Homemade honey mask to moisturize dry hair

To moisturize your dry hair, it's important to incorporate water-based ingredients into your homemade masks. Honey is a humectant ingredient that attracts water, helping dry hair retain its moisture.

What's more, honey adds shine and even lighten your hair naturally, thanks to the hydrogen peroxide it contains!

You'll be amazed at how non-sticky the honey feels when applied to your hair. Leave it in for at least 30 minutes, then proceed with your usual washing routine. The result: soft, lightweight hair that's easy to detangle!
