Fenugreek & Lemon Anti-Dandruff Mask
A weekly soaked-seed paste that calms flaking and itch on an oily scalp.
How to prepare
- Soak 2 tbsp fenugreek (methi) seeds in water overnight.
- Blend the next morning into a smooth paste.
- Stir in 1 tsp fresh lemon juice and 1 tbsp plain yogurt.
- Apply to the scalp in sections, leave 30 minutes, then wash with a mild herbal shampoo.
Duration: Once a week for 4–6 weeks.
Why this works
Fenugreek's mucilage soothes an irritated scalp and loosens flakes, while lemon mildly balances oil and yogurt restores moisture — a classic combination for kapha-type oily dandruff.
Safety notes
Patch-test first
- Always patch-test on the inner forearm 24 hours before scalp use.
- Skip the lemon if the scalp is broken, very dry, or actively inflamed.
