You can find fenugreek seeds at many grocery stores, but if your local store doesn’t carry them, visit an Indian grocery, organic grocery store, or a health food store. You can also order the seeds from online spice retailers. If you don’t have a spice, nut, or coffee grinder, you can use a blender or food processor to grind the seeds. You can also find fenugreek seed powder at the grocery store. However, you’ll get better results if you grind the seeds fresh for your mask.

You can substitute olive or argan oil for the coconut if you prefer.

You can warm the mask before applying it to help it penetrate your hair more easily. Mix the ingredients in a glass bowl, measuring cup, or jar, and place the container in a pot of warm or hot water for several minutes to heat it gently. You can also place a shower cap or plastic wrap over your head with the mask on to generate some heat.

You can grind your own fenugreek seeds, but store-bought powder works just as well. For the mask, full fat yogurt usually works best. It delivers protein to the hair to help strengthen it and heal damage. Add more of the yogurt and oil if you have long and/or thick hair.

If the mask is too thick after it’s sat, you can add up to ¼ cup (59 ml) of distilled water to thin the mixture.

It’s not necessary to cover your head because the mask won’t drip. However, placing a shower cap or plastic wrap over it can help warm the mask so your hair absorbs it more easily.

You can use the mask once a week for soft, shiny hair.

For the best results, use distilled or filtered water.

If you don’t have a seed or coffee grinder, you can create the paste in a blender.

For best results, use fresh lemon juice. However, you can use a bottled version as long as it’s pure juice.

Lemon juice can be very drying on your hair. If your hair is extremely dry or damaged, only leave the mask on 10 minutes.

Use the mask once a week to help control dandruff. The other natural products that work well in a hair mask are eggs and shea butter. They help with many aspects of your hair.
