Banana and Castor Oil Hair Mask

Items you will need:

● 2 medium-sized ripe bananas
● 1 tablespoon castor oil
● 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Gather your ingredients together and measure out the required
amounts of castor and coconut oils.
2. Wash and peel your medium-sized bananas.
3. Break the banana into rough bite-sized pieces.
4. Add the pieces to a mixing bowl. With a spoon or your fingers,
mash the flesh into a pulp. It’s okay if you don’t have
a pulp with a smooth texture - mush your banana as much
as you can.
5. Warm up your castor and coconut oils separately.
6. Add the oils to the mix, one by one and to this mix and continue to
blend till you have a thoroughly mixed mask.
7. If the mask is too thick, you can add a tablespoon or two of water
to dilute it and make it easier to apply.
8. Use a brush, spoon or even your fingers to apply this resulting
mask to your hair.
9. Apply evenly and ensure that you cover all sections of your scalp
thoroughly.
10. Cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic bag and allow the
mask to work its wonders for about fifteen to thirty minutes.
11. Then, rinse off with lots of water and an optional sulfate-free
shampoo.
12. Apply this treatment to your hair about three to four times a
month for damage-resistant hair that is healthy and shiny.
