Banana Smoothie Hair Mask
Friday, January 14th, 2011
Ingredients:
. 1 banana
. 1 egg
. 3 tbsp of honey
. 3 tbsp of whole milk
. 5 tbsp of olive oil
PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS NOT A RECIPE FOR EATING!
Method:
1. Mash the banana and add in the egg, honey, milk and olive oil.
2. Mix them well and apply to your hair. Leave it on for 15 – 30 minutes.
3. Wrap hair with a plastic wrap or shower cap. As we lose most heat through our heads the plastic cap will trap your body heat inside, which will open the cuticle of the hair and allow the oil and other ingredients to penetrate the hair even more deeply.
4. When the time is up wash out the mask with a gentle clarifying shampoo to remove any residue. Keep the water at a very lukewarm temperature at first until you get rid of most of the mixture – the last thing you want to do is cook the egg in your hair! Turn up the heat then to remove the oil.
5. When you’re finished, add some extra shine to hair with a blast of cold water when you’ve finished rinsing it out – this will reseal the cuticle and really make your hair look smooth and shiny.
What results should we see from this?
As soon as hair is dry, you should see a new healthiness and shine!
How often should you do it?
Whenever your hair needs a little pick me up. But since all the ingredients are organic, it can be done as often as desired.
Anything to watch out for?
Once prepared, these homemade beauty treats must be used straight away. Since all the ingredients are natural food products, they will go bad if left too long.
