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
