Homemade Banana/Coconut Milk Masque

Given my recent battle with breakage I was reviewing my hits and miss list and it just occurred to me that I didn't post my Homemade Banana/Coconut Milk Masque recipe. Natural recipes , such as my avocado masque recipe are not something I use anymore for the following reasons, but I found this banana mask made my hair extremely soft and moisturized. Since I will not be using it for the purpose of infusing protein in my hair, I will be adding it to my regimen to bump up the moisture level of my hair. When you read my results, you'll understand why.

1 banana

1/4 C Aloe Vera juice (add more if consistency is too thick)

1/4 C Coconut Milk

1 tsp each of Avocado oil and Castor oil

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. The masque was thick, smooth and silky and smelled like a banana smoothie. If you changed the oils to flaxseed you could definitely drink it--but I digress. When I use it, I will apply the masque to freshly washed, towel dry hair, from root to tip, covered with a plastic cap and let it sit in my hair for 2 hours---without heat. If you apply heat, you'll regret it. Trust me. After I rinsed I out, my hair felt incredibly soft, it detangled beautifully, felt silky and there was absolutely no hair loss. The softness even lasted while styling, which I never feel with my other conditioners. When you compare the price for commercial conditioners (less than $1.50 per batch vs $3.50-$4 per use) and the fact that this is 100%, it's hands down the best alternative imo.

If you give it a try, let me know how you like it.
