I actually did a trial : I would spray fenugreek water on my hair and massaged my scalp. I did this about 4 times a week. I saw growth that month , I beleive about 2 inches! I kid you not.
I was introduced to fenugreek 15 years ago after I gave birth to my daughter. My OBGYN had me take fenugreek pills to help produce more breast milk. I noticed while I was taking the pills my hair grew like crazy. I wasn’t a natural then but now that I am natural, I use fenugreek in everything. I absolutely love it.
Yes! So many people recommended it to me when breastfeeding. That’s all I have ever seen it used for but I will be giving it a try because I just shaved off all my hair and I miss it 😂
Don't throw away those seeds after you make the rinse. You can blend them with hot water and make a mask that way, as well. In addition, you can freeze the mask in a mason jar, for future use. I do it all the time.
I switched to fully ayurvedic in hair care back in March. Fenugreek is one of my fav seeds. I use fenugreek water as a refresher, the seeds as a hair mask, use the fenugreek water as the base for my diy shampoo, cream and or oil. I haven't thought about going back to using commercial hair products.
I can attest that fenugreek has been doing amazing as a hair strengthening and growth product for me. I make a mask out of it using aloe vera, ground fenugreek powder, and honey. I blend this and apply under a plastic cap that I tie down under a towel and leave on for 30 minutes to an hour. Then I rinse out and condition my hair. It stopped my hair breakage from the root, and softened my hair while elongating my curl pattern. My hair has been growing like crazy because it stopped all my breakage/shedding. Great video.
I absolutely LOVE fenugreek! It’s my favorite Ayurvedic herb! I make a hair spritz with the seeds, I make tea to drink and add ginger, I soak the seeds overnight and drink the fenugreek water, and I make fenugreek hair butter with Shea butter! Total game changer!!! My hair is growing like crazy and getting thicker! The texture of my hair has changed for the better!!!😊😊😊
I use fenugreek powder, moringa powder, aloe Vera pulp from the leaf, red onion ,ginger I use a capful of water blend it then use as a mask. I can definitely feel the difference to my scalp. I went from having good strong shoulder length hair to being diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia, my hair fell out in clumps, patches baldness . I cried. I then started using a combination of natural oils... washing my hair wth sulphate free products of a particular brand here in the UK. I came across your channel. absolutely brilliant. you have transformed the way I care for my hair I had a biopsy and I was told that there was no inflammation and that he could see 2 follicles growing rather than 1. My scalp is in good condition. I heard that the fenugreek and moringa were good for shreading although there is some it is nothing compared to what my hair was b4 I was praising God. keep them videos coming. I really believe my hair will come back stronger and better
@@qwaxerty I mix 1.5 Tsp of fenugreek powder , 1 leaf of aloe vera , 1 cup distilled water 4 Tsp of oil your choice , 4Tsp of vegetable glycerin, blend together, strain add essential oil of your choice. Separate 4 portions , save the other 3 porti8 in the freezer. (4 washes). Save time , Instead it doing it every week.
I started making and using fenugreek oil to treat a bald spot at the crown of my scalp a year ago. It completely reversed whatever was going on and my hair grew back in, no one can tell there was ever an issue. I still use fenugreek oil from time to time when my hair feels weak and seems like it needs a protein boost. Fenugreek is one of my, hands down, favorite hair care ingredients now.

She still grew, had minimal shedding, was barely dryed out, and was in fairly good shape after being in a wash n go turned twists for so long. I really attribute it to the Fenugreek prepoo. Things have settled down and I back to taking care of her and the results are still astounding.
If I had to choose one herb from Ayurveda system it would be Fenugreek. I wore my head wrapped for about 6 weeks, laying my edges and they packed up and left.😩 I used the Fenugreek diy spray & the oil , in no time my edges were back😊 It's definitely been a game changer in my hair regimen.. I tried it because of Curly Proverbs Channel!!!!
Drinking fenugreek water during my periods has helped me with period cramps. I ran to the water a week before my periods and I never get cramps. I have used fenugreek mask before and I loved it bt it was exhausting to wash out of my hair. I tried the powder I strain from my water on my face and it leaves my face feeling soft.
@@kenyayopp1653 i made some fenugreek tea and strained the seeds. can i blend those with water and make a mask, can i use the mask for my hair or face?
This is all that I do. I do not add to my hair directly. I just put the seeds to soak for 12 hours or more then drink the water. I allow the seeds to sprout and just add them raw to my food. I end up smelling like maple syrup but I love the smell so I don't mind at all.
I have been using fenugreek in my diy oils and hair creams for awhile now and I am noticing that my strands are a lot thicker and my hair has grown about 2 inches since I became serious about growing my hair
I love the fact that you're educating us prior to giving us the reason for using the product. My hair is thinning and falling out. My mom told me to use rosemary, olive oil, and black seed together but didn't give me the reason 😒. I thank you for your video.
