You could say your hair is pretty healthy. You take care of it, oil it once in a while, and avoid the flat iron as much as you can. That WOULD be ideal, but it’s not is it? And even if you are really good at taking care of your hair, external factors like pollution, hard water and hair products can have affected your hair. The first thing that I usually notice is that your hair seems lackluster. It just isn’t shiny or smooth and silky. I am not saying it should look like the hair commercials, but hair is supposed to have a slight silky sheen to it.
Homemade Natural Hair Mask
Well, here are 4 DIY homemade hair masks that will return the shiny and lustre back to your hair. All of these masks are natural with no side effects and can definitely be used once or twice a week depending on the way they show results on your hair type.
