Causes of Dry and Dull Hair:
There are several reasons for dry and dull hair like deficiency of vitamins, unhealthy eating habits, lack of nutrition, lack of moisture, not drinking enough water, washing hair with hot water, blow drying, coloring, etc. Chemically treated hair tends to become dry and dull over a period of time. Exposure to very hot or very cold weather can make hair dry and dull. Not taking proper care of hair using the wrong hair products can also lead to hair drying and dulling. Pollution, stress, exposure to the sun, ultraviolet rays, air conditioners can also make hair dull and dry.Benefits of Banana Hair Mask:
Banana is loaded with moisture and can provide ample hydration to your hair. It is rich in potassium, antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, and protein, which can nourish and restore your hair back to health. A banana hair mask helps to deep condition hair and hydrate each and every strand. It makes hair soft, silky, and shiny. It also aids hair growth. It helps to tame frizzy hair. Reduces split ends, adding elasticity and manageability. Helps get rid of dandruff and scalp dryness. The banana hair mask is incredibly moisturizing and one of the best remedies for dry and dull hair!Ingredients Required To Prepare Banana Hair Mask:
One ripe banana ( You can use two ripe bananas if you have long hair) One tablespoon olive oil ( I have used extra virgin olive oil) One tablespoon almond oil ( I have used Forest Essentials cold-pressed organic virgin almond oil) One tablespoon honey (I have used organic honey from Kottakal Ayurveda) Two tablespoons full-fat milk (You can use one tablespoon cream or two tablespoons fresh coconut milk instead of full-fat milk. I have used full fat but toned milk). One full egg (I have used farm egg) Please note that the above measurements are for a shoulder to mid-length hair, however, if you have long hair, you can use two ripe bananas and accordingly increase the quantity of one tablespoon honey and almond or olive oil to two tablespoons. My hair is shoulder length and this mask is more than enough for me. If you want to make the consistency of the mask a bit thicker, add cream instead of milk or just add one tablespoon of milk. I have also shown the tablespoon I have used in my pictures.How To Prepare Banana Hair Mask:
Step 1: Assemble all the ingredients required, so that you do not miss out on anything. Step 2: In a bowl or a soup plate, take one ripe banana and slice it into small pieces. Then using a fork, mash the banana nicely to make a purée. Step 3: To this banana purée, add one egg white and yolk, add one tablespoon honey, one tablespoon olive oil, one tablespoon almond oil, two tablespoons spoons full-fat milk.
Step 4: Blend all the ingredients nicely and make sure no chunks are left. Your hair mask is ready to apply.
