Avocado Homemade Hair Mask For Damaged Hair

Just like we have different skin types, in the form of dry, normal, or oily, our hair too is different. There are various types of hair textures. One of the most common distinctions is whether you have hair that is dry, oily, or frizzy.

A homemade hair mask for dry and damaged hair will be different from a hair mask that is made for frizzy hair, which is dry but not damaged. One of the first things to understand before you prepare your hair mask at home is what hair type you have.

The homemade hair mask shown here is typically great for brittle and dry hair. It is also good for application on lackluster and damaged hair which snaps at the slightest touch.
