Water splashes and swimming in a pool, is this how you like to relax in summer? It is a great idea but the chlorine in swimming pool can be extremely damaging for your hair. So take care of your hair tresses with this quintessential egg-nourishing mask. We all know that protein-rich egg has moisturising properties, which is effective in repairing the hair damage. Whisk an egg or two; add a spoonful of honey and a few drops of lavender oil. Apply the mask on your hair, cover your head with a shower cap and leave the mask for twenty minutes.

Hair Problem #3- Dry and dull hair
Solution – Coconut Cream Mask

Too much exposure to sun can make your hair dull and dry. To bring back the gloss on your hair, try this nutrient-rich natural green coconut hair mask. Get hold of a tender green coconut and scoop out a chunk of cream. Warm it a little until it becomes semi-liquid. Massage it gently over your scalp from root to tip. Allow the mask to stay for half an hour. You can also wrap your head in a warm towel to enjoy the best benefits. Wash off with a gentle shampoo.

Hair Problem #4- Itchy scalp

Suffering from itchy scalp? You are not alone. Scorching sunrays make our scalps dry and itchy, causing immense discomfort and hair fall.

Keep it for 15-20 minutes; rinse it off with cold water.
