One of the hottest trends in hair care is natural hair mask and hair rinses that you can make from basic ingredients found in most kitchens. After all, why spend $$ or $$$ on a bottle of fancy conditioner when you can make an amazing one from products that cost pennies?
Below are recipes I've gathered over the years for various hair types, including dry, damaged and oily. Feel free to review them if you try them out.
