We naturally lose about 50–100 strands of hair every single day. But if you’re noticing significantly more shedding than usual, the cause may be stress, genetics, hormonal imbalance, or even nutrient deficiencies. The good news? You’re in the right place.

DIY hair masks are one of the safest, most affordable ways to address hair fall, dryness, breakage, dandruff, and lack of shine—right from your kitchen. And among all ingredients, fenugreek (methi) is a true hero. Rich in protein, iron, nicotinic acid, and mucilage, it strengthens strands, promotes growth, and soothes the scalp.

Below are powerful, easy, and beginner-friendly fenugreek hair masks you can start using today to visibly reduce hair fall and revive hair health.

1. DIY Fenugreek + Curry Leaves Hair Mask for Fast Hair Growth

You will need:

• 1 teaspoon fenugreek powder

• A handful of fresh curry leaves

• 2 tablespoons yogurt

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

How to make:

1. Grind the curry leaves into a smooth, green paste.

2. Mix the paste with yogurt, fenugreek powder, and coconut oil until creamy.

3. Apply generously to the scalp and hair roots.

4. Leave on for 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

5. Use this mask twice a week for best results.

Why it works:

This mask deeply nourishes thinning hair, reduces hair fall, strengthens roots, and boosts natural shine. Curry leaves contain antioxidants and amino acids that stimulate follicles, while yogurt adds moisture and balance.

2. Fenugreek + Chickpea Flour Mask for Oily Scalp & Clogged Pores

You will need:

• 2 tablespoons chickpea flour

• 1 teaspoon fenugreek powder

• A few drops of lemon juice

• Water (as needed)

How to make:

1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.

2. Add enough water to create a smooth paste.

3. Apply to your scalp and leave it on for 10 minutes.

4. Rinse off with cool water.

Why it works:

This mask gently absorbs excess oil, unclogs pores, controls scalp sweat, and reduces greasiness. Chickpea flour exfoliates naturally while lemon juice cleanses and balances scalp pH.

3. Banana + Fenugreek Mask for Dry, Frizzy & Damaged Hair

You will need:

• 1 ripe banana

• 1 teaspoon fenugreek powder

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

How to make:

1. Blend the banana and fenugreek powder into a lump-free paste.

2. Mix in the coconut oil.

3. Apply the mask from roots to ends.

4. Leave on for 20 minutes, then wash off with a mild shampoo.

Why it works:

The banana restores moisture and softness, fenugreek strengthens weakened strands, and coconut oil seals hydration—making this perfect for frizzy, dull, or heat-damaged hair.

4. Aloe Vera + Vitamin E + Fenugreek Seeds Mask for Hair Thinning

You will need:

• 1 cup fenugreek seeds

• 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil

• 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel

How to make:

1. Soak fenugreek seeds overnight.

2. Grind them with a little water the next morning into a smooth, creamy paste.

3. Mix in aloe vera gel and vitamin E oil.

4. Apply to your scalp and leave for 10–20 minutes.

5. Rinse with cool water before shampooing.

Why it works:

This protein-rich mask combats hair thinning, reduces breakage, and strengthens roots. Fenugreek seeds provide deep nourishment, while aloe vera soothes irritation and vitamin E repairs oxidative damage. Its antimicrobial properties help keep the scalp healthy and balanced.

5. Rice + Fenugreek Mask for Thicker, Voluminous Hair

You will need:

• 1 cup cooked rice

• 1 teaspoon fenugreek powder

• A drizzle of olive oil

• Water (as needed)

How to make:

1. Mix all ingredients and blend until smooth.

2. Apply the mixture evenly using an applicator brush.

3. Let it sit for 15–20 minutes.

4. Shampoo as usual.

Why it works:

Rice helps strengthen the hair shaft, improves circulation, and removes buildup caused by products and pollution. Combined with fenugreek, this mask adds volume, revives limp hair, and enhances overall texture.
