Sunday, on the hair
Root Revival Hair Mask
Amla, fenugreek and neem, mixed to a paste
- Free delivery above Rs. 999
- Made in small batches, so it is made often
About
Aloe vera, banana powder, flax seed, amla, fenugreek, neem, brahmi and rosemary, ground into a powder you mix fresh.
Eight things, most of them from a garden rather than a shop. Mixed with water it is a light paste; mixed with curd it is a thick one, and both are correct. Nothing is added to make it keep, which is why it arrives dry and you make only as much as you need.
It is a Sunday job. Twenty minutes rather than five, lukewarm water to rinse, and a wide comb afterwards. It smells strongly of fenugreek while it is on, and then it does not.
How to use
Thicker than you think. A runny paste slides off before it has done anything. Lukewarm water to rinse, never hot, and give it twenty minutes rather than five. Once a week is plenty.
- Mix to a thick paste with water or curd
- Apply to damp hair, roots first
- Leave twenty to thirty minutes
- Rinse with lukewarm water
Ingredients
Storage and shelf life
Keep the lid tight and use a dry spoon. Water in the jar will spoil it.

What goes in
Everything in Root Revival Hair Mask
-
Flax seed
Linum usitatissimum
Roasted whole then partly ground, so the sprinkle keeps its crunch and the hair mask stays fine.
-
Aloe vera
Aloe barbadensis
The gel is dried to a powder so the mask can be mixed fresh instead of needing a preservative.
-
Banana powder
Musa acuminata
Dried and milled to a fine powder. It is what makes the mask paste smooth rather than gritty.
-
Amla
Phyllanthus emblica
Indian gooseberry, dried and ground with the stone removed.
-
Fenugreek
Trigonella foenum-graecum, methi
Methi. Ground fine, because whole seeds do not rinse out of hair.
-
Neem
Azadirachta indica
Leaf rather than bark or oil. It is the bitter note you can smell in the dry powder.
-
Brahmi
Bacopa monnieri
Dried and ground whole. A household hair-oil ingredient long before it was a powder.
-
Rosemary
Salvia rosmarinus
The only ingredient in the mask that is not traditionally Indian. It is there for the smell.