I use it all the time. It has grown my daughters hair and my hair. I have to say I wasn’t a believer until I straighten my daughters hair. I love it. Fenugreek and moringa powder.
I've used it for 2 years. It helps with inflammation for sure. I had sepsis and I have severe anemia. No I can't take iron before anyone suggests it. This seed/herb has calmed my scalp, helped regrow and thicken my hair. It is in a concoction I make based on curly proverbs recipe.
Have Lupus so, I have always had problems with inflamation in body and scalp . My scalp was sore and itchy until I started using Fenugreek mixed with alma powder. After about a month or so, my scalp felt healthier and I saw more hair growth. I heated the Fenugreek seeds in olive oil and let sit for at least 24 hours before using.
I appreciate the knowledge God has opened your eyes to through studying. As we see your hair is flourishing. Your seeds of knowledge are taking root and growing. Pun intended 😃. By the way, your shirts are "Life" to me. If you don't mind, please share were you get them.
I just purchased a scalp/hair oil from the Ayurveda Experience. It contains fenugreek, hibiscus , brahmi, bitter cucumber and more. I just received it yesterday and haven’t tried it yet but now I’m really excited to see what it does for my hair
2/3 tablespoons in hot water, let steep overnight or even just an hour or two. Drink the resulting "tea" add some warm water if you don't like It cold. I have it daily. Grind the soaked seeds into your smoothie, don't throw them away, they have many health benefits, not just for hair. Instead of a rinse or in addition too that, mix the fenugreek water with aloe juice and use it as a moisturising spray.
I make a infused oil with fenugreek also a tea spritz for me and my daughter our hair loves it also use the liquid as it gets kind of a gel and use it as a detangler with honey and olive oil ❤❤❣❣❣
I use fenugreek to make my deep conditioner, I use peppermint essential oil to curb the maple syrup smell, I also use the liquid to spray on my hair when I moisturize a couple times a week. I love using it, I’ve noticed a difference in the shine & the length of my hair. I also make a butter with fenugreek for my scalp.
I used fenugreek while breast feeding, i drank like 4-5 cups a day because i was desperate and i noticed my hair was growing like crazy, milk supply didn't really increase though :(
I love Fenugreek. I infuse it in oil, use it as a mask and use it in food. I love how it makes my hair feel. I also used the mask as a styler last week🤣
Fenugreek has been my favorite herb for 2+ yrs now. I make an oil & a paste. I have also used it in my deep conditioners & masques. It has really helped my hair grow. So glad you have done a video on it.
I like using fenugreek in an oil. I’ve purchase oils from Soultanicals Bloom oil and Curly Proverbs elixir. I’ve put fenugreek seeds in castor oil and use it on my scalp. They all work for me. I will try the fenugreek tea rinse next. I love how strong it makes my hair feel, no breakage, though I’m not a fan of the smell.
I started incorporating Fenugreek into my routine. Love the smell. Starting to see hair growth. I use the Fenugreek water and fresh aloe vera as my prepoo. Then use the oil as a sealant. Love this stuff.
I will try this on my hair. Ive been talking Fenugreek supplements for months I was guided to them wasnt sure why. I will say ive noticed my breast are becoming firmer and round.
All my infused oils have fenugreek seeds and it has been very helpful coming back from pre menopausal shed and breakage. I put the powder in with several masks that I mix up and that is a great booster. I make sure to use other herbs that are great for moisture to keep a good balance. Fenugreek is a strengthener so you need to keep a balance as to not over do it.. I have manage to do that and it’s not fun LOL
I make and sell it as a mist form! It works and is safe for the face. Great for locs and I’ve even I noticed growth in my eyelashes! Thank you for the science!
I'm using fenugreek powder in my pre-poo. I've made oil with the seeds and just finished taking fenugreek pills. Game-changer for growth!Fun fact- the supplements make you smell like maple syrup.
What were your results with the pills? I brought some a few weeks ago and haven't taken them yet. There isn't alot of into regarding fenugreek pills for hair growth.
@@Kiki-AndBeyond They worked great. In had 3+ inches of growth in 4 months. I'm not taking them anymore, since they unfortunately caused weight gain for me. I was taking a 1400mg per day at the time. But they definitely helped.
I have very fine curly hair and started to get thinner after my thirties. (65 yrs old now) I made a fenugreek spray by just soaking them overnight and used it every morning. Soak 15 minutes. Rinse. In the first month I noticed my hair wasn't falling out like it was. In two months' time my hairdresser said she was speechless because she said it was thicker and she saw new hair growth. It hasn't been 3 months yet but I'm very excited with the results in this short period of time. I welcome any suggestions you may have. Loved all your chemistry info. By the way my background is Mexican and Caucasian if that helps with any suggestions. Thanks.
