We often tend to forget that hair care is as important as skincare. Our locks need natural oils to appear smooth and silky. Due to our changing lifestyle choices, which lean more towards unhealthy habits and environmental factors such as pollution, our hair loses its natural shine.

Here are 5 home remedies to turn your hair soft and smooth:
Aloe vera gel spray: Aloe vera hydrates hair follicles thoroughly. With this spray, your hair will remain conditioned all day long, improving the texture and reducing the frizz.
Ingredients:
1 aloe vera leaf
Water
Procedure:
v    Extract the gel from the aloe vera leaf without the yellow portion.
v    After blending the gel well, add some water into the mixture to make a light-smooth liquid.
v    Transfer this solution into the spray bottle and spray it on your hair after shaking well.
v    For best results, spray on dry hair after a wash, about 3 to 4 times a week.
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) wash: Apple Cider Vinegar helps to balance the pH level of the scalp, which in turn enables hair to remain smooth and silky! It cleanses your hair thoroughly too.

Ingredients: 
½ tbsp of ACV
1 cup of cold water

Procedure: 
v    Mix a portion of ACV with two portions of water and keep it aside.
v    After shampooing and conditioning your hair like you usually do, wash your hair with the ACV solution.
v    Leave the solution on your locks for about 15 minutes. Let your hair air dry after.
A quick banana hair mask: Banana consists of natural oils, carbohydrates, and other vitamins that improve the shine, softness, and elasticity of your hair. Along with moisturizing the hair, it helps you to steer clear of dandruff too.

Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
2 drops of lavender essential oil

Procedure: 
v    All you need to do is mash a ripe banana in a bowl and add two drops of lavender essential oil to the paste. Mix well.
v    Apply the paste to your hair and scalp well. Work it through every strand patiently.
v    Wash off after 20 to 30 minutes and apply some conditioner after.
A coffee cleanse: Coffee deeply moisturizes the scalp, smoothens, and adds incredible shine to your hair strands.

Ingredients:
2-3 cups of cold-brewed coffee (Depending on the length of your hair you can increase the amount)
Spray bottle
Procedure:
v    Pour the completely cold-brewed coffee into a spray bottle.
v    Wash and condition your hair. While your hair is still wet, spray the brewed coffee all over your hair.
v    Gently massage the scalp with cold-brewed coffee.
v    Let it sit for 15 minutes and wash off.
v    You can mix the coffee solution with your go-to conditioner too.
v    You can coffee cleanse your hair once every week for the best results.
A honey and olive oil magic: Honey sufficiently hydrates hair and seals moisture in hair cuticles, building a smooth, silky, and shiny texture. Olive oil moisturize and strengthen hair strands intensely.

Ingredients:
4 tbsp of honey
1 tbsp of olive oil

Procedure:
v    Add honey and olive oil to a bowl. Mix the two ingredients well and apply the mixture to your dry hair.
v    Let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes and wash it off with water and a regular shampoo.
v    Repeat this twice every week for the best results.
