The reason why I make homemade hair masks is that they contain natural ingredients that are packed with good nutrients as well.
So, without further ado, let's know about them:
Bhringraj & Kalonji Hair Mask for Hair Growth
We all know that the Bhringraj has been known for centuries for its incredible hair growth properties. Now, when we combine it with kalonji oil, also known as black seed oil, it becomes a powerful combination mask for strengthening hair and stimulating growth.

- 1 tablespoon of Kalonji oil
- Instructions:
- Mix the Bhringraj powder with water to form a smooth paste.
- Add the Kalonji oil and stir well.
- Apply it on your scalp and massage it in for a few minutes.
- Leave it on for 30-40 minutes
- Finally, wash it off with a mild shampoo.
But wait, why do I love this mask? Well, because Bhringraj Powder helps boost blood circulation to the scalp, which encourages hair growth, while Kalonji oil nourishes the hair follicles.
Curry Leaves & Coconut Nourishing Hair Mask
Now, talking about another homemade ingredient, Curry leaves are rich in antioxidants, amino acids, and beta-carotene, which helps in making the hair strong and reduces hair fall. Apart from this, when coconut water (another amazing ingredient) is mixed with curry leaves, it hydrates and nourishes the scalp and gives healthy hair growth.
Here's how I use curry leaves powder and coconut water in my hair care routine:
- Ingredients:

Banana & Fenugreek Conditioning Hair Mask
We all eat Bananas, right? But did you know that Bananas are packed with vitamins and minerals that can strengthen and nourish the hair? Yes, you read it right. Apart from this, the Fenugreek, or methi, is known to stop hair loss and boost hair growth. So, when we combine these ingredients, we create a powerful mask that helps thicken hair and keep it healthy.