I got on the fenugreek bandwagon about 3 weeks ago after watching another video on UA-cam. I use the vitamins mainly for muscle soreness, mix the powder one with essential oils for oiling my scalp once a week, and the tea for digestion. My skin has cleared so well and my edges are growing in. I still have to wait on more results. I’ll keep yal posted!
I recently started using frenagreek by just letting it sit in some water for 8 hours or more and I love it! It has helped so much with getting my hair to grow back after having moisture overload & extreme product build up. I love the idea of making a mask out of just fenugreek seeds and water! Thank you!
I have used fenugreek as a tea and a mask. It was great as a tea. As a mask it was wonderful but after using it for straight 4 washes I noticed my hair had protein over load but I still love it.
I use fenugreek with Amla powder mixed with coconut oil as a pre-poo 2x a month. I just started since watching your videos on the importantance of a prepoo routine a month ago so I can't speak on the benefits yet.
Black cumin seeds are also great for hair growth! Fenugreek is amazing...I usually make it into a mask with coconut oil, aloe and add little conditioner.
Fenugreek is slept on. Great episode. It combats hair fall and it helps with hair growth. It makes a fantastic DIY deep conditioner mixed with other herbs. It is also economical and it works. Great idea re crock pot and making an oil. Thank you.
@@CurlyChemistry My pleasure. Love your channel. You are concise, personable and informative. Thank you. Would love your take on Bhringraj , Amla and Brahmi one day when time permits. Oh yes and hibiscus aka sorrel. Thank you for all you do. Your growth is deserved.
I have been using fenugreek and black sesame seeds that I have cold steeped in olive oil.. ( I put the seeds in oil for a few weeks in a dark space and then use it after it has sat...) Noticed a difference in shedding/ breakage so far.
I have wavy-to-curly mid-back length hair. I had a copper IUD a few years ago which wreaked havoc on my health and on my hair. I've been rehabilitating it with leave-in fenugreek water/gel, which I also DIY. I mix it with rosemary water and a splash of natural apple cider vinegar. It does not spoil if you use approx. 1 part ACV and 5 parts fenugreek water. I let the seeds soak for a few days (make sure there's some vinegar in the soak, so it doesn't sour) and once they're large and soft, I force the gel through a wire strainer and collect it to add to my infusion. I use (about one ounce poured onto my scalp, 2-3x per shower) it in place of shampoo and conditioner, and I also put it into a spray bottle and spray generously into my hair once damp, but still wet and clean. It's kind of labor intensive but my hair is so much nicer.
I purchased Curly Proverbz Fenugreek Elixir, only used it a week but my dandruff has subsided and my scalp hasn’t been as itchy, I also drink Fenugreek tea occasionally
I have been using aloe vera for like a yr and a half . I now started onion juice with rosemary and ginger with vitamin e oil and jojoba oil...and I put microbraids in a week ago and I'm already experiencing new growth
As always very informative. I love fenugreek. Been using for 2 years now in my diy ayurverdic blend hair oil ( Thanks to Curly Proverbz she'struly the OG in Ayurverdic hair care). As with all proteins, it makes me nervous because I'm Low porosity and have yet to try in a mask. I will say this i never strain my oil. I just wait till its all gone, then blend the left overs ( i mix with a cocktail of ayurverdic herbs like amla, brahmi, shikakai aloe powder and others plus all the essential oils that we all use peppermint, rosemary, ginger, eculpytus). Thank you for the chemist break down on why fenugreek is OG in ayurverdic herbs for hair growth. I hear drinking the tea also has major effects on the hair and skin.
I’ve never used Fenugreek before, but I’m definitely going to now. The herb that I’ve always wondered about and it’s effectiveness in hair growth and how to use it is Hibiscus. So glad you’re doing these videos on hair growth.
I love using hibiscus powder in my deep conditioning masques or henna mixes, it softens and strengthens my hair and gives a beautiful shine. I haven't noticed any increased growth(Been using for around 6 months). But it's been a game changer for my hair regimen.
I use them together to make a prepoo treatment as well as a whipped butter. I take both and infuse them into hot water, and add whatever other ingredients you want and I leave it overnight. It really has amazing slip and it strengthens and moisturizes it and preps it for wash day.
I love this series! So much helpful new info. I've used fenugreek for a few years, in different ways. I love it even more now 🙂. I would love to hear you perspective on Amla, Brahmi, bhringraj. Thanks so much for great content ☺️
YOUR THOUGHTS ON DRINKING FENUGREEK TEA AND FENUGREEK WATER PLEASE! Hi, first of all, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I love watching your videos because you share the science of hair growth with us. So I have been using fenugreek for just over a month. I can not say that I have seen any difference in my hair but I believe that soon I will. I was surprised that you did not say anything about drinking fenugreek water. I actually drink fenugreek tea in the morning. Then I drink fenugreek water that I infuse from the seeds in the early evening and finally, I message my scalp with fenugreek oil three days a week. Wait back up, I said I have seen no change. That is not true. I have not seen any drastic hair growth but my hair is not as dry. It stays pretty moist until wash day. I comb out every night. Since starting the fenugreek oil, my hair is shiny everyday and very easy to comb out at night with a very minimum amount of shedding. I would love to hear your thoughts about consuming fenugreek orally.
