Homemade hair masks

I have used the banana hair mask multiple times without any problems. I assume that the people who have experiences issues with this one probably did not have a food processor to puree the banana and probably rinsed their hair in hot/warm water. There is egg in this recipe... you MUST rinse with cold water or you cook the egg into your hair. If you have “banana” chunks in your hair that you cannot wash out... it is more likely to be egg; and that is a mess! The directions don’t warn you of this but always use cool water to rinse.

The banana hair mask was horrible. My hair is thin and dried out and my friends is thick and colored. WE both used the hair mask and it made hair worse. My hair has been a tangled mess for two days and we are still picking out banana clumps. It is extra hard to get out of your hair, even after two washes. Wouldn't be so bad if it actually hydrated your hair but it doesn't even do that. Would not do again!

I want to try the yogurt hair mask but one of the comment states it will leave your hair smelling putrid..is that true?

I have very thick, dry, coarse, wavy hair. I used the banana avocado mask and it worked wonders. However - most of the criticisms I've seen are true - it is very difficult to detangle the banana chunks and it does take a long time to wash out. But I found that the next day and for several weeks afterward, my hair was a texture it hadn't been since I was six years old. It also seems to somehow restore the moisture balance of the scalp and hair - my hair feels more moisturized but my scalp feels less oily. So my hair looks better than it did before, and it looks that way longer before I have to shampoo it again. Some tips to make it easier: -My hair is very thick and medium-long. I found doubling the recipe made it easier to apply and work through the hair. -let the avocados, bananas, and eggs reach room temperature before making the mask. working cold avocado into your hair is not fun. -blend the banana and avocado chunks as much as possible. The stringy part of the banana is mostly what gets stuck in the hair. try to make sure that's gone before you apply it. - A couple hours after washing out the mask, I took a blow dryer to it and dried it the rest of the way. Up until this point it was hard to tell if the mask had made my hair better or worse. My hair felt stiff while it was wet and clumped together. After drying it, it was a whole new head of hair. And a few weeks and several shampoos later, it's still soft and wonderful.

I used a combo of recommended ingredients I had to hand 1 Banana 3 tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 tbs Manuka Honey 1 Egg 2 tbs Mayo I used and hand processor to puree the ingredients together until they formed a perfectly smooth mixture, with absolutely no lumps. The mixture wasn't too liquid, but was a little drippy on application. I applied mine over my bathroom basin with a towel round my shoulders and applied the mixture to sectioned peices of my hair. This ensured even and complete coverage. I then secured the sections of hair with clips and covered my hair with a small plastic bag. I left this on for about 30 - 45 mins then rinsed with plain water, whilst rubbing my hair gently before applying shampoo (my hair required 2 shampoos to completely remove all traces of the mixture) and conditioner. This is an excellent hair mask and with the exception of a couple of extra ingredients is similar to the Lush hair mask, H'Suan Wen Hua, which costs £8.50 for a 225g pot. And for what I estimate is just over a quid I made the same amount of a hair mask with vitually the same ingredients and none of the preservatives.

DO NOT TRY THE AVOCADO BANANA HAIR MASK! I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE PREVIOUS REVIEWS MORE SERIOUSLY! THE BANANA IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO RINSE OUT. I HAVE DONE MORE DAMAGE TO MY HAIR THAN GOOD BECAUSE OF THE OVER WASHING AND COMBING IN AN ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ALL OF THE BANANA PIECES OUT OF MY HAIR.

i am allergic to avocado if i dont use in hair mask? tell any other option plz? waiting

K so....Idk how my hair is going to look in the morning....but all I do know is that the mayo and yogurt mask leaves your hair smelling putrid!!!! Its a horrible smell.....If you can handle it, go ahead and try the mask...but if not, STAY AWAY!!

Im going to try the Yogurt one! Im so excited from what everyone has said! I'll let you know how it goes when I'm done

I like the idea of homemade hair masks, especially avocado.
