Are you struggling with dry and frizzy hair? Here are three DIY hair mask options to nourish your locks and restore shine.
Winters can play havoc on your hair. Reduced moisture in the air, cold winds, hot showers, and several other factors make your hair dry and frizzy and lead to hair issues like split ends, hair fall, dandruff, and itchy scalp.
Wondering how to tackle these issues? You can easily revive your hair with some TLC and a nourishing DIY hair mask. Here are some hydrating protein hair mask options that will make your hair healthy and lustrous:

Since your hair is composed of the protein keratin, it needs protein both on the inside and outside. This simple DIY hair mask can provide much-needed protein to your hair and prevent breakage.

Honey contains keratin, which helps to fortify hair and prevent breakage brought on by brittle, damaged hair.