I’m using fenugreek, clove and dry rosemary water for my hair for almost 4 month and my hair really love them🎉 my hair going healthy and long🥹😭💖 I also used oliv oil and flaxseed gel😍🫶🏼
I use fenugreek after soaking the seeds overnight then add to a spray bottle with aloe Vera juice and use it throughout my wash day routine, as a leave-in, and as a moisturizer throughout the week. Not sure if it is overload or not, am nursing an crown thinning which I know is partly heredity and damage from the relaxers even some 4+ years later. The hair is coming back slowly however am more vigilant using it in the summer than any other time of the year. The new growth hair is a whole other texture and very different, sort of the same texture my dad had, quite weird, anyways I will be making me some oil and use it a little less as to not block the follicles and see what happens. Thank you for sharing on this herb, was going to ask you to give your thoughts about it, so appreciate it much!
I use the seeds in my water spray bottle, and in my oil blend I put some seeds in the blend, I use the powder in my clay masks, in my Cheba hair masks; and I mix it in my sealing butters.
Amazing! All Ayurveda is trending especially henna, Alma, and hibiscus. I’d love to hear your take on these. Also, for those of us who like DIY, how many herbs should we be blending? I see so many DIY videos where they’re blending 5-6 Ayurvedic herbs and essential oils. Can too many cause them to counteract each other? Which ones blend together the best from a chemist’s POV? Do DIY masks, oils, etc need to be ph balanced? If so, why?
I wonder the same question about mixing the ayurverdic herbs, yet I still mix them in my diy hair oil blend. Probably not the best approach to just be mixing things since I have only recently ( 2 years) been introduced to ayurverdic herbs
@@ladib7813 yes Amal can make your hair feel really dry, as do a lot of Ayurvedic herb. I choose to infuse them all in my diy hair oils and butters. I’m low porosity and my hair is definitely protein and strength sensitive. I use protein every 5-6 weeks.
There are so many things that we are bombarded by to grow hair. Please make some suggestions for daily routines and/or weekly routine how we can infuse the best of what there is for us to grow our hair.
My mom actually take fenugreek powder every day morning. In a few months her hairfall has just stopped. Past years she lost bunch of hair every day . Now she lost 3 to 4 hair strands only after hair wash... (She has curly hair)
Can an African-American woman use fenugreek oil on her relaxed/chemically treated hair? If yes, can it be used throughout the week, or should it be used only on wash day?
I really want to make a simple diy fenugreek oil. No extra ingredients, perhaps just one for fragrance, but I really want to monitor the results with just fenugreek. Thank you for the information! Love this channel!
That's a great idea! I recommend that often in my consultations, the best way to truly know if something works is by isolating it and testing it out for at least 4-6 weeks to observe any significant changes. :-)
I love your videos. I use ashwagandha powder in my conditioner one a week. It feels so good on my scalp. Would love to see a video on this product in natural hair care.
I use fenugreek to make my curry. I don’t recall if I’ve ever used it in my hair. This is interesting and I’ll definitely try it, especially since it’s already in my kitchen.
It's my go too my hair definitely loves it ,it got kind of a maple syrupy smell but theres nothing a few drops of essential oils cant fix with added benefits,I do a plain one methi/olive Then my Ayurvedic one avo oil,bhrami,amla,ashwagandha, Bhringraj,neem,moringa,its my hot oil treatment and pre-poo I've tried one herb at the time before to see what reaction my hair did and it went well I love my herbs ❤
I have done a hair mask with fenugreek and flaxseed. I socked it over night and in the morning just put in the blender. I added one table spoon of my hat mask. It’s absolutely amazing
I've been using fenugreek for a little more than 2 years. I take about 1/4 cup of Methi seeds, a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, olive oil and avocado oil and let them sit overnight in my slow cooker on warm. I strain the infused oil and use it as my leave-in oil. Works great. Thanks for another great vid. I look forward to them every Friday.
@@pfisher8728 I usually make up about a quart. I pour some in a small nozzle tip bottle and store the rest in a dark colored glass jar with lid, in the fridge. It has lasted me about 6 to 8 months. Hope this helps.
I use nature's little secret fenugreek prepoo detangler on top of coconut oil. It's amazing at detangling, and adding moisture to the hair before washing. I've seen thickness in my hair and edges are growing back 👏👏
Luv, luv Fenugreek. I have used it in all the methods described. You have inspired me to make a Fenugreek and hibiscus tea rinse on my next wash day, tomorrow 😊

@@minjichoi3799 I can’t really say when I noticed it. But my family and friends said my hair grew alot.
