🌱How I Used Fenugreek Seeds to Help Reduce My Hair Loss

 

IN HER WORDS: Guest contributor, Deepika Verma from Makeupmagique discusses what prompted her test our fenugreek seeds for hair, putting a fenugreek hair mask vs. SAVE ME FROM fenugreek seeds hair treatments to the test, side by side.

I was introduced to Save Me From scalp care and hair repair treatments about a year ago and have always had an exceptionally good experience using these fenugreek products, also known as methi for hair and healthy scalp treatments. I am surely someone who is not quick in trusting a skincare/hair care brand, however upon learning about the Fenugen technology used in Save Me From hair repair treatments and the luxuriousness of the product’s quality and packaging intrigued me. Because of my postpartum hair loss, and the stress I’ve been feeling due to Covid-19, I was definitely drawn towards fenugreek seeds as a hair loss treatment and giving Save Me From hair repair a try. 

 

Developed by leaders in skin care, SAVE ME FROM's Clinically Proven Hair + Scalp Treatments use a Fenugreek complex 5x more potent in plant nutrients including polyphenols, niacinamide, vitamins A, B and C, formulated alongside caffeine to feed the scalp and help stimulate the hair follicles. 

For a quick background, I have had severe postpartum hair loss earlier last year, so I have had my share of concerns that come with alarming hair fall. For me, not only was I experiencing hair fall, but my hair texture was changing. I was not alone. By age 40, approximately 40% experience hair loss in women. Hair loss postpartum is when unusually high volume of shedding occurs after giving birth, typically around 3-4 months postpartum. I started researching fenugreek for hair growth and fenugreek benefits for hair loss. 

Unique Factors Influencing Hair Loss

In addition to stress and postpartum hair loss, there have recently been reports of losing hair after covid. Many men and women found hair falling out in large clumps after months of recovering from covid-19, a temporary condition where hair excessively begins to shed after a stressful life event known as telogen effluvium. This stress induced hair loss effects both men and women three months after a stressful event. Although this excessive hair loss is temporary, it is a stressful and emotionally distressing time. The fenugreek seeds benefits for hair is powerful. Rich phytonutrients help fenugreek seeds for hair fall results because they have been shown to help restore hair health and believed to reduce hair loss naturally while helping to stimulating hair growth.

Benefits of Fenugreek Seeds for Hair Growth

Fenugreek seeds, also known as Trigonella foenum-graecum, are a triangular seed originating from Asia and used in Ayurveda for their various medicinal properties. Not only are fenugreek seeds a rich source of proteins, amino acids that act as signaling peptides, fiber, phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine, glycolipids, oleic acid, linoleic acid, choline, vitamin A, vitamin C, and B vitamins (including niacin and niacinamide), and iron, but they also contain a unique composition of bioactive phytonutrients, including apoptogenic flavonoids such as quercetin, phytosterols such as diosgenin and saponins.

Fenugreek Hair Benefits

Powerful plant nutrients power fenugreek benefits for hair which have been known in Asian countries for centuries and shown to:

• Helps to reduce dandruff
• Helps to promote hair growth and helps reduce hair loss
• Helps make hair shiny and silky

I had been doing a lot of research on is fenugreek good for hair, on fenugreek hair growth studies, hair care routines and hair masks using fenugreek for hair. Fenugreek hair masks was a topic that I was seeing everywhere. Everybody has been talking about methi seeds for hair because fenugreek for hair loss has been shown to work by promoting healthy hair with adding shine, smoothness, strength and thickness. I wanted to try these fenugreek seeds for hair benefits for myself, but I was always intimidated by the process. Fenugreek hair loss rituals looked messy and time consuming but with results like promoting hair growth, adding shine and fighting dandruff, I had put fenugreek seeds hair growth benefits to the test. 

How to Use Fenugreek Seeds for Hair Growth

While researching how to use fenugreek for hair, I was tempted to try Save Me From hair repair treatments because they contain 5X more plant nutrients than using the fenugreek seeds alone. I decided I'd try the Fenugen technology found in all their products with a side-by-side comparison with a DIY fenugreek hair mask. In my video, I explained how to prepare a hair mask with fenugreek seeds by soaking fenugreek seeds in water overnight.

