Love those locks

Dry frizzy locks lead to breaking and damage, which can be distressing. However, before you book that steam appointment with your stylist, here are a few tried and tested homemade packs that can help return shine and health to your hair.

Coconut oil: This is best suited for dry and frizzy hair. Its moisturizing elements make hair soft and shiny. Mix equal parts of coconut and olive oils and apply gently from the root to the tips of your hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave for at least one hour, then rinse off with a mild herbal shampoo and conditioner.

Banana: Banana is a natural ingredient which makes hair strong by preventing damaged roots. Blend one over ripe banana, then add one tablespoon of honey and apply to your hair, especially the roots. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water.

Oatmeal: This is best suited for oily scalp, dandruff, scalp irritation and inflammation. It nourishes oily scalp by eliminating excessive oil. It results in hair growth by treating dandruff and protecting hair follicles. Mix oatmeal, fresh milk and almond oil into a paste. Ensure that your hair is free from tangles before applying the pack. Put it gently on your hair. Leave it for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water.

Hibiscus: This is a solution for weak roots as hibiscus is known to strengthen them. Soak hibiscus petals overnight in a cup of water. Then blend it with olive oil and raw milk. Apply this to hair and leave on for 20 to 25 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water. (Free Beauty Tips)
