Banana mask - recipe

Here you will find a very simple recipe for making a banana hair mask from just two ingredients!

It is very important that you mash the peeled banana as well as possible so that you do not have stray pieces of banana in your hair later. You can mash a banana with a fork, but you will get the best result if you blend it with a little water. The amount of bananas you use for the mask depends on the length of your hair. If you have shorter hair, use one banana, and for people with longer hair, it is recommended to use two.

Banana and avocado mask

Avocado is rich in various nutrients, so this banana and avocado mask is extremely nourishing. It is suitable for all hair types, but it is mostly recommended for people with brittle and damaged hair.

Ingredients:

• 1 - 2 bananas
• 1 ripe avocado

Preparation:

1. To prepare the mask, you must first peel and mash the banana.
2. Then open the avocado, remove the stone, remove the "flesh" from the avocado and mash it.
3. Mix banana and avocado well, then apply evenly on hair.
4. Rinse your hair with lukewarm water after 20-30 minutes. 

For additional benefits, you can add one tablespoon of olive oil to this mask.
