Fenugreek Hair Mask Review: My Honest Results After 4 Weeks

Pin

This summer, I decided to do a month-long hair growth challenge using fenugreek — and honestly, I was desperate for something to work.

My hair had been stuck at waist length for a couple of years. No matter what I tried, it just wouldn’t grow past that point. After having my baby, my postpartum hair felt even more stubborn and lifeless. I went down a research rabbit hole about growth plateaus, and that’s when I stumbled upon Glow-in-Peace’s video about breaking through hair length barriers with a fenugreek and msm hair mask.

As someone who loves DIY hair care and needed real results, I had to try it. I applied the mask every two weeks throughout the month. Now, full transparency: I didn’t measure anything or take before-and-after photos (I know, I know 😅). But I could see the difference with my own eyes — and that’s what mattered to me.

My Real Results at a Glance

• Curls felt thicker and fuller
• Way less breakage than usual
• Stretched length looked longer

• Strong smell (not gonna lie)
• Application was a bit messy

My Verdict: Definitely worth doing once every two weeks

The Method I Used (No Grit!)

The original recipe used fenugreek powder — but I only had seeds. So I blended them, thinking it would be the same…
My first try left sand-like pieces stuck in my curls 😭

Here’s the version that actually works:

1️⃣ Soak 1 tablespoon of fenugreek seeds overnight
2️⃣ Boil briefly the next morning + let cool
3️⃣ Blend into a smooth liquid
4️⃣ Strain well using a cheesecloth
5️⃣ Mix with:

• 1–2 tbsp conditioner or hair mask
• 1 tsp of honey
• 1 tsp castor oil
• 1 tsp of shea butter
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Tiny pinch of MSM powder to test and then gradually increase to a teablespoon

6️⃣ Apply to scalp + curls
7️⃣ Cover with a shower cap for 1 hour
8️⃣ Rinse thoroughly and style as usual

Nighttime Care for Better Growth

One thing that helped me during this challenge was my night routine — keeping my curls moisturized and reducing breakage while I sleep.
Here are two things that made a big difference for me:

• Switching to a satin pillowcase
• Using a gentle scalp massage before bed

This isn’t a magical overnight growth hack…
