Our hair is one of the best weapons in our beauty arsenal, but unfortunately as everything else in our body, it suffers the consequences from our busy lives and hectic schedules. For some reason we always associate hair care with expensive and time-consuming procedures performed in premium beauty salons.

But that is now always the case. There are numerous fabulous hair masks which we can prepare at home, which will not only enhance the beauty and softness of our hair, but also be easy to make, less expensive, quick to apply and absolutely natural.

Please keep in mind that these are all for dry and damaged hair. If your hair is not like that but you just want to give it a boost, please use them only for the minimum stated time.
