By Contributor: Naela
Hello ladies today I am going to talk about a hair mask for your hair which will cause an end to your hair troubles. The texture of my hair is fine, they are not thick because I have pin straight hair. But each strand of my hair is thin so my hair lacks volume. I wanted to get some layers in my hair to add some bounce but my hair stylist said they would look even thinner due to it. So that day I decided to improve the condition of my hair and my mom came to my rescue. She suggested me the age old henna and egg mixture recipe. I also use shikakai, methi and curd to make this henna hair pack at home. I will step by step show you the tutorial and ingredients so you can easily DIY it in your kitchen using natural and chemical free products.