I've used it for 2 years. It helps with inflammation for sure. I had sepsis and I have severe anemia. No I can't take iron before anyone suggests it. This seed/herb has calmed my scalp, helped regrow and thicken my hair. It is in a concoction I make based on curly proverbs recipe.
@TheBklynite Lol at the "before anyone suggests it
@@olabisiariyo8015 😂😂😂😂😂
Have Lupus so, I have always had problems with inflamation in body and scalp . My scalp was sore and itchy until I started using Fenugreek mixed with alma powder. After about a month or so, my scalp felt healthier and I saw more hair growth. I heated the Fenugreek seeds in olive oil and let sit for at least 24 hours before using.
I appreciate the knowledge God has opened your eyes to through studying. As we see your hair is flourishing. Your seeds of knowledge are taking root and growing. Pun intended 😃. By the way, your shirts are "Life" to me. If you don't mind, please share were you get them.
Ayurveda + Science = Very happy natural black girl :)
I love your hair the picture very nice
Please share some tips with us 😊🙌🏽
I have been drinking fenugreek water!
It’s also good to lower your sugar levels.
I make a spritz for my locs - fenugreek, msm, rose water, glycerin and peppermint oil
I just purchased a scalp/hair oil from the Ayurveda Experience. It contains fenugreek, hibiscus , brahmi, bitter cucumber and more. I just received it yesterday and haven’t tried it yet but now I’m really excited to see what it does for my hair
Keep us posted! :-)
2/3 tablespoons in hot water, let steep overnight or even just an hour or two. Drink the resulting "tea" add some warm water if you don't like It cold. I have it daily. Grind the soaked seeds into your smoothie, don't throw them away, they have many health benefits, not just for hair. Instead of a rinse or in addition too that, mix the fenugreek water with aloe juice and use it as a moisturising spray.
I make a infused oil with fenugreek also a tea spritz for me and my daughter our hair loves it also use the liquid as it gets kind of a gel and use it as a detangler with honey and olive oil ❤❤❣❣❣
Oooo nice! I'm loving that you're using it as a detangler. :-)
I use fenugreek to make my deep conditioner, I use peppermint essential oil to curb the maple syrup smell, I also use the liquid to spray on my hair when I moisturize a couple times a week. I love using it, I’ve noticed a difference in the shine & the length of my hair. I also make a butter with fenugreek for my scalp.
I used fenugreek while breast feeding, i drank like 4-5 cups a day because i was desperate and i noticed my hair was growing like crazy, milk supply didn't really increase though :(
I use fenugreek infused water, but I also love rosemary water!! It’s amazing for hair growth and is proven to be as good as medicated minoxidil.
I love Fenugreek. I infuse it in oil, use it as a mask and use it in food. I love how it makes my hair feel. I also used the mask as a styler last week🤣
Fenugreek has been my favorite herb for 2+ yrs now. I make an oil & a paste. I have also used it in my deep conditioners & masques. It has really helped my hair grow. So glad you have done a video on it.
I like using fenugreek in an oil. I’ve purchase oils from Soultanicals Bloom oil and Curly Proverbs elixir. I’ve put fenugreek seeds in castor oil and use it on my scalp. They all work for me. I will try the fenugreek tea rinse next. I love how strong it makes my hair feel, no breakage, though I’m not a fan of the smell.
I started incorporating Fenugreek into my routine. Love the smell. Starting to see hair growth. I use the Fenugreek water and fresh aloe vera as my prepoo. Then use the oil as a sealant. Love this stuff.
I absolutely love fenugreek, I do a fenugreek/AloeVera pre-poo, I use it in my mask, I also make a fenugreek/AloeVera tea. Absolutely love it.
Please make a video on hard water and the kind of products to use!
I will try this on my hair. Ive been talking Fenugreek supplements for months I was guided to them wasnt sure why. I will say ive noticed my breast are becoming firmer and round.
All my infused oils have fenugreek seeds and it has been very helpful coming back from pre menopausal shed and breakage. I put the powder in with several masks that I mix up and that is a great booster. I make sure to use other herbs that are great for moisture to keep a good balance. Fenugreek is a strengthener so you need to keep a balance as to not over do it.. I have manage to do that and it’s not fun LOL
it works i use it with gapeseed oil
I make and sell it as a mist form! It works and is safe for the face. Great for locs and I’ve even I noticed growth in my eyelashes! Thank you for the science!
Ooooh
I'm using fenugreek powder in my pre-poo. I've made oil with the seeds and just finished taking fenugreek pills. Game-changer for growth!Fun fact- the supplements make you smell like maple syrup.
