DIY: Mustard Oil Treatments For Dry Hair

Hair is the most important feature of the human body. As it's the season of rain and high moisture content in the atmosphere, for most of us, it usually means bad hair days on a frequent basis. For many, frizzy hair is a daily battle and it can be frustrating for those who want shiny and silky hair all the time. To know more on the different home remedies for dry and frizzy hair, read on.

Different hair types behave differently. Some hair puff up due to humidity and other types turn limb and volume-less.

Frizzy hair can be very difficult to style. The main cause of it is lack of moisture. The cuticle layers on the hair strand need moisture to make it smooth.

Here, you will find a few natural DIY mustard oil treatments and masks for dry, lifeless hair. So, say good-bye to your bad hair days for good.

1) Fenugreek, Yogurt And Mustard Oil Mask:
Mustard oil makes the hair healthy, smooth and silky. Yogurt is a great conditioner and fenugreek seeds have the ability to pass the required amount of moisture to the hair. This mask will tame your frizzy hair and make it more manageable. The olive oil will give that extra shine.

Ingredients:
- A handful of fenugreek seeds soaked in water overnight
- A cup of yogurt
- 2 tablespoons of mustard oil
