Do you know the price you are paying for chemically treated and coloured hair? No, we are not asking for the monetary value but the effect these treatments have on your hair. Excessive chemical dyeing or hair colouring leaves the hair dry, lifeless and frizzy. Premature greying is also one of the signs of such treatments. But if you have coloured or treated hair and are looking for ways to rejuvenate it, this hair mask by Dr Nirmala Shetty, featured in her book 'Beauty at your fingertips', is the perfect remedy. You can also ditch the chemical dyes and try these natural hair colours.
