How to make the miracle Hair Mask
You will need:
- 1 tablespoon fenugreek seed powder
- 5 to 6 tablespoons yogurt (use plain, whole fat)
- 1 to 2 tablespoon olive oil(optional, use for very dry hair)
- 1 teaspoon shikakai powder(optional, gives hair body and bounce)
- 1 teaspoon amla powder(optional, helps to darken hair)
- 1/4 cup water (optional, to thin out the mixture)
Yogurt too is very beneficial for hair. It’s full of protein, which works to strengthen the hair shaft, thus preventing split ends and breakage. At the same time, yogurt also conditions, moisturises and adds volume and shine to your hair.
And if you are struggling with never-ending dandruff, the combination of yogurt and fenugreek is excellent. Yogurt contains healthy bacteria that help to fight dandruff-causing yeast. Also, the lactic acid in the yogurt has gentle exfoliating action. It will get rid of dead skin and flakes and promote a clean and healthy scalp.
Mix fenugreek powder, yogurt (and other ingredients if using) in a bowl, cover with a lid and set aside of 2 to 3 hours. During this time, fenugreek seed powder will swell, and the entire mixture will thicken up and become slightly slimy.
If you think the mixture is too thick to apply, add a few tablespoons of water to make the mixture more creamy.
How to use:
Start with dry or damp hair. Apply this mask to your scalp and hair. Put on your shower cap or wrap your head in a muslin cloth or a towel. You can also leave your hair uncovered as this mixture won’t drip.
Leave this on for 20-30 minutes, then rinse off thoroughly. Wash with a natural shampoo and let your hair dry naturally. Do this mask once a week to restore and maintain your hair.
Enjoy your beautiful hair!
