But did you know that coffee can also be used for your hair? This International Coffee Day, observed on October 1 every year, we have a special hair mask that will not only help increase the blood circulation in the scalp but also do away with dull hair issues.
Dermatologist Dr Niketa Sonavane recently suggested this easy hair mask using coffee grounds.
