Hair tends to be playful and rebellious especially when seasons are changing or when it’s exposed to damaging external factors (harsh temps, scorching heat, dry air of heaters). It starts falling out. Hair is dull, coarse and unruly. To make things worse, most hair products contain comedogenic dehydrating alcohols and mineral oil. Luckily, you can make natural masks, made up of food ingredients that we all have at home, which are the best products to quickly nourish the hair.
