today's video is going to be a big experiment lately i've been hearing all of these amazing
things about fenugreek the benefits and what it can do for curly hair i've always wanted to try
it but i've never gotten around to it so today is the day i'm going to make this mask for the
first time and see how well my hair responds to it if you're new welcome to lotus flower life my
name is michelle subscribe and hit that bell for more videos just like this one let's get into it
let's get our fenugreek seeds i got these from amazon they said they were raw from
india so it sounded pretty legit so those are the ones that i got i'll go ahead
and link it in the description box it's a very simple recipe all you have to do is
combine the fenugreek seeds with some really hot water let it sit overnight
and it's going to grow two to three times the size then we're going to blend it up
now that the fenugreek has basically tripled in size we're going to add that to a blender i worked
my way up from a low all the way to high speed i noticed that it was getting stuck a lot you
definitely want to be careful to not destroy your blender because i have a really powerful blender
and it just was not blending out as easily as i thought it would so i had to keep on adding water
and the more water i added the more the fenugreek started to grow it just kept on expanding and
expanding so i think this really absorbs water really well which may be a really good thing
for my hair we're gonna see later on then the next step is to strain it which is the absolute hardest
part for me it took me 10 minutes to strain all of this i still ended up with seeds at the end
of it so i think i need to come up with a better way to strain this maybe i'll try panty hose
i wouldn't do the french press because this is a little too thick to try and get through the french
press that's the only thing i feel like i need to figure out what's an easier way to strain this if
any of you guys know how to make this mask a little bit easier please put me on because i
have no idea this is the first time i'm making it i really loved the texture at the end of it it had
more of a jelly like consistency it's like the mix between a gel and a cream and that works
so well for my hair with other ingredients so i'm excited to see how it will work for mine
okay you guys the time has come to finally test this out for the first time and i'm so
excited i went ahead and shampooed my hair i did not detangle because i really want to see
how well this works let's try it out i'm just going to split my hair in half
put this side up and let's get into it honestly it was really hard work to make
that mask i mean not the first part but the part where i was basically having to strain
it out feels good so far this does not smell like maple syrup i don't really know how to
describe what the smell is like i think i'm gonna go in a little bit more because my hair
is tangled the slip is pretty good i'm not blown away but this slip is better than
most deep conditioners i guess that means it's really good okay so now i am going to
detangle it's detecting my hair really well with just my hand so okay here's the test guys
wow
well detangling was a breeze i'm going to have to say that slip wise this is definitely a 10.
how long was that a few seconds a few minutes but i do have this brush which makes everything
really easy to detangle texture wise it feels
really thick rich and creamy my only concern is whether these little pieces
are gonna come out of my hair when it's time for me to rinse it out we'll see about it
i don't know about you guys but like deep conditioning is my favorite part
of my curly hair routine there's just something about putting on a mask
it just feels so therapeutic for me i split it in two sections but i am going
to detangle this all together now just in case i missed the spot so let's see
okay my loves this is what one side is looking like so far i'd say it looks pretty good it's pretty
shiny let's go to the other side i heard that this was also good for your skin too but my skin's so
sensitive and reactive it's also acne prone so i'm not sure if it's also good for that
didn't really do any research and here i am finger detangling when i could just be using my brush
just going to put a little extra on my scalp because that's how i always
do when i'm putting on my deep conditioner make sure it's really getting on there
because it has a lot of benefits for scalp health so you definitely want to apply it directly to the
scalp as well don't worry about it creating build up i'm going to rinse this out later
well at least hopefully with this mask won't leave build up i don't really know this is
the first time i'm trying it there's definitely a little bit of seeds i could see throughout my hair
hopefully this will actually wash out because i hate having residue left over from my hair mask
so i went through a lot to strain this and almost took my hands out i'm not even kidding ya'll
i love to saran wrap my hair while i'm deep conditioning because
it makes the results so much more effective i'm going to go ahead and do that on my head
follow through with a little bit of heat from my heat cap
and then i'm going to show you guys results and tell you what i think about this fenugreek hair mask
wow
oh so you know how i mentioned before i was concerned that the seeds would be left in my hair
well they were i shampooed and detangled with conditioner there still was a little tiny bit
of it left after i rinsed it out it did kind of smell like maple syrup but honestly i don't mind
the smell i actually kind of like it because it reminds me of pancakes and i love pancakes so
that's not necessarily a bad thing to me my hair just responded so well to fenugreek i kind of
had a feeling that it would but i wasn't sure because i hadn't tried it before but i cannot
wait to figure out different ways to incorporate this into my hair regimen it has amazing slip i
have to give that a 10 out of 10 moisture 10 out of 10 and smell seven out of ten for more similar
