Rain ruining your hair? Try these 5 easy DIY masks for soft, frizz-free hair

The rainy season brings relief from the heat. Unfortunately, it also poses challenges for our hair. The humidity in the air makes our hair dry, frizzy and lifeless. This is even more severe for those who already have dry or frizzy hair. Plus, rainwater, dirt and pollution almost always make your hair look worse.

We don’t have to rely on expensive salon treatments. Our solution is as easy as our kitchen! With simple natural ingredients (and a little curd), you can prepare effective DIY hair masks with bananas, honey, yogurt, aloe vera and coconut oil, or whatever ingredients you have available. These hair masks will moisturise, soften and nourish your hair. Also, they will control dryness and add softness and shine to the hair, making it perfect for monsoon hair care.

So here are 5 easy DIY hair masks that you can prepare for healthy and manageable hair this season:

1. Banana and Honey Hair Mask

How to make:

• Mash 1 ripe banana
• Add 1 tbsp honey

2. Yogurt and Olive Oil Hair Mask

How to make:

• Take half a cup of fresh yogurt
