger tips and avoid using your nails.
• For faster hair growth, incorporate inversion method for faster hair growth and use a steam cap for better penetration of fenugreek oil in your scalp and hair shafts.

Use this hair oil twice a week. You can make this oil in larger batches but make sure to use it within a month.

Make Fenugreek Hair Masks For Hair Growth

 

If you are a regular reader of HCS, you might already know that I use aloe vera and fenugreek hair mask for frizzy hair very frequently. The benefits of fenugreek for hair is that it helps in adding that lost shine and brightens your dull hair and will definitely help in hair loss and regrowth of lost hair.

For making this homemade fenugreek hair mask you will need:

• Fenugreek seeds– 2tsp
• Aloe Vera Gel-2tsp(preferably  freshly extracted aloe vera gel but you can use store bought too)
• Yogurt/Curd(unflavored)-1tsp

Method Of Making Fenugreek Hair Mask

• Soak fenugreek seeds overnight in water.
• Next morning, grind soaked fenugreek seeds, aloe vera, and yogurt together and make a smooth paste.
• Now strain this hair mask using a muslin cloth. This is an important step and please don’t skip it. Otherwise small chunks will stick to your hair and you will end up spending lot of time, energy and water trying to remove these small chunks.

Now apply this hair mask by parting your hair in small sections. Make sure you apply generously and cover your scalp and hair well. Leave the mask on for an hour. You can rinse the hair mask with normal water then shampoo and condition your hair as usual.

Do this twice a month and you will notice the benefits of fenugreek hair mask yourself!

Can I leave the fenugreek water over night?

Yes, you can leave the fenugreek water on your hair overnight. It won’t harm your hair. You can also add few drops of rosemary essential hair oil to it to control the bitter smell and it will help control your hair fall faster.
