You can buy it in powder form as well, that lends better to making a paste/mask. My local Indian store sells both so I always have it on hand. As far as masks I like to mix up, henna glosses and bentonite clay masks are my go-tos.

The possibilities are endless for fenugreek, sometimes I take the seeds , olive oil, avocado oil, grape seed oil & coconut oil & add them to a crockpot heat on high then low until it’s fully infused. I use as a hot oil treatment on washday & it’s great,

This looks like a great idea. How long do you keep the heat on high? And how long do you keep it on low? Thanks in advance.

I will try that how long do you let it simmer

I use it in my Shea butter mixture, add peppermint oil, castor oil, olive oil, fenugreek powder and alma powder.

This was very nice! Thank you so much for sharing! Just in time for me to take these braids out, because my dry hair needs something!

Curly chemistry just did a whole thing on fenugreek!

Go Melissa, putting out the content!! Love it!💜

Thanks for all your feedback on my last fenugreek video!! Let me know what masks you like to mix up in general! xox

Hot water is key. I take 2 spoon fulls of seeds. Place in a jar. Add boiling hot water. Let sit over night. Drink that water and eat some of the seeds. Take the rest of the seeds add more hot water and blend that. Yours was tooooo thick. You’ll get that baby food consistency with more hot water. I do that daily. I keep my hair in braids, apply the mask and rinse out the next day. Let my hair air dry, add grease to my ends and repeat. I’ll add all kinds of stuff to my masks but yea.

How's the growth

I make a fenugreek infused oil using CP's recipe, I also make a variety of different hair masks combining both fenugreek seeds soaked in oil for months & fenugreek powder in hot water. I mix and add rose water and aloe vera (whole plant - juiced). It is a bomb detangler and conditioner! 😍

I use banana and coconut milk with my Fenugreek seeds or powder because it blends better. Last one I made, I added fresh aloe vera and olive oil with the other ingredients and it was a WIN 🏆for me!! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the tip will try that

I mix mine with Curls Blueberry Mask or Shea Moisture Manuka Honey.

Thanks! I love my fenugreek rosemary oil!

I 😍😍 fenugreek seeds. I add a little Hibiscus & aloe vera powder, peppermint essential oil.

I really enjoy fenugreek oil in my mixes. I normally use Amla as a base.

I use a stocking to strain it. It gives me less residue in my hair so I do not have to do 2 rinses. That or a co-wash for extreme rinse. Thank you for another great recipe to try. Continued Blessings 🙏🙏🙏💜 thé channel.

Great tip I will do that

Thanks for this recipe. ❤️

I love fenugreek and cassia with some olive oil and a little aloe Vera water or powder.

I make my mask much thinner than a oaste. It's much easier to rinse out of my hair.

I use fenergreek seeds and aloe mostly and the liquid from soaking them I make a spray with honey and oils

You just need two tablespoon or 10ml you don't need more seed just more water

I use fenugreek powder (cuz I'm lazy😁). Then I add the powder to castor oil.

Thank you so Much for this video I just began drinking FG water but didn’t wanna just throw the sprouted seeds out

I need to try this

Thanks for the video. I will.not definitely try it. Your hair is gorgeous!!😍 .

I wish you could just take care of my hair for me 😩 it can get kind of tiring sometimes😅

I think a big barrier to more natural/herbal treatments is a high likelihood of messiness or inconvenience. An ounce of preparation is worth a pound of correction. Finely blend your home concoctions with the purée setting on blenders/food processors, and adequately dilute and not overpacking the appliance. Double strain with a fine mesh. And don’t be shy to double strain again if you still feel even a little bit of grittiness. The smoother the application, the smoother the rinse out. A super slippery conditioner helps too. I use V05 Kiwi conditioner after all powder/clay/herbal treatments because it can get all the particles to slide right out of my hair. *Nut milk bags are life!* I would even say a nice delicates bag is a better option than cheesecloth (Target has one with a fine mesh that costs ~$5. I double that and I make bath teas all the time. Literally, make a teabag for your bathtub. Soak in all that herbal goodness, and take all the plant bits with you with no risk of clogging your drains.) Love this vid!❤️❤️

If you keep adding water and blending you won’t have to strain it. I blend in a full 16.9 oz bottle of spring water and no straining needed.

Hello ALL..so I’m transitioning from from relaxed to natural. Most of the relaxed hair is gone. I got a Botox conditioning treatment last week. Can I still use this fenugreek mask on my hair without any issues? Please and thank you for any advice provided!!!

I make a hair oil and put fenugreek oil (I make that oil too) in it and I have been doing hot oil treatments/prepoos with that

I use the fenugreek organic powder from amazon. I mix it with other powders and my conditioner and then I apply it to my hair.

I make an oil, I let it sit in my frig in a container of water for one day then spray my hair before washing it, I make a homemade hair butter, I mix with avocado and one egg and make a hair mask before washing my hair and use the oil on my edges. Also I mix it with 12 natural herbs from an Indian store and mix it with avocado oil and aloe Vera.

lol i got these stuck in my hair the seeds omg i love fenugeeek tho

I put rosemary and honey 🍯 I leave it in for 5 hours

Do you wash the hair before the mask.

Can I apply this mask on dirty hair before my shower?

Wouldn't it be better to just get the powder form to avoid the wasted time in straining and never ending rinse out to get it out of your hair??

If you’lo soak it overnight you don’t need to drain it again n again on cheese Cloth. Nt a single particle lefts on hair if soaked overnight. It become damn creamy

Soak them before you blend

You kinda look like Brie in the bachelor “Matt” season.
