Well, I've been searching for masks and treatments for dull hair! I knew that pure olive oil is moisturizing but i was afraid to try it because my hair tend to get oily pretty fast. I also knew that this amazing fruit, banana, has moisturizing, nourishing, soothing, softening properties and it is used for all kinds of beauty masks. And so i though, why not combine both?
First, you mash the banana till it's creamy. Then you add the olive oil and you blend till the mixture looks like this :
As you can see, my hair is pretty dull and in poor condition ( yeah i need a haircut).
So, made the hair mask as such :
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 banana
( This dosage was just fine for my hair length)
With your hands you spread the mixture on your hair starting four fingers under your roots. Make sure that your hair, especially the tips, are dampened like this :
Wrap your hair with a towel and stay for 1 to 2 hours.
Then rinse your hair very carefully to remove all the mixture and perhaps banana pieces.
I washed my hair with shampoo 2 times to be sure. For better results, you can use your conditioner ( i didn't because i had run out ).
( I really need a haircut :P )
You can see the difference, shine and smooth!Αnd i haven't even straighten them. Plus they have this amazing banana-ish redolence :)
I use this mask once a week and i've seen great results. And for you who have oily hair and are afraid, DO NOT BE. It doesn't get them oily as i first believed.
I also do this, twice a week i soak my tips in olive oil and leave it for 1 hour. It really makes a difference. Your hair get stronger, shinier and harder to split ends.
So, would you try it? And if you have, what are your impressions?
Thank you for reading!
