Go Bananas!

Most of us that take care of our own hair, spend a lot of time and money on products that promise us to strengthen our hair, make it grow, and give it that beautiful shine. I was one of those women. I have found something that has repaired my hair in one use, enhance my natural hair color, and gave me incredible shine. For a week after I did this treatment, people even my own mother thought I was wearing extensions! Thats how good my hair looks and feels. What am I talking about? BANANAS!

How to create a Banana Hair Mask

    Most hair products with banana in it are only sold at expensive spas. Well here is how to make your own.  I will be doing this treatment once a week. I love this mask so much I refuse to spend a penny on a beauty supply product that claims to do the list above.









You will need:
1 banana
Mayo
and Olive Oil or any oil of your choice.
For intense conditioning add honey, and for intense repair and shine add 1/2 an avocado.


How to make:
Take 1/2 a banana and mash it in a bowl with a spoon. If you have really long hair use the whole banana.
Add two scoops of Mayo and add to the bowl, stir well.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of extra virgin Olive Oil mix well ( I use a cake mixer)

If you would like extra moisture add 1 tablespoon of 100% natural Honey to your mixture.
Need extra repair and strength, add 1/2 an Avocado.



Once mixed well, apply to the hair in sections focusing on the hair shaft and ends. Don't worry to much about getting you root. NOTE: If you leave big chunks in the mixture it will be harder to wash the banana out.


After you applied your hair mask cover your head with a plastic cap or bag and let it set for an hour or two.
Rinse your hair well. Then shampoo and condition as normal. And enjoy your new revived hair!
