In a world filled with expensive hair serums and salon treatments, sometimes the simplest beauty hacks offer the most effective solutions, often passed down through family recipes. In a recent viral video, Dr Madhu Chopra, mother of global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas, revealed the homemade hair mask she credits for their “head full of hair.” Let's explore this natural haircare secret.
Dr Madhu Chopra’s DIY Hair Mask Recipe
In the video, Dr Madhu Chopra shared a DIY hair mask that is part of her weekly routine, made from ingredients readily available in her kitchen. She explained, “Today, I am doing weekly maintenance for my hair.” The oil mixture she applied included coconut oil, fenugreek seeds (methi dana), rosemary leaves, and cooked rice water mixed with chia seeds.

Her Healthy Hair Journey
Dr Chopra noted that the soaked chia seeds turn into a jelly-like texture, making the mixture slimy and easy to apply. She said, “All of these mixed together, a little spoonful of each, make a great mask, and I put it on my hair and leave it for an hour and then wash it.” She added, “This helps keep my head full of hair.” (Image Credits: Pinterest)
How This Combination Works
This blend supports scalp health, hair strength, and overall appearance. While no DIY remedy guarantees dramatic hair growth, these ingredients contain compounds linked to healthier hair. Coconut oil protects the hair shaft; fenugreek seeds are rich in proteins, iron, and antioxidants; rosemary leaves stimulate the scalp; chia seeds provide omega-3 fatty acids, protein, zinc, and antioxidants; and cooked rice water contains amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and starches that improve hair elasticity.
