When it comes to fixing damage, stimulating shine, or simply adding a dollop of moisture, everyone has their own choice of hair mask. But let's face it, most of them are too expensive to use on a regular basis as prescribed. Thankfully, you can make your own masks with components you probably already have on hand.
Hair masks created at home are excellent for calming and mending damage caused by colouring, hot tools, salt water, and even chlorine. They're also adaptable to your hair's texture, whether it's coarse, frizzy, dry, greasy, fine, or wavy. Hair masks are a fast, yet very effective way to treat your hair with a slew of health benefits in just 20 minutes. Consider hair masks to be high-powered conditioners for your hair. They help in smoothening and moisturising, giving your hair a boost to grow, add shine, and even protect your hair from infections.
We're going to share with you 3 fantastic hair masks that will nourish, protect, and moisturise your hair so you can look your best.
