Just as your skin needs moisturizing, your hair needs it too! Hair is naturally moisturized from time to time thanks to sebaceous glands that coat your hair with natural oil called sebum. Excess secretion makes your hair oily and less secretion makes your hair dry. If you have naturally dry hair, you need to keep your hair moisturized with topical hair oils and butters. Ever heard of hair lotion? Hair lotion is thinner than hair butters and below is a recipe you could try to keep your dry hair moisturized-
BENEFITS:
Olive oil- Moisturizes hair, keeps it soft and repairs chemical damage.

RECIPE FOR HAIR LOTION:
