DIY Banana Hair Mask

I’m a huge fan of DIY projects and not all of them should be particularly beauty related (and yes, it’s a hint on my next DIY). This one is hair-care related. Have an old banana hanging around? Why not use it with benefits? 

Since banana contains potassium which is perfect for ‘fixing’ thin and damaged hair. Another pro of this mask – it’s incredibly ease to make. 

What will you need: banana (the mushier the better), 1 tea spoon of honey, blender (yes, and be sure it’s the only tool to mix the banana), either shower cap to plastic wrap/bag and a towel to keep warmth. 

Again I want to draw your attention that it should be blender. Cause you should make sure you liquify the mixture, cause you don’t need any clumps when you will rinse the mask. It’s going to be pain in the a$$, trust me, I’ve been there. I thought it’s possible to mash the banana with a folk – not an option!

Apply the mixture to the hair, wrap you hair up, put on a towel and stay relaxed for 15-20minutes, then shampoo and condition as usual. 

I was really impressed with the results, my hair did appear thicker and nourished. I’m sure I will continue this ritual twice a month alternating it with Natura Siberica one, which I reviewed here. 

Will you give this DIY a go? Do you have any DIY masks that work?

Natura Siberica Sea-buckthorn Hair Mask

Natura Siberica is a Russian brand which claims to be organic and uses organic products found in Siberia’s ecologically clean region. It’s an organic brand, the products contains natural oils, essential oils, flower and tree extracts.

I’m currently using the shampoo and conditioner from this brans as well, but will talk about those bits later – today is the mask’s day.

Firstly let’s talk about my hair condition. My hair is a bit frizzy and curly and sometimes I have to straight the front part, so my hair is on the drier side, and I have some splitter ends. So the treatment I usually go for is nourishing shampoos, extra-moisturing conditioners, oils, hydrating masks.  So when I’ve spotted this new release I did’t doubt a minute, paid the check and tried it the same evening.

This mask promises to make your hair silky smooth and hydrated and yes, it does it all. It really nourishes the hair, acts as a de-tangler – you don’t put any effort brushing you hair and it leaves your hair softer and shinier. I’ve also noticed that more manageable.

It should be applied after the shampooing the hair for 5-10 minutes. Sometimes I put it for more (smth like 30min) and them you rinse it off with a water and here you have it – new hair. The texture is pretty thick, but it spreads easily and evenly over all length.

This is a new range from the brand, so it’s not widely sold online, especially this mask. Other products from this range oils, serums can be bought (which I’m planning to try next) on Amazon. If you’re interested in this mask, try to watch the item – I’m sure it should pop-up soon.

Do you have some interesting hair mask I should try?