What were your results with the pills? I brought some a few weeks ago and haven't taken them yet. There isn't alot of into regarding fenugreek pills for hair growth.
@@Kiki-AndBeyond
They worked great. In had 3+ inches of growth in 4 months. I'm not taking them anymore, since they unfortunately caused weight gain for me. I was taking a 1400mg per day at the time. But they definitely helped.
Yesss the syrup smell omg!! 😂
I was always so confused on how to really take care of my hair until I met you!!..so thank you oh so very much🤝🤝🤝🤝😘
I just ordered a bunch of capsules for boob growth...I read if you sprout the seeds n eat the sprouts u get more out of em 🌱
I have very fine curly hair and started to get thinner after my thirties. (65 yrs old now) I made a fenugreek spray by just soaking them overnight and used it every morning. Soak 15 minutes. Rinse. In the first month I noticed my hair wasn't falling out like it was. In two months' time my hairdresser said she was speechless because she said it was thicker and she saw new hair growth. It hasn't been 3 months yet but I'm very excited with the results in this short period of time. I welcome any suggestions you may have. Loved all your chemistry info. By the way my background is Mexican and Caucasian if that helps with any suggestions. Thanks.
I got on the fenugreek bandwagon about 3 weeks ago after watching another video on UA-cam. I use the vitamins mainly for muscle soreness, mix the powder one with essential oils for oiling my scalp once a week, and the tea for digestion. My skin has cleared so well and my edges are growing in. I still have to wait on more results. I’ll keep yal posted!
any update?
Update ?
I recently started using frenagreek by just letting it sit in some water for 8 hours or more and I love it! It has helped so much with getting my hair to grow back after having moisture overload & extreme product build up. I love the idea of making a mask out of just fenugreek seeds and water! Thank you!
I have used fenugreek as a tea and a mask.
It was great as a tea.
As a mask it was wonderful but after using it for straight 4 washes I noticed my hair had protein over load but I still love it.
I use fenugreek with Amla powder mixed with coconut oil as a pre-poo 2x a month. I just started since watching your videos on the importantance of a prepoo routine a month ago so I can't speak on the benefits yet.
Black cumin seeds are also great for hair growth! Fenugreek is amazing...I usually make it into a mask with coconut oil, aloe and add little conditioner.
Fenugreek, aloe, rosemary & lavender I have found that my hair lover. Fine 4b hair--very coily
I've used fenugreek in a diy oil for about 3 months consistently and it DID work. So it is something I am going to revisit. 😉
Drinking fenugreek water is even better ! A lot of naturals have grown their hair long in a small time frame drinking the water.
Fenugreek is slept on. Great episode. It combats hair fall and it helps with hair growth. It makes a fantastic DIY deep conditioner mixed with other herbs. It is also economical and it works. Great idea re crock pot and making an oil. Thank you.
Agreed Stacey! Thank you for sharing!
@@CurlyChemistry My pleasure. Love your channel. You are concise, personable and informative. Thank you. Would love your take on Bhringraj , Amla and Brahmi one day when time permits. Oh yes and hibiscus aka sorrel. Thank you for all you do. Your growth is deserved.
I just recently made the oil in a mason jar, infusing the seed in olive oil using my candle warmer. Worked great
I used my first diy fenugreek and aloe vera juice mask last weekend and my hair had never been so defined!!!! It was a gorgeous hair week!!!
Did you use the aloe plant or the aloe juice in bottle please?
@@mslilmama40 I used aloe juice
@@ambrosiacupp579 okay thank you so much!! 😊❤👍 gonna give it a try
I use fenugreek and hibiscus as a hair rinse monthly. Will definitely be making the oil soon
I have been using fenugreek and black sesame seeds that I have cold steeped in olive oil.. ( I put the seeds in oil for a few weeks in a dark space and then use it after it has sat...) Noticed a difference in shedding/ breakage so far.
I'm very late to the game, but I bought a LARGE container of fenugreek and it's definitely on! I'm extremely excited to try this.
I have wavy-to-curly mid-back length hair. I had a copper IUD a few years ago which wreaked havoc on my health and on my hair. I've been rehabilitating it with leave-in fenugreek water/gel, which I also DIY. I mix it with rosemary water and a splash of natural apple cider vinegar. It does not spoil if you use approx. 1 part ACV and 5 parts fenugreek water. I let the seeds soak for a few days (make sure there's some vinegar in the soak, so it doesn't sour) and once they're large and soft, I force the gel through a wire strainer and collect it to add to my infusion. I use (about one ounce poured onto my scalp, 2-3x per shower) it in place of shampoo and conditioner, and I also put it into a spray bottle and spray generously into my hair once damp, but still wet and clean. It's kind of labor intensive but my hair is so much nicer.
