Strengthening Banana Hair Mask
1/2 banana
1 egg
1 tablespoon unrefined virgin coconut oil
1/2 tablespoon honey
Bananas are some serious multitaskers not only when it comes to health (gotta love that potassium) but in the beauty department, too. Banana contains pantothenic acid, which strengthens the hair. The wonderfully humectant honey draws moisture to the hair, and the egg’s protein reinforces your follicles. This mask is great for those of you wanting to grow your hair and prevent it from breaking!
Mash the banana until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the egg until frothy. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and stir until thoroughly blended. Shampoo, and then apply to scalp and hair. Leave on for no longer than 20 minutes (egg tends to be drying to the hair if left on too long). Rinse thoroughly, and condition.
