Thanks Sonal for the wonderful tip 🙂
“The curd- methi powder mask works wonders for hair! Take 2 tsp of methi powder in a bowl of curd. Apply it on hair, wear a shower cap and wait for 45 mins. Wash it properly with ample water, a little messy & sticky but good for hair. Instead of shampooing right after, apply oil and wash it off the next morning :)”

hi mam , myself sanati . m facing a problem with splits mam twise or thrise in a month m cutting my hairs due to splits in my hairs mam and now a days m facing lots of hair fall mam . please can you give a good suggection for this mam.. my hairs are thick and black
go for a proper hair cut in a salon and get rid of all the damaged hair and then start growing your hair again! home cuts will not help.
I tried the method of drinking soaked fenugreek seeds. I had to stop doing this because it makes me so bloated that I was very uncomfortable. 🙁 I will have to use this curd and fenugreek powder method. Could you tell me what is curd? Is it like yogurt? Btw, I tried the aloe vera with rosemary, ginger and lavender mixture for my hair after shower, I am seeing a difference already. Hair loss is less but then it could be the combination of the fenugreek I was taking then.
hi Dawn…oh!! I didn’t know it also makes one feel bloated. curd is yogurt 🙂 oh, did you see the DIY I put up or you read about it somewhere else?? yeah, it could be either. now that you have stopped fenugreek, you can judge whether the aloevera mixture is doing anything or not. do let me know the results 🙂
hey swati…where the oil is to be applied?? i mean on length or in roots???
suhani
sorry Suhani..totally lost!!! didn’t get the context of your question??? are you talking about some oil in particular??? or, just general???
both…which pil u prefer…n do u prefer applying it on the scalp only or on length also..???
i use to keep methi in a cup full of water overnight n next day i use to mix it(after makin a fine paste in mixer) with curd n apply on hair but evn after the hairwash little amount of methi use to remain in my hair n in my efforts of removing it 2-3 strands of my hair use to break down 🙁
I am applying the oil I talked about a month back, the treatment thingy!!! but, as such, I liked biotique flame of the forest and Kama brigandi both. right now, I have to review aloeveda herbal oil which also sounds great so lets see.
I apply oil both on scalp and hair ends. you should check this post out: http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2012/05/instructions-to-oil-your-hair-hair-care.html
I have detailed out how to apply oil in it.
generally, dal and other grains hair masks are damn sticky and one has to remove them carefully in the shower before shampooing. I always keep these hair masks only for 30 minutes and wash them off before they get dry coz they are really hard to get rid of if they get dry!!!
i mean oil nt pil..sry
ohkk…thanx dear 🙂 🙂
Please sugget me remedy
I M having many white hairs which makes me look old.
which natural hair colour or black mehndi will be appropriate?
or if theres any home remedy which removes it completely.
hi…getting your hairs black again is a little difficult process but using mustard or sesame oil regularly is a damn good idea to get your hair back to black.
also, biotique mehendi/henna is good, the only one tried in fact so can’t really compare but its not black mehendi. guess, shahnaz has one. you should check it out. heard a lot about it!!!

i have read this , so does it matters if we soak methi powder in curd overnight or don’t?
I think its better to soak it in plain water instead of curd!!
after applying how much time we have to spend before going to shower reply me soon please??
30 min to 1 hours is fine 🙂
Soak 3 tablespoon of fenugreek seeds(methi) in water over night. In the morning make a thick paste of fenugreek and add it to 1 cup beaten curd. Apply the hair mask and leave it for 45 minutes and wash off with a mild shampoo
yes, it works wonders I have heard…not tried personally!!!
My hair has always been very strong and healthy ,n i have never faced any hair problem in my life though i have used many hair gels n chemicals.
These days i am using Gatsby hair gel but whenever i use it, a day later it seems that my hair have turned little brownish in colour which becomes black again in some time so Is it damaging my hair..??
Also Can i use onion for keeping my hair strong and healthy as they are……??
Reply
may be the gel gets oxidized but I have not much idea regd this issue!!! yes, you can use onion juice but if you already have good hair, no need to do anything. just be regular with your routine!! also, onion changes the hair color to copper.
in that case i will stay with my hair as they are coz i dont wanna have copper hair.
Thnxx 🙂
i HAVE GOT fENUGREEK POWDER FROM MARKET, WILL IT BE HELPFUL IN ANYTHINg IF I DRINK IT WITH WATER?
hOW CAN ONE IT DRINK IT ,KINDLY SUGEST ..
check this out:
http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2010/01/how-to-increase-hair-volume.html
I am not sure how to drink the powder coz I haven’t tried it!!!
HI,is there any fact that drinking methi seeds soaked water everyday will gain weight????
well, I am not aware of that!!!
yes– Fenugreek stimulates appetite so you will eat more 🙂
also be careful : it blocks absorption of iron in your body– it s not good for women especially — and especially if you are a little anemic. and lack of iron makes your hair fall…
oh is it??? thanks for such important info…will search more on it.
swati my mother told me to fry d seeds lil bit before soaking it..so dt it wl gv more fragrance so is it advisable?
Pls reply
hi…I haven’t tried the frying method but logically, heat allows the infusion process to be better so probably a little frying would be in fact better. no harm in trying and I am sure she knows it better than us 🙂
thnx 🙂
Glad your user are finding this useful 🙂
🙂
Hi.. can u plz tell me how frequently i can apply methi-curd paste ?
you can apply it whenever u want…even daily!!
and if i soak boiled methi powder with coconut oil overnight.. will that work ??
no, you can’t do soaking in oil….you have to infuse oil with the powder which takes around a month to get proper infusions!!
thanks for sharing.
Hi, I have grey hairs which makes me look older. Heard that mustard oil can make grey hairs black again. Is that true?
it won’t make the already grey hairs black but yes, it helps with the new hairs which will come up…you can use sesame + mustard both 🙂

Hi swati my hair is very thin and now a days i’m applying methi powder with yoghart but i think every time when i sampoo my hair i’m loosing 30-40 hairs,is it okay or abnormal and 1 more thing can i apply methi and curd paste weekly?
Priya
hey Priya….everyday you can lose upto 200 hairs without growing really tensed about it 🙂 so, don’t worry. even i have thin hair but yes if you still want to prevent it, you can apply methi and curd paste every weekend 🙂 it does help with hair fall and hair texture!
Take 4tsp black seeds(kaloonji)+4tsp meethi seeds roast them slightly in a pan,then mix it in ur hair oil.keep the oil in sun for 4 days then use it.you will see the difference in one month.
wow…sounds really interesting…will do it as soon as i get the seeds 🙂
vgbhjgj

Thanks much Swathi. And I am sure reviews are very helpful. Hence, here is mine.
I had tough dandruff and was really worried. This worked as a miracle! 🙂

Hi swathi,,how ru. I tried this mask twice but I hav dry hair n I feel after using this my hair feels soft but they look very dry..wht should I do
Hello swathi….I have same prob like sapna…I have same prob…I mix methi powder n curd paste n keep paste for 2 hrs n then apply on hair…also I apply this on oiled hair…what changes should I do to prevent dryness…my hair fall has reduced
Hi Swati,
For a month I had been using Rogaine women to treat hair loss. But after reading some posts about benefits of methi seeds I have stopped using Rogaine and started applying methi paste daily. Will this really help to treat baldness? Im so worried.
Please let me know
Hi! I have been using methi curd paste for 3 months. It works as a miracle. Hairfall was reduced to 15-20 strandsbon wash. No hairfall on combing for next 5 days. I am still using this mask but know it seems it is not working since one month. Every time I wash my hairsabout 100 hairs break. What can I do?
