Are you tired of trying so many hair care products that promise to treat your dry and frizzy hair? Don’t worry Nature has the solution for all your problems. Before treating any disease you should understand the reason behind it. Hair becomes frizzy when the cuticle layer of hair is raised, allowing the moisture to pass and swell the strands. This causes your hair to become dry and frizzy instead of smooth and defined.
The main reason for hair to dry out is not drinking enough water, medication, wrong product choice, using hot water to wash your hair, sleeping on cotton/ rough pillow case etc. Frizzy hair is craving for moisture.
