Let’s be honest, taking care of your hair seems like a laborious routine when you’re stuck at home almost every day. Maybe you’ve fallen off the bandwagon when it comes to actively ensuring that your hair stays healthy. After all, it’s become so normal to get up, take a shower and brush your hair or throw it in a ponytail or into twists. Here are 3 DIY hair masks that you can use to bring life back into your hair:
1. Coconut oil, lemon and egg hair mask
