3 DIY Hair Masks To Bring Life To Dry And Brittle Hair

Stressed about the way your hair looks - dull and lifeless? Dry hair can become a major problem if proper care is not taken. It's not just the dryness that one needs to deal with. With the lack of haircare rituals and thorough nourishing, dry hair could lead to split ends, frizz and breakage, and even hair fall. While there are many commercially available products that promise to be the perfect solution, turning to natural ingredients is recommended by most beauty experts.

There are many incredible kitchen ingredients that can bring life to brittle hair by providing it with essential nutrients, deep nourishing the follicles and improving the hair's elasticity. If you are wondering how to get started, we list down three hair masks that are commonly used to tackle dry hair:

Honey and Banana
