Give your hair a natural shine and strength with this traditional hair mask, packed with the goodness of Shikakai, Fenugreek, and Amla. This mask is designed to cleanse, nourish, and add a healthy shine to your hair, leaving it soft, smooth, and revitalized. 

Ingredients: 

  • Shikakai Powder: 1 tablespoon 
  • Fenugreek Powder: 1 tablespoon 
  • Amla Powder: 1 tablespoon 
  • Water: Enough to make a smooth, spreadable paste 

Instructions: 

  1. Prepare the Paste: 
  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of Shikakai Powder, 1 tablespoon of Fenugreek Powder, and 1 tablespoon of Amla Powder. 
  • Gradually add water to the mixture while stirring continuously until a smooth, lump-free paste forms. Adjust the amount of water to achieve a consistency that is easy to apply to your hair. 
  1. Application: 
  • Apply the mask evenly to clean, damp hair, starting from the roots and working your way to the ends. Make sure to cover all strands thoroughly. 
  • Gently massage the scalp for a few minutes to stimulate circulation and allow the mask to penetrate the hair roots. 
  1. Let It Sit: 
  • Leave the mask on for 30 minutes to allow the ingredients to nourish and strengthen your hair. 
  1. Rinse Off: 
  • Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water and wash with a mild shampoo or castile soap to remove any residue. 
  • Follow with a conditioner if needed. 

Benefits of Each Ingredient: 

  • Shikakai Powder: A natural cleanser that gently removes dirt and excess oil from the scalp while promoting healthy hair growth and preventing dandruff. Adds shine and softness to hair. 
  • Fenugreek Powder: Rich in proteins and nicotinic acid, it helps strengthen hair follicles, reduce hair fall, and promote new hair growth. Also adds moisture and shine. 
  • Amla Powder: High in Vitamin C and antioxidants, Amla Powder nourishes the scalp, promotes hair growth, prevents premature graying, and adds natural shine and volume to hair. 

How to Use: 

  • Use this mask once a week for shiny, healthy hair. Regular use can help reduce hair fall, improve hair texture, and add a natural shine. 

Storage: 

  • This hair mask is best used fresh, but the dry powder mix (Shikakai, Fenugreek, and Amla) can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Just add water before use.
