Say goodbye to dry, frizzy hair

Having dry, frizzy hair is every girl’s nightmare. Besides being unmanageable, it also aggravates hairfall. It also becomes difficult to style dry hair. Well, a few DIY hair treatments can end your hair woes. The following simple home remedies can add shine to your lacklustre locks. Tea Tree products Shampoos fortified with tea tree oil is great for dry scalp. It is good for dry hair as its essential oils don’t strip the hair off its natural oils. Natural scalp oil helps in keeping the hair less frizzy. Olive Oil Massage olive oil onto your scalp and smear it to the rest of your hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic wrap, and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with shampoo. This leaves your hair frizz-free and conditioned. Rosemary oil, sesame oil and apricot oil could also be effective alternatives. Egg and Mayonnaise The combination of egg and mayonnaise is an old school dry hair treatment. These ingredients nourish your hair with proteins which makes it silky and shiny. Blend eggs and mayonnaise in a bowl. Apply the mixture on your hair for about 30- 45 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly. Conditioning Treatments There are many over-the-counter conditioners available for frizzy hair. While selecting, avoid gel-based and alcohol-based products as they tend to dry your hair even more. If you want to use a product to condition your hair, use a styling cream instead. Serums Using hair serums is a great option for silky hair. After blow-drying your hair, rub a few drops of hair serum to reduce dryness caused by blow-drying. Serums are very effective to tame frizzy hair. Tip of the week Facial skin is most sensitive, and taking good care of it must top your beauty priorities. Always moisturise your face before applying make-up. This will prevent the make-up from entering the pores of your skin. Additionally, it prevents allergies caused by using different products.