I purchased Curly Proverbz Fenugreek Elixir, only used it a week but my dandruff has subsided and my scalp hasn’t been as itchy, I also drink Fenugreek tea occasionally
I have been using aloe vera for like a yr and a half . I now started onion juice with rosemary and ginger with vitamin e oil and jojoba oil...and I put microbraids in a week ago and I'm already experiencing new growth
As always very informative. I love fenugreek. Been using for 2 years now in my diy ayurverdic blend hair oil ( Thanks to Curly Proverbz she'struly the OG in Ayurverdic hair care). As with all proteins, it makes me nervous because I'm Low porosity and have yet to try in a mask. I will say this i never strain my oil. I just wait till its all gone, then blend the left overs ( i mix with a cocktail of ayurverdic herbs like amla, brahmi, shikakai aloe powder and others plus all the essential oils that we all use peppermint, rosemary, ginger, eculpytus).
Thank you for the chemist break down on why fenugreek is OG in ayurverdic herbs for hair growth. I hear drinking the tea also has major effects on the hair and skin.
The mane attraction is a hair growth oil that uses that as well as rosemary
I’ve never used Fenugreek before, but I’m definitely going to now. The herb that I’ve always wondered about and it’s effectiveness in hair growth and how to use it is Hibiscus. So glad you’re doing these videos on hair growth.
Oooo hibiscus! Great suggestion. :-)
I love using hibiscus powder in my deep conditioning masques or henna mixes, it softens and strengthens my hair and gives a beautiful shine. I haven't noticed any increased growth(Been using for around 6 months). But it's been a game changer for my hair regimen.
I use them together to make a prepoo treatment as well as a whipped butter. I take both and infuse them into hot water, and add whatever other ingredients you want and I leave it overnight. It really has amazing slip and it strengthens and moisturizes it and preps it for wash day.
I have used fenugreek before as an infused oil, I have locs and the odor waz very strong. I infuse oils with wonderful herbs all the time for years.
I love this series! So much helpful new info. I've used fenugreek for a few years, in different ways. I love it even more now 🙂. I would love to hear you perspective on Amla, Brahmi, bhringraj. Thanks so much for great content ☺️
YOUR THOUGHTS ON DRINKING FENUGREEK TEA AND FENUGREEK WATER PLEASE!
Hi, first of all, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I love watching your videos because you share the science of hair growth with us. So I have been using fenugreek for just over a month. I can not say that I have seen any difference in my hair but I believe that soon I will. I was surprised that you did not say anything about drinking fenugreek water. I actually drink fenugreek tea in the morning. Then I drink fenugreek water that I infuse from the seeds in the early evening and finally, I message my scalp with fenugreek oil three days a week. Wait back up, I said I have seen no change. That is not true. I have not seen any drastic hair growth but my hair is not as dry. It stays pretty moist until wash day. I comb out every night. Since starting the fenugreek oil, my hair is shiny everyday and very easy to comb out at night with a very minimum amount of shedding. I would love to hear your thoughts about consuming fenugreek orally.
I’m using fenugreek, clove and dry rosemary water for my hair for almost 4 month and my hair really love them🎉 my hair going healthy and long🥹😭💖 I also used oliv oil and flaxseed gel😍🫶🏼
I really loved how my hair reacted to fenugreek and amla masks. I made my masks in bulk, then freeze into cubes. It worked perfectly that way.
Great idea- thank you!
Fenugreek is one of my favorites ❤ I make a paste and freeze into cubes. Pop one out, thaw, and add to my diy deep conditioner
I have recently started using it as an oil and it's amazing
So glad it's working for you Jessy! :-)
I use fenugreek after soaking the seeds overnight then add to a spray bottle with aloe Vera juice and use it throughout my wash day routine, as a leave-in, and as a moisturizer throughout the week. Not sure if it is overload or not, am nursing an crown thinning which I know is partly heredity and damage from the relaxers even some 4+ years later. The hair is coming back slowly however am more vigilant using it in the summer than any other time of the year. The new growth hair is a whole other texture and very different, sort of the same texture my dad had, quite weird, anyways I will be making me some oil and use it a little less as to not block the follicles and see what happens. Thank you for sharing on this herb, was going to ask you to give your thoughts about it, so appreciate it much!
I use the seeds in my water spray bottle, and in my oil blend I put some seeds in the blend, I use the powder in my clay masks, in my Cheba hair masks; and I mix it in my sealing butters.
Amazing! All Ayurveda is trending especially henna, Alma, and hibiscus. I’d love to hear your take on these. Also, for those of us who like DIY, how many herbs should we be blending? I see so many DIY videos where they’re blending 5-6 Ayurvedic herbs and essential oils. Can too many cause them to counteract each other? Which ones blend together the best from a chemist’s POV? Do DIY masks, oils, etc need to be ph balanced? If so, why?
Great questions!
I always wonder if certain things, even if they're good, can counteract each other as well.
