Here’s a magical DIY keratin treatment recipe you can try at home using natural ingredients — a plant-powered, keratin-boosting mask for straight, smooth, and shiny hair. This isn’t a chemical keratin treatment like those done in salons but a natural alternative that deeply nourishes, strengthens, and smooths the hair shaft.
🌿 Magical Seeds Keratin Treatment at Home
For: Straight, Smooth, Shiny Hair
✨ Ingredients:
-
2 tbsp Flaxseeds (linseeds) – rich in omega-3s and proteins, gives a gel-like consistency that coats the hair like keratin.
-
1 tbsp Fenugreek Seeds (methi) – promotes shine and reduces frizz.
-
1 Banana (ripe) – acts as a natural conditioner and smooths cuticles.
-
2 tbsp Yogurt or Curd – adds protein and moisturizes.
-
1 tbsp Aloe Vera Gel – calms scalp, smooths hair, and helps with detangling.
-
1 tbsp Coconut Milk or Argan Oil – hydrates and gives a straightened look.
-
Vitamin E capsule (optional) – for extra shine and strength.
🧪 Prep:
-
Soak flaxseeds and fenugreek overnight in 1 cup water.
-
Boil the soaked seeds in the same water until you see a gel forming (around 5-7 mins).
-
Strain using a muslin cloth while hot (use a spoon to squeeze out all the gel).
-
Let the gel cool slightly.
-
In a blender, add the gel + banana + yogurt + aloe vera + coconut milk (and Vitamin E if using).
-
Blend until smooth. Strain again to remove lumps (important for easy washing).
🧴 How to Apply:
-
Wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo and towel dry.
-
Divide your hair into sections.
-
Apply the mask from root to tip, ensuring full coverage.
-
Cover with a shower cap and leave for 1–2 hours.

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. (You can lightly shampoo if needed.)
-
Finish with a cold rinse for shine.
🌟 Tips for Best Results:

Blow-dry or flat iron after use (optional) for extra straightening.
