Preparation of banana hair mask : 

While preparing banana hair mask at home remember the more your hair is damaged and chemically withered, the longer you will have to keep the mask on head.

In a bowl mix all the ingredients, and beat it up in to a smooth smoothie mixture, will look yummy, but don’t start to sip it up LOL.

Next part hair with a big toothed shampoo comb and use this mixture on the head with fingers and then smoothen out to the strands. Coat the strands of hairs.

Then use a plastic cap so that it doesn’t drip and fall all around your face.

Keep it on for at least 15 minutes, and longer as I already mentioned, for more damaged hair but not exceeding 35-40 minutes.

Rinsing :

A proper rinsing is essential to lock in the new found moisture.

Since I already mentioned that banana is hard to get off from the hair, firstly bend your hair down and let the tap water run thoroughly through the hair and see how much is cleansed.

Next shampoo your hair, and again rinse in the same way under running tap water.

Take a shampoo comb and comb out your hair, and keep rinsing the comb so as to get flakes of banana out of the teeth of the comb.

Again rinse under running tap water. And now lastly take one mug full of water, mix 5 tbsp honey and mix it, and then do the last rinse with this. You can also use beer rinse or vinegar rinse (5tbspn) mixed in one mug of water.

Do not abrasively towel dry, press gently and towel dry your hair.
