Banana Hair Mask Recipe
From “Neal’s Yard Beauty Book“
Ingredients:
- 1 medium-sized ripe banana
- 1 ripe avocado
- 3 tbsp coconut milk
Directions:
- Using a fork, mash the soft banana and avocado in a bowl.
- Add the coconut milk and mix well to make a paste. If you have very dry or damaged hair, you could leave out the avocado and replace the coconut milk with 1 tablespoon almond, coconut, or olive oil.
- Use immediately as the mask contains fresh ingredients.
- Massage into dry hair and leave for 15 minutes. For optimal effect, wrap the hair in a towel, preferably warm, and leave for 15 minutes.
- Rinse the paste from the hair with warm water and wash as usual.
