Your hair can get dry for a host of reasons. Maybe your scalp isn't oily enough or you use heat styling tools way too often. Chemical treatment and air pollution can also cause your hair to become dry. Dull hair can get frizzy and be hard to manage. And shampoo and conditioner can only do so much for you. This is when it becomes important to opt for things that actually work for you long-term like natural ingredients. Not only are they easy on the pocket, but they also assure minimal side effects, unlike chemical-based products. So, if you're looking to smoothen out those dry tresses, here are some natural remedies that will come to your rescue.

Honey is a natural humectant which means it can bind moisture to your hair strands. Now, that's interesting, isn't it?
