Banana Hair Masque: Rescue your Hair and a Banana
Hair can take a real beating during summer. Sun, chlorine, salt water, and activity all take their toll. But there’s an easy answer. If you’ve got 3o minutes, we can give you a shine!
One of the greatest ingredients for conditioning your hair can be found in your kitchen — bananas! That is right. Using a banana as a hair masque will leave your hair shiny and moisturized. Here a few easy recipes you can try out in your home spa.
Here are three super easy masques for all hair types.
Banana Hair Masque for Shine
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tbsp your organic mayonnaise
- 6-10 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil
Banana Hair Masque with Lavender
- 1 ripe banana mashed
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt
- 6-10 drops Lavender Essential Oil
Deep Conditioning Banana Hair Masque with Rosemary
- 1 ripe banana mashed
- 2 tbsp your favorite hair conditioner
- 6-10 drops Rosemary Essential Oil
Directions:
For all of the above recipes mash or blend banana thoroughly, add the second ingredient, mix thoroughly, and add the Essential Oil drops. There’s no need to wait for the product to set; just mash, mix and apply. Apply to hair from roots to ends, leave on for up to 30 minutes. These masques are messy, so we recommend wearing a plastic cap or covering your hair with plastic wrap. Read a good book, catch up on your videos or sit back and enjoy a cup of tea. When you’re ready, rise and wash thoroughly.
