During the summer months it is common for hair to appear dry and brittle. The chlorine of the swimming pool , the salty water of the sea, the sun and the more frequent washing can in fact put a strain on the hair and make it drier. 

When the hair is dry it becomes more fragile , tends to break more easily and split ends often form: all this contributes to worsening the appearance of the hair, which will lose its shine and softness

Before resorting to scissors we can try to remedy the situation through compresses for damaged hair, to be prepared with natural ingredients. So let’s see three DIY recipes to prepare packs for damaged hair.
