I learned so much about these seeds from Curly Proverbs. I use them in my oils and just started using the water last year. I soak them overnight them add hibiscus tea and aloe vera juice to a spray bottle. Sometimes I add essential oils. I use this over the course of 5days stored in the refrigerator. I love how it defines my curls and I can feel it strengthening my hair. If course I follow up with a leave in conditioner, oil and my shea butter to seal it all in. Love ur videos btw Queen 😘😘😘❣❣❣❣❣

In India, we sprout the soaked seeds, add to salads or cook into a potato dish

Ginger and clove is a great addition to add to the fenugreek....

I combine fenugreek water, aloe vera gel, sea moss gel with essential oils (peppermint, tea tree or rosemary) to mask the smell. I also add a little avocado, sweet almond or coconut oil. When I tell you my hair feels super moisturized, my curls are defined and my hair feel really healthy. I use it as an everyday or every other day spray.

You can add a pinch of food grade citric acid to it to help preserve it so it doesn't go rancid. It'll be good counter top for about 2 weeks and citric acid is also good for hair..so win, win

Luuuuuv fenugreek. You can actually take the leftover seeds and blend them, adding in some water or AVJ, and it becomes like a custard consistency.

Fenugreek spritz is my favorite in between washes.

I literally have this soaking on my counter; since Monday lol. I soak my seeds in aloe vera juice tho, not water. Once I strain it, I just put it in my spray bottles to use on my hair. I grind the soaked seeds up with more aloe vera juice and fresh aloe vera gel, Ayurvedic powders/herbs, oils and essential oils and make that into a paste to use and then freeze for prepoos and deep conditioning. I don’t follow no certain recipe since everything I combine, all have nutrients and properties that benefit my hair. I just pay close attention to what my hair needs and apply my treatments accordingly. My hair regimen consists of 90% my Ayurvedic diy’s with natural remedies and 10% store bought products that I mainly use for styling.

You would have to let it sit for at least two weeks to a month if you want the properties of the fenugreek to infuse into the oil....you could also heat it up in a saucepan with your oil of choice for about 15 mins this will help the seeds to infuse faster in the oil. After hearing it up allow it to cool and then pour the seeds with the oil into a glass jar and let it sit for 7 days. Hope this help.

Check out Sandra Burnett she has a ton of great ideas using fenugreek 👌

Fenugreek is AWESOME. The easiest incorporation for me is with my black rice water. I steep 2 tbs of both overnight in a cup of water and use the liquid in a spray bottle every day til it’s gone. Rinse repeat. Usually I’ll have a streak of 6-8 weeks, then I might forget or fall off for 1-2 weeks before resuming. I stopped using this spray for 3 months consistently while I was trying out straight and protective styles. Now that I’m back to a routine, got my fenugreek & black rice water spray! It is EXCELLENT as a refresher, prepoo, or light moisturizer for styling. Not to mention all the growth and manageability bonuses! Tangles where???😍

The scent is odd. Not everyone thinks it smells like maple syrup. It is earthy and has a better note to the flavor as well, and I think that is what some other people smell. It depends on your genetics. Some people don’t smell maple syrup, they smell something different altogether. Crazy.

True some ppl smell curry and others smell pancakes. I smell pancakes. I also wonder if it's the brand? Because everyone around me always gets the pancake/maple syrup scent and never the curry. So maybe some brands harvest it in a way that gives it a sweeter vs saltier smell. Almost like clear castor oil vs black castor oil. Or yellow vs ivory shea butter. I have no idea but it's very interesting.