The next day, if excess water remains, some people will use fenugreek water for hair growth. It's pretty easy how to use fenugreek water for hair but for this, I blended these methi seeds for hair growth into a fine paste, adding 1 or 2 tbsp of coconut oil and mixed everything all together to get methi benefits for hair.

This DIY fenugreek hair mask has a beautiful, maple scent. The scent of the blended fenugreek seeds are quite relaxing and the texture is quite slimy, which makes the DIY fenugreek hair mask very messy. Mess aside, I've heard this is a great hair mask for dry hair and the ends of my hair felt extremely dry, lifeless, unruly and frizzy. It

I divided my hair into two sections. On one side I applied the home-made fenugreek mask recipe and on the other, I applied Save Me From Hair Repair treatments. I then wetted my hair down so that both the fenugreek mixture and the Save Me From Tip to Root Hair Reboot products would apply evenly.

How to Make A Fenugreek Seed Hair Mask

My first impression of the homemade fenugreek hair mask was it’s very messy. As soon as I began putting it on, it was falling off, all over the place and all over the flow. I was a bit turned off by the messy affair. Nevertheless, I was excited to see the results, so I paid special attention to applying it on areas where my hair was the most damaged from midshaft to the ends. It is this area of the hair that needs special attention and is deprived of nourishment and moisturization.

On the other side, I applied Save Me From Hair Repair + Scalp Care. Their hair repair treatment line that comes in a variety to address several hair damage concerns. Today I will be multi-"masking" (although Save Me From hair treatments are silicone-free and don't "mask" damage at all) with Save Me From Chemical Conflict to improve my hair’s strength and resistance to breakage. Since I have super oily roots, I’ll also be applying Save Me From Product Overload to help remove excess oil and detoxify the scalp.

These Fenugen infused hair treatments are rich in fenugreek seed's plant compounds are very concentrated formulas, so I only need to use a very small amount. A little goes a long way and is best to use on wet hair and damp hands to allow the product to spread further. I start off by applying the product from tip to root, focusing more product on the ends to help reduce the frizz and dryness of split ends while working my way up to the roots. The best part of these products is that if you happen to apply more than required, they penetrate into the layers of the hair just like skin care, so your hair continues to absorb all the goodness throughout the day.

I then tied both sides of my hair up, put on a shower cap and slept with them both in overnight. The next day, I shampooed and conditioned my hair like normal and applied a small portion of Save Me From’s Thermal Obsession. I like to use this as a leave in hair repair moisturizer which also acts as my heat protectant. On days that I’m blow drying or heat styling, I don’t need to apply any addition heat protectant or hair repair oil.

 

How I Use Fenugreek Seeds for Hair Growth? 

When it came time to compare the results, both sides of my hair felt incredibly soft. If you look closely at the side where I applied the homemade fenugreek mask, you’ll notice the ends don’t look very soft and even but the side that I applied Save Me From hair repair treatments look very tame, more nourished and the ends look more shiny and smooth. As I work my way up on the side with the homemade fenugreek hair mask, my hair definitely still looks frizzy but the side with Save Me From looks much less frizzy, more nourished, shiny and much more manageable. In addition, the side with Save Me From enhanced the beauty of the natural wave in my hair! I then used blow dryer to heat style my hair and added Save Me From Pollution Assault as a final step to smooth any flyaways and add shine.

Fenugreek for Hair Growth Before and After

In my opinion, I was so happy with the results from Save Me From hair treatments (not to mention how disappointed I was with how messy the DIY fenugreek hair mask was). Fenugreek seeds for hair thickening is already well known but what I love about Save Me From hair care the most is that I don’t feel the need to blow dry my hair at all to get thicker, plumper hair. My hair was more manageable even without a blow dryer! A single use is all it takes to show the immediate difference! My hair texture felt so much smoother, healthier and manageable. As I've continued to use Save Me From hair products, I've also noticed the benefits of fenugreek for hair fall. I not only like to use these hair repair treatments as overnight restorative treatments, but I can get fenugreek seed hair benefits in a variety of other times I style my hair, such using it as a daily leave-in conditioner, using it as a hair refresher in between washes to freshen up the scalp and reduce frizz, and using it as a heat protectant and moisture booster. I've noticed thicker hair at the scalp, less breakage in the shower and healthier hair overall.
