This DIY hair mask is one of the best hair masks for shiny and nourished hair that I have come across. It has a lot of ingredients but they are easily available in your kitchen and you can skip the ones you can’t find easily.
My hair went from damaged to shiny in just one application and everybody asked me if I had gone through some hair smoothening treatment or what!
I do not favour such chemical treatments, although it’s a personal choice. I prefer natural hair packs, summer is the best time to apply it and nourish your hair properly.
Here is how you can make this hair mask –
Table of Contents
Ingredients of Hair Shine Mask (For long hair)
Just decrease the quantity to half for medium-length hair
- 2 Tablespoon Fenugreek Seeds (Methi) Soaked Overnight
- 20 Curry (kadi patta) Leaves
- 4-5 Hibiscus (gurhal) Leaves
- 2 Tablespoon Curd
- 1 Teaspoon Aloe vera gel (fresh or packed as per the availability)
- 2-3 drops Essential Oil of Your Choice (Optional)
- A few mint leaves (Must add if you have an itchy scalp)
- 2 teaspoons Olive Oil/ Coconut Oil/ Hair Oil of Your Choice
How to Make the Hair Shine Pack
Mix all the mentioned ingredients in a mixer grinder jar and grind it super fine. It should not have a grainy consistency, it will look as shown in the image below.
I will highly recommend passing it through a soup strainer or any kind of sieve. It will save you a lot of time in removing the fenugreek husk from your hair.
Although you can use it as it is as well.
How to Apply the Hair Mask to Your Hair
Divide your dry hair into sections, then apply the hair mask like a normal hair pack. Apply it liberally on your hair right from the scalp to the hair ends.
Keep it like that for at least 30 minutes to one hour.
Wash it off properly while using a big tooth comb to remove the stands of leaves and fenugreek husk.
Two Options for Getting the Most Benefits of Shine Hair Pack
- For Heavily Dry and Damaged Hair – Don’t Shampoo and just remove the mask with plain water. Apply a little hair oil on your scalp and keep it overnight. Wash Your hair the next day with shampoo twice, followed by a little hair conditioner.
- For Mild Damaged Hair – Shampoo your hair with a mild and gentle shampoo and use a small amount of conditioner.
Things to Consider With DIY Hair Shine Mask
- Don’t use any harsh shampoos after the hair mask, it will strip away the nourishment right away.
- It’s okay to have some oily-looking hair till your next wash, Your hair will keep absorbing the moisture and will reveal its shine whenever you wash it next.
- A serum is good and can be applied if you feel the need.
