Banana Olive Oil Hair Mask for Damaged Hair
I love discovering and sharing DIY beauty tips, especially all-natural solutions that you can easily make at home.
Olive oil is not only a great conditioner, but also repairs damaged hair shafts. This banana olive oil hair mask will add shine, volume and silkiness to dull hair!
Is your hair damaged due to heat styling, sun exposure, harsh chemicals in shampoo, and swimming pools? Then you definitely need a deeply moisturizing hair treatment to naturally return the shine back to your hair, repair dull strands and split ends as well as nourish your hair with fresh nutrients. This banana olive oil hair mask is a simple, homemade remedy that is full of nutrients, as shown below.
How to Make a Banana and Olive Oil Hair Mask
It's simple really, you only need banana and olive oil to make this amazing hair mask for damaged locks. It's important to combine the ingredients thoroughly for best results. The banana should be blended into a smooth puree with no lumps. Use this hair mask once a week to restore damaged hair back to its former lustre. You can store excess hair mask for up to a week in the refrigerator, but if its starts smelling funky, throw it away.

Ingredients used in this hair mask
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions to prepare hair mask
- Get your ripe banana and extra virgin olive oil ready.
- Now into a blender, throw in your ripe banana (roughly chopped) and grind to a smooth, lump-free puree. This is crucial because you do not want to end up with lumps in your hair.
- Open up the blender and add your olive oil into the pureed banana. Give it another whirl in the blender. You will now have a really frothy and creamy hair mask that smells absolutely divine!
- Your banana olive oil hair mask is now ready for application! Get into the shower, wet your hair and use your fingers to apply the hair mask evenly through your hair strands and scalp as well. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse off thoroughly to reveal hydrated and conditioned, shiny hair!
You could add milk to make your hair mask more creamy, as milk is also a great conditioner. But this is totally optional.

i tried this on my dry, frizzy, bleach damaged hair and it definitely feels healthier! its considerably softer and less frizzy. the only downside was getting the banana out of my hair. i was still brushing out banana bits long afterwards lol i never wanna eat, smell, touch, or see another banana again.

Do I was with regular shampoo and conditioner after the mask? Or just wear the mask for 30 and then rinse?

I find that this mask is quite hard to wash out and I couldn't wash all of it out. There were still some bits of banana left in my hair. Do you have any tips to help wash it out better? I shampooed and conditioned thoroughly.

The Shielo Intensive Hair mask is great like @aestheticx said. I have really hard water and it seems to be the only one that works. My hair is soft again. Be careful of HARD WATER!

An attentiongrabbing dialogue is worth comment. I believe that you must write extra on this subject, it won't be a taboo topic but typically persons are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers geeddaegeaed
