Banana, honey and yogurt hair mask
Bananas are rich in vitamins, potassium and carbohydrates, which work together to help to eliminate frizz. Yogurt has high levels of lactic acid which is excellent for combating dullness, and honey adds moisture and hydration to dry hair.
Ingredients:
- One mashed banana
- Two tablespoons of yogurt
- One tablespoon of honey
Mix all the ingredients and blend. Apply on damp hair, from roots until the ends and cover it with a shower cap. Leave it for 30 minutes and then wash it as usual.

Jojoba and coconut oil blend
Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, a fatty acid that penetrates the hair cuticle and strengthens hair. Just like coconut, jojoba oil is extremely moisturizing, prevents breakage, and even helps with dandruff treatment.
Ingredients:
- One tablespoon of extra virgin coconut
- One tablespoon of jojoba oil
Warm the mix in the microwave for 30 seconds. Check if the temperature is safe to be applied on hair and if so, spread the oils all over the strands and leave it for 20 minutes. Then, shampoo it as usual.
