Hair can be damaged through overuse of heat tools, improper or excessive bleaching/hair coloring, hard water, chlorine and too much sun exposure. Once hair gets damaged, it’s very hard to get it back to its original state. It needs a lot of TLC to help it rejuvenate and replenish its damaged hair cells. That’s why turning to natural hair care products is very important to nurse your dry damaged hair back to health and vitality.

9. To condition your hair, I recommend using this DIY aloe vera leave in conditioner. Or, you can use a little amount of coconut oil to condition. I also love this DIY Shea Butter Hair Conditioner. It’s suitable for dry and damaged hair!