I wonder the same question about mixing the ayurverdic herbs, yet I still mix them in my diy hair oil blend. Probably not the best approach to just be mixing things since I have only recently ( 2 years) been introduced to ayurverdic herbs
I like aswagandha powder. I tried Alma powder and my hair didn't like it. I think it may have been the protein content.
@@ladib7813 yes Amal can make your hair feel really dry, as do a lot of Ayurvedic herb. I choose to infuse them all in my diy hair oils and butters. I’m low porosity and my hair is definitely protein and strength sensitive. I use protein every 5-6 weeks.
Girl I just ordered some fenugreek yesterday to make my herbal oil
... this was right on time
Woo woo! :-)
There are so many things that we are bombarded by to grow hair. Please make some suggestions for daily routines and/or weekly routine how we can infuse the best of what there is for us to grow our hair.
My mom actually take fenugreek powder every day morning. In a few months her hairfall has just stopped. Past years she lost bunch of hair every day . Now she lost 3 to 4 hair strands only after hair wash... (She has curly hair)
Thank you. Can you infuse fenugreek with rosemary leaved and clove to make a tea rinse. Thx
Can an African-American woman use fenugreek oil on her relaxed/chemically treated hair? If yes, can it be used throughout the week, or should it be used only on wash day?
I use fenugreek amla powder mask and I love it
Love fenugreek … next washday I’m going to do a DIY shampoo using fenugreek paste + aloe vera gel + Castile soap
Nice, keep us posted! :-)
I really want to make a simple diy fenugreek oil. No extra ingredients, perhaps just one for fragrance, but I really want to monitor the results with just fenugreek. Thank you for the information! Love this channel!
That's a great idea! I recommend that often in my consultations, the best way to truly know if something works is by isolating it and testing it out for at least 4-6 weeks to observe any significant changes. :-)
@@CurlyChemistry Do I first blend the seeds ?
I struggle with my liver........might this be the reason why my hair isn't growing?
I love your videos. I use ashwagandha powder in my conditioner one a week. It feels so good on my scalp. Would love to see a video on this product in natural hair care.
I love fenugreek but I don't like smelling like maple syrup. I usually prepoo with a fenugreek infused oil.
I use fenugreek infused oil and masks and I love it ❤
Hi! How do you make it?
I use fenugreek to make my curry. I don’t recall if I’ve ever used it in my hair. This is interesting and I’ll definitely try it, especially since it’s already in my kitchen.
Have never used fenugreek before but will try..... Love that your are going to do a series on hair growth can't wait. Super excited
Thanks Leah! :-)
currently use fenugreek powder in my diy pre-poo and the seeds in a diy hair tea!
really loving it so far
That's awesome! :-)
It's my go too my hair definitely loves it ,it got kind of a maple syrupy smell but theres nothing a few drops of essential oils cant fix with added benefits,I do a plain one methi/olive
Then my Ayurvedic one avo oil,bhrami,amla,ashwagandha,
Bhringraj,neem,moringa,its my hot oil treatment and pre-poo I've tried one herb at the time before to see what reaction my hair did and it went well I love my herbs ❤
Awesome, thank you for sharing Simonie!
Divine!!! Love it. I just put the seeds in an oil mixture I purchased and kept them in there until the oil was done
Seeds and powder is in everything: oil , shampoo, conditioner. I love making diy for the hair.
I have done a hair mask with fenugreek and flaxseed. I socked it over night and in the morning just put in the blender. I added one table spoon of my hat mask. It’s absolutely amazing
I've been using fenugreek for a little more than 2 years. I take about 1/4 cup of Methi seeds, a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, olive oil and avocado oil and let them sit overnight in my slow cooker on warm. I strain the infused oil and use it as my leave-in oil. Works great. Thanks for another great vid. I look forward to them every Friday.
Thanks for sharing!! And thank you so much for watching! :-)
How long can this be stored?
@@pfisher8728 I usually make up about a quart. I pour some in a small nozzle tip bottle and store the rest in a dark colored glass jar with lid, in the fridge. It has lasted me about 6 to 8 months. Hope this helps.
@@gloriaa.4858 thank you very much, it helped alot!
@Gloria A, have you noticed a significant amount of hair growth?
Yes, I use fenugreek, I never knew what to look for as a result except hair growth but not how or why. Thanks for that info.
I use nature's little secret fenugreek prepoo detangler on top of coconut oil.
It's amazing at detangling, and adding moisture to the hair before washing. I've seen thickness in my hair and edges are growing back 👏👏
Fenugreek tea and aloe vera juice as a final rinse, for growth and strength 💕
I purchased a fenugreek oil that shipped. I'm so excited to use it!!
Luv, luv Fenugreek. I have used it in all the methods described. You have inspired me to make a Fenugreek and hibiscus tea rinse on my next wash day, tomorrow 😊
