Don’t forget to use conditioner after every wash. Also, use a restorative mask containing keratin or argan oil twice a week.
Coconut, castor, and olive oils are among the best choices for revitalizing your hair. Warm up a small amount of oil, apply it to the hair strands, and wash it out with a mild shampoo after 30 minutes.
