A Ripe Papaya and Curd Hair Mask
A spoon of mashed ripe papaya mixed with curd, left on the lengths for twenty minutes and rinsed. A soft conditioning mask; patch test first.
A fruit conditioner
Ripe papaya mashes into a soft pulp, and curd adds creaminess. Together they make a light conditioning mask that can leave dry hair feeling softer.
Mash the papaya very smooth so no pieces stay in the hair, apply to the lengths and leave for twenty minutes. This is a conditioning idea and not a treatment for hair fall or dandruff.
