Make this banana and flaxseed hair mask to keep your hair frizz-free this monsoon

The rainy season is here and while we rejoice about the pleasant weather, one needs to acknowledge how harsh the season can be for our hair. In spite of using the best shampoo or oiling your hair regularly, the monsoon can end up causing various hair troubles. This is because the season is characterised by a high-humidity level which causes the hair cuticles to become dry and hence, you experience frizziness.

Now, we all know how much we dread frizzy hair during the monsoon season! At times, it seems like it is impossible to avoid the frizz but the trick is to keep your hair well-moisturised. You have to include certain ingredients in your hair care routine to nourish your tresses and keep them hydrated. Two ingredients that can do this job for you are banana and flaxseed.

Make a hair mask using banana and flaxseed to deeply moisturise your hair this monsoon and keep the frizz at bay. Banana contains natural oils and flaxseed contains vitamin E, ensuring that your dry hair gets the hydrating nourishment it needs.
