DIY Hair Growth Mask With Fenugreek Seeds & Black Seeds
Struggling with hair fall or thinning strands? You’re not alone. Hair issues can stem from stress, pollution, harsh products, or nutritional deficiencies. Thankfully, natural remedies offer safe, chemical-free ways to stimulate hair growth — and two of the most effective ingredients found in your kitchen are black seeds (kalonji) and fenugreek seeds (methi).
This easy, homemade hair growth mask blends the power of both these seeds with optional nourishing oils to strengthen roots, reduce breakage, and encourage faster, thicker hair growth. Whether you’re dealing with hair fall or just want longer, shinier locks — this is a potent, no-fuss remedy to try.
Ingredients Required
You’ll need the following simple, natural ingredients:
2 tablespoons black seeds (kalonji)
2 tablespoons fenugreek seeds (methi)
2 tablespoons aloe vera gel (fresh or store-bought)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional but great for hydration)
1 tablespoon castor oil (optional for boosting growth)
Procedure
Soak the Seeds:
Rinse and soak black seeds and fenugreek seeds in warm water overnight (about 8–12 hours).
Grind into Paste:
In the morning, drain the water and grind the soaked seeds into a smooth paste using a blender. Add a little water if needed.
Add Aloe & Oils:
Transfer the paste into a clean bowl. Mix in aloe vera gel, coconut oil, and castor oil. Blend well until creamy.
Optional Heating:
For better absorption, gently warm the paste using a double boiler method (don’t overheat — just lukewarm).
How to Use
Step 1: Detangle your hair and part it into sections.
Step 2: Apply the mask generously from scalp to tips using your fingers or a brush.
Step 3: Massage the mask into your scalp for 5 minutes to stimulate circulation.
Step 4: Cover your hair with a shower cap or towel to retain heat.
Step 5: Leave it on for 30–45 minutes.
Step 6: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow with a mild shampoo if needed. Avoid harsh chemical-based shampoos.
