Homemade Ingredients for Hair Mask

The in home banana moisturizing treatment is hands down the best most favorite of them all.

YOU WILL NEED;

  1. One ripe banana (or two if your hair is long and thick)
  2. I egg yolk
  3. 1 Tbsp honey
  4. 2 Tbsp olive oil (don’t add this if you have oily hair)

Mix and mash all the ingredients in a bowl, you may use a mixer if you like.  Be careful to make certain you use ripe banana’s because if not they remain lumpy and get stuck in your hair. But don’t let that stop you, form a routine of using over ripe bananas whenever left with a few overly ripe.

Note: Use banana's that are turning black, those you would not eat or may otherwise use for bread, save your waist and pamper your hair.  Treat bananas you would use to make bread like you would those for your hair, freeze any over ripe bananas, simply remove from the freezer, thaw and use. 

Apply this magical mask working it into and all over your hair/head, see full instructions below.

How to Apply Deep Conditioning Hair Mask

Learn to enjoy simple and Intense Banana Deep Hair Conditioning Mask Spa Treatments at Home

 

Pre-tuning the Hair - Applying Hair Mask

Always apply any hair mask to wet hair.

Massage the mask into your hair and down to the ends.

Cover hair with a shower cap for a minimum of 10 – 15 minutes.  

I leave it on my hair as long as I can, because you can’t get too much of a good thing when you have overly curly dry hair like mine.

You may also add heat by wrapping your head in a warm towel just out of the dryer.

I often go outside during the summer months to enjoy a bit of gardening or relax in the sun while I write.

DerdriuMarriner, You can use avocados bananas however are delightful and smell great but guess this is the very thing I imagine you hope to avoid.

DerdriuMarrinerApr 18, 2017

katiem2, Thank you for all the descriptions and product lines. The hair-drying system looks completely do-able, as does the mask ... except that I'm wondering: Is there something that can be substituted for bananas?

katiem2Jul 22, 2013

WriterArtist, I agree we don't need to turn to chemicals for any reason when nature offers everything we need.

WriterArtistJul 5, 2013

I am amazed how good a homemade banana mask can be - more importantly; it is free from the chemicals and preservatives. Looks simple and nourishing for all hair types.

This is perfect for a cold winters day. The winter winds are brutal on my hair. I have overly ripe bananas I was just considering tossing int he trash.

katiem2Jan 29, 2013

Jo, Dreadlocks tend to get dry and therefore are a great candidate for a moisturizing banana treatment. JUST be certain to use very ripe banana's blending it smooth. Your dreads will look and feel amazing. :)

Jill, My homemade banana hair treatment is wonderful. Glad you gave it a go. :)

JoHarringtonJan 28, 2013

This sounds gorgeous! I've got dreadlocks. I'm assuming it would be good for my hair too, which does tend towards dry.

JillJan 27, 2013

I love this recipe, its great. I've tried it and just had to come back letting you know it is amazing, smells wonderfully delicious and makes my hair soft bouncy and beautiful. Thanks

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I always look for new homemade (and inexpensive!) treatments for my skin and hair. Thais is really awesome - I HAVE TO share it!

2uesday, Exactly, plus this becomes a fast favorite as it really works making your hair smooth, shiny and soft. It's amazing. I was skeptical when I first tried, my daughters love concocting home treatments, but it is amazing. I modified my daughters recipe making it my own.
