Prep Time 5 minutes
Leave in for 30 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Makes 1 treatment

Equipment

  • 1 hand-held blender optional but recommended

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small banana ripe but not overripe
  • ½ small avocado ripe but not overripe
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, or other oil, for more nourishment
  • 1 drop essential oil optional, see notes

Instructions
 

How to Make

  • Put the avocado and banana into a bowl and mash with a fork, or ideally, blend it with a stick blender for a smoother result.
  • Mix in oil and essential oil, if you like.

How to Use

  • Start with the hair roots. Spread the avocado banana hair mask, part for part, over your whole head.
  • Then, move down from the hair shafts to the ends.
  • Gently massage your scalp with your fingertips and go down all the way to the ends of your hair.
  • Leave your hair mask in for about 30 minutes. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo.

Notes

  • Essential oils: lavender (soothing/hair growth), rosemary (hair growth) or chamomile (soothing). You need to dilute it with a carrier oil (I recommend 2 teaspoons, if not using any other oil). Unless you’re using lavender. It's a gentle oil that doesn’t need to be diluted (unless you’re very sensitive).
  • Blender: I actually recommend blending your hair mask, if you can. Just because little chunks can get tangled up in your hair and are very hard to wash out. So, just a tip—from my own experience!
  • My Tip: To prevent my hair to dry out during those 30 minutes, I just spray it with water to keep it damp.
  • Storage: This avocado banana hair mask keeps in the fridge for about 1 week. You can also freeze it (I recommend in batches) for up to 3 months!!
  • Face Mask: If you have some leftovers, use them on your face!! This hair mask is also a great hydrating & rejuvenating face mask (I've got a recipe on my blog)!
