Let it on for half an hour and then wash your hair with your regular shampoo. Your frizz will look tamed and controlled and your hair will glow with shine!

Ensure you use plain/cold water through the washing process while you have this mask on. This will hydrate your hair really well and give every strand a moisturized feeling to flaunt!

3. Hot oil hair mask remedy

In a small boiling pan, pour in a tablespoon of coconut oil, almond oil, avocado oil or jojoba oil and heat it until you see fumes. Turn the flame off and add in a few fresh curry leaves to the oil.

Use your fingertips and massage your scalp for at least 5-10 minutes. Concentrate on your fly-away hair and driest part of the scalp and on the hair tips. Leave this hair oil mask on at least for half an hour and then wash it off with your regular mild shampoo. You won’t need a conditioner for your hair wash when you have this mask on.

Leave it on for 40 minutes before you wash it off with plain/cold water and your regular shampoo. Skip the conditioner

Not only will your hair look hydrated and nourished, but will be more manageable and frizz-free too.
