STOP Using Fenugreek Paste as a Hair Mask

[@khadijainnit7137]

Fenugreek is my favourite! My hair is tailbone length because of it. I soak the seeds in water with cloves and rosemary for a week at the least (until the water gets thick, almost like aloe gel). I use this water to moisturise my hair once a week between washes. Try it!

[@VyalaBloom]

That’s very cool! I will have to try it!

[@CG-ec7tp]

Do you, while soaking leave it in the fridge?

[@lbu9542]

Brilliant, thank you!

[@Sophisticated8]

Can fenugreek be used as a oil because I used Amla in my shampoo just experimenting and I had to big chop I had some aloe powder and Amla powder and I didn’t like it I gave all of it away I had big bags 😮

How long does it keep? Do you put it in the refrigerator?

[@wsasi07]

I use it as a leave in and my hair loves it! My hair has gotten thicker and longer since using it as a leave in.

[@Violethaze28]

Add curd to the paste (before straining), use less fenugreek (same as you recommended). Also it’s a usual practice in my country to add twice the amount of Pre-soaked mung bean to the mix before grinding. Basically less fenugreek, more curd/mung bean seeds.

[@sihamal8061]

What people don’t know is that fenugreek is exactly the same as a protein treatment which is not all hair (protein sensitive) can tolerate which in return can make the hair stiff and hard even cause hair damage, it’s great for hair, but high in protein content. Low porosity hair doesn’t need protein much as once a month is more than enough.. It’s no different from it and rice water, hibiscus, cloves, eggs, mayonnaise etc.. We should use them with cautious specially for low porosity, I did big chop twice because of protein overload it was so severe which I didn’t know much about low porosity hair and I continued using rice water and other protein sources without knowing it was the same thing breaking my hair and making it stiff, dry etc… I know better now

[@FalonElise]

Same! I RUINED my hair with rice water. I didn't know what low porosity hair even was and I'd never even heard of protein overload! Crazy that more people don't talk about this stuff! I ruined my hair all the way to the root after working hard to grow it out. Two years down the drain but at least I learned a valuable lesson. I don't touch protein now. I was gonna try fenugreek but honestly my hair is fine right now, maybe i should leave well enough alone

[@garagedancer122]

Fenugreek paste penetrates and smooths my low porosity, 3B hair. The first time I tried it the wash out was difficult because it's grainy and tends to bind, so I moved to grinding 2 tablespoons of seeds ( you don't need much because it expands), adding warm water gradually as it expands, and then I blending the mixture on high to get it as smooth as possible; then I apply to detangled sectioned hair, braid or twist those sections during the application (overnight), and then rinsing those individual sections to avoid a tangled mess for next level results.

[@freda4882]

I love fenugreek, I make a tea. I just love teas, they're easy!!! Then no need to worry about trying to get it out of my curls. I honestly can't remember the last time a made a fenugreek mask. I also use it in my diy hair oil, that I use every other day.

The best thing I have learned so far about using fenugreek is to use a cheesecloth. Once you use a cheesecloth it has the consistency of conditioner.

[@TracyD2]

So many herbs we use could make hair stiff and dry. We should just listen to our hair at the moment and do what it takes to keep the balance. I know this but again went a little over board with herbs without balancing moisture and elasticity. These ingredients are wonderful to have in our arsenal

[@VyalaBloom]

I completely agree!

[@ajeasmon0715]

So true. We all get excited over growth but don't really balance or slow down the process. I used hibiscus powder with my conditioner and oil and I think I added too much and it turned out a bit clumpy, similar to the picture. Mixed and smoothed as much as I could but Washing was a bit of a hassle lol. I added aloe vera gel next time dunno if I can be consistent with all these herbs so I just drink them as teas for now lol

[@TriggaTreDay]

Never thought to use it in paste form. I always make a Aloe Vera juice and fenugreek seed gel, by letting the seeds soak in the aloe juice for at least 2-3weeks at room temperature. It’s amazing. I even combined that mixture with okra gel that I freshly make. It has tons of slip and does amazing with detangling my type 4 hair. The fenugreek and aloe gel can last a long time outside of the refrigerator. I have been using this stuff for the past 2.5 years. This year I will start adding the fenugreek to my smoothies.

[@carrie5599]

Instead of using the seeds , I prefer to use the capsules. That way, I can open it and use the powder. Every now and then, I like to dye my hair tips blue. Fenugreek helps me to remove the color faster than just multiple washes alone with quicker results.

Which one is better, fenugreek seeds or the powder?

[@VyalaBloom]

Both are great! It’s a matter of personal preference really. I prefer whole seeds as I feel like they last longer in storage, they’re versatile, and honestly they’re just more fun to use. My biggest issue with powder is that it’s rarely fine enough to be able to just add some water and have a smooth paste immediately. And so you still need to go through a similar process making fenugreek paste as you would with whole seeds (recipe for this is in the description box). You may get a more potent fenugreek tea using the powder (though I have not tried this).
