Repair Dry Hair with Moisture
No one wants dry, damaged hair. You must have a regular hair care routine if you want healthy hair. You will have radiant, shiny and lustrous hair using the following moisturizing hair masque recipes. These hair masques are best used immediately after mixing. (When mixture is refrigerated and cold, the fats and oils can’t penetrate the hair follicles as well.)
Note: warm or hot temperature opens the hair follicles and the moisturizing hair conditioner can penetrate the follicles deeper. Cold water closes the hair follicles. Remember: after you rinse your hair with lukewarm water, rinse again (briefly) with very cold water (whatever you can stand).
