Ingredients
- A medium-sized carrot
- A ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons creamy yoghurt
- Few drops of olive oil
- Two teaspoons of honey (optional)
Method
- Chop the carrot into tiny cubes and boil it until it softens.
- Chop the bananas.

Usage Directions
- Comb the hair gently and ensure there are no tangles.
- Start applying the mask by starting from the scalp area. Cover the scalp generously with the hair mask.
- Cover the hair with a clean shower cap and leave it on for at least 45 minutes. For best results, let it sit on the hair for 2 hours.
- Rinse the hair with water. Use a mild shampoo if required. Ensure the hair does not have any mask residue left behind. You will not need a conditioner.
- Blow dry (if required) your hair for magically soft and lustrous hair.
- After the wash, the hair can get super-tangled and it may take some time to get rid of them. Once done, you can expect super shiny, bouncier and clarified hair.
Two More Simple Recipes:
Here two more simple recipes you can try while you have your hands on the carrot and banana!
Carrot Hair Detox
The recipe is simple and wonderful.
- Take a medium-sized carrot and grate it into small pieces.
- Rub the grated carrot on the hair and let is stay there for 15 minutes.
