The most common complaint I hear nowadays is dry, frizzy and damaged hair! This is extremely common because we girls absolutely love our heat styling tools and products. Excessive heat styling and using excessive products can cause product buildup and also damage the protein layer on our hair making it frizzy and dry. If you have gone over board with your hair styling sessions and want a refreshment for your hair or want to add the moisture back to your hair, you are at the right place! Below are my top favorite 10 conditioning hair masks for dry, frizzy and damaged hair –
