Common Mistakes When Using DIY Hair Masks
Even natural remedies need the right technique. Avoid these slip-ups:
- Overuse: More isn’t better. Too-frequent masks can lead to buildup.
- Wrong ingredients: Not every oil suits every hair type. (Example: Castor oil is too heavy for fine hair.)
- Skipping patch test: Essential if using essential oils or honey.
- Applying to dirty hair: Dirt and oils block nutrient absorption.
