5 Natural Ways To Treat Dry Hair During Summer

Natural hair masks are an excellent way to remedy dull and dry hair at home. Dry hair can be easily identified due to split ends and excessive hair breakage (your hair gets damaged and breaks easily). If you are looking for a solution for your frizzy, dull, rough hair, a homemade hair mask can help you out!

There are many natural ingredients, such as avocado, egg, and yogurt, that can prevent dryness by nourishing your locks with needed moisture. Dry hair suffers from a lack of oil and moisture, which makes the hair brittle and frizzy. For soft, shiny, and silky hair, check out these mask recipes.

* Avocado

The fleshy, high fiber content of this butter fruit makes its application easy on the hair.A ripe avocado is a great moisturizer for skin and hair, and it's loaded with lots of nutrients and vitamins.This fruit's natural oil acts as a deep conditioner for dull hair.It can be used alone or with other ingredients in a hair mask.

- Peel a ripe avocado and mash it. In a bowl, beat it with olive oil. (Note: Do not use olive oil if your hair is color-treated. Olive oil has the tendency to lighten highlights. You can substitute almond oil or jojoba oil instead.)
- Wet your hair before applying the hair mask. Apply the mask to the scalp and hair ends. Make sure you tuck your hair into a shower cap after applying the mask.
- After around 25 to 30 minutes, run your fingers through your hair and massage your scalp.
