DIY HAIR MASK

Hair masks play a vital role in maintaining healthy, beautiful hair, serving as an essential part of any effective haircare routine. Unlike regular conditioners, which primarily provide surface-level moisture, DIY hair mask recipes penetrate deeper into the hair shaft, delivering intense hydration and nourishment. This deep conditioning effect is crucial for restoring moisture to dry and damaged hair, making it feel softer and more manageable.
