We have all heard about face washes and body washes. But have you ever heard about hair washes? By hair wash, we do not mean your regular shampoo and conditioner. These are some natural rinses that can be used after you shampoo your hair.

Basically, hair rinses/washes provide a layer of protection to your hair from pollution, chemicals, heat, etc. Some can also maintain the pH balance of the scalp and nourish your hair.

Using a hair wash must be a part of your hair care routine once in a while to protect your hair and make it healthy. You can easily make simple hair washes sitting back at home using natural ingredients.

Today, let us see how can we prepare them and how we can use them for attaining a healthy-looking mane. Read on!
