My Thoughts
I absolutely love using fenugreek! Whether it is the powder or the seed, fenugreek has been absolutely beneficial in the health of my natural hair.I use the fenugreek mist right after my Wash day to keep my hair moisturized before my leave-in and styling products. I use the fenugreek oil to massage my scalp and to seal my ends.
