What You Need (Ingredients & Tools)

To get the best results, precision matters. This thickening hair mask combines the hydrating power of Aloe with the "King of Hair," Bhringraj.

• Spierb Aloe Vera Powder: 2 tbsp (Provides deep hydration and scalp enzymes)
• Spierb Bhringraj Powder: 2 tbsp (The primary Ayurvedic hair growth herb)
• Warm Water or Rose Water: 4–6 tbsp (Adjust for consistency)
• Carrier Oil: 1 tsp (Optional: Coconut or Argan oil for extra shine)
• Tools: Non-metallic bowl, wooden or plastic spoon, applicator brush, and a shower cap.

The Recipe: Ayurvedic Hair Growth & Thickening Mask

Ensure your water is warm, not boiling, to preserve the active nutrients and botanical enzymes within the powders.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In your bowl, combine the 2 tbsp of Aloe Vera powder and 2 tbsp of Bhringraj powder. Whisk them together until the color is uniform.
2. Add the Liquid: Gradually add your warm water or rose water one tablespoon at a time. If you are using a carrier oil, add the 1 tsp now.
3. The Consistency Check: Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. It should look like thick yogurt—runny enough to spread, but thick enough to stay on your scalp without dripping.
4. Application: Part your hair into sections. Using your fingers or an applicator brush, apply the mask directly to the scalp. Once the scalp is covered, work the remaining paste through the lengths of your hair.
5. The Wait: Cover your hair with a shower cap to trap heat and prevent the mask from drying out. Leave it on for 45 to 60 minutes.
6. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow with a mild, sulfate-free shampoo to ensure all botanical residue is removed.

Pro-Tips for Success

• Tip 1: Always perform a patch test on your inner arm 24 hours before full application to ensure you have no herbal sensitivities.
• Tip 2: For maximum scalp stimulation, massage your scalp for 5 minutes in circular motions immediately after applying the mask to boost blood circulation.

What to Expect (Results)

Natural remedies work with your body's biology, so consistency is the key to seeing a transformation.

• Immediate: Your scalp will feel significantly soothed, and your hair will appear shinier and more hydrated after the first wash.
• Long Term: With 1–2 applications per week, most users report reduced hair fall and noticeably thicker, stronger new growth within 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does aloe vera powder regrow hair?

While aloe vera powder cannot "cure" genetic baldness, it contains proteolytic enzymes that repair dead skin cells on the scalp. This clears clogged follicles and creates the optimal environment for dormant hair to regrow and for existing hair to grow faster.

How long do I leave aloe vera in my hair for growth?

For a growth-focused treatment, you should leave the aloe vera mask in your hair for at least 45 minutes. This gives the vitamins and minerals enough time to penetrate the scalp and nourish the follicles.
