We fail to realize that hair damage can result from a variety of sources, including nutritional deficiencies, excessive stress, illnesses, and over exposure. If you feel that your hair has lost its shine and looks dull and lifeless, then the following recipes of hair masks might change that!
All these hair masks are easy to make, in terms of expertise, ingredients, and recipe. Why not give them a try?
1. Egg Mask
Don’t wait for a visit to a salon to make this mask. It is really easily made and very good for your hair because eggs are protein-rich and will help damaged hair. They also contain beneficial nutrients, such as lecithin and fatty acids.

Keep it on for half hour.After 30 minutes, wash your hair with a mild shampoo and cool water. Hot water will make the proteins in the egg clot and it will be difficult to remove.
