DIY Homemade Hair Pack For Summer Season

Summer means all the sweat, grime, and pollution accumulating on the scalp leading to dandruff, hair fall and itching. Since I have dry hair, oiling twice a week is a mandatory procedure for me and I cannot skip that at all. But the scalp problems don't simply solve completely with hair oiling and instead, that sweats a hell lot. Therefore, I started applying this homemade hair pack especially in this hot and humid days of the year when I can't apply oil to the scalp. Since the pack has some oil absorbing ingredients, I don't apply it on the length to tip of the hair. I apply a concoction of coconut and olive oil to the length to tip of the hair and apply the pack on the scalp. Thus, it happily nourishes and enriches the scalp, taking away the scalp problems and also the body of the hair gets conditioned. Here's the recipe of the hair pack for summers. 

Ingredients Required: 

• Powdered Henna (You can easily buy from the market or make at home with dried mehendi leaves)
