Methi Hair Pack For Dandruff:
Methi seeds helps in hair regrowth, stops hair fall and treats dandruff. I always had dandruff from my young age. When I was younger, my mom used to regularly apply methi hair mask regularly on my hair and let it soak for 20 minutes before washing my hair. After marriage I don’t know why but I stopped using it.
My dandruff became very worse and I completely forgot about methi mask. I went to a dermatologist and he gave me anti dandruff shampoos to use. The problem with anti dandruff shampoos was once I stopped using them, I got the dandruff back immediately. When I went to the doctor again, I mentioned about this methi mask.
He replied that there is no permanent cure for dandruff and I will have to use anti dandruff shampoos regularly. But if I was comfortable with a home remedy I can go ahead with it. I have been using this mask regularly, weekly once or twice and my dandruff is under control. This mask is the only treatment I use for my dandruff and I have been using it for years now.
Methi Hair Pack For Hair Fall:
Methi hair pack not only treats dandruff, it greatly conditions the hair and arrests hair fall if used regularly. They help condition the scalp and strengthen the hair roots thus greatly preventing hair fall. It also helps reduce scalp inflammation, now experts claim that scalp inflammation can be one of the main reasons for hair fall.
Who Shouldn’t Use Methi Hair Pack?
The only problem with this methi seeds hair pack is that anyone who is prone to sinus or asthma can’t use it as it is very cooling and will aggravate the problem. To be on the safer side, don’t let the hair mask soak for a long time (max 10 minutes) when you are using it the first time. Once you are comfortable, then you can let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes.Methi Powder Hair Pack
