How to Make Hair Conditioner With Bananas
Bananas are great for your hair and scalp. They improve manageability and shine while moisturizing your skin and helping to prevent and control dandruff. However, most off-the-shelf banana hair products are available only at high end salons or as expensive treatments in spas. You can make your own banana hair conditioner for less than 5 dollars and in under 10 minutes in your own kitchen. In this article, we will discuss how to make hair conditioner with bananas.

Instructions
Things You'll Need
- 2 bananas
- 1/2 cup of honey
- Fork
- Small mixing bowl
- Electric mixer
- Clean shampoo bottle with a squirt top.

1
Peel the bananas. You can save the skins for other beauty treatments or discard them at this time.
-
2
Mash the bananas in the mixing bowl. Use the fork to squish the fruit. Reduce them to a lumpy pulp, but do not worry at this time about making the mixture smooth.
-
3
Mix in the honey. The beaters on the mixer will help pulverize the banana further. You should end up with a slick, light brown "batter."

4
Pour the conditioner into the squirt-top shampoo bottle. You will only need to use a very small amount of conditioner each time you condition your hair.

Tips & Warnings
This conditioner is mainly good for your scalp and roots, so be sure to work it into your hair thoroughly before rinsing.
If you wish, you can add a drop or two of essential oils to make your hair smell like something other than banana pudding.

Jean, I'm 100% natural, so it works for me by just rinsing it out. My mixture has oils in it, so it makes for rinsing out easy. If it doesn't have oils in it, and if you're not natural, you will probably do well to rinse with a shampoo. I'd throw it away after 2 wks.

I just wash it out... love the smell.

I'd recommend putting it in the refrigerator and mixing the bananas with oils like coconut oil, jojoba oil, etc. That way it won't stick to the hair. To reduce tangling, comb through with fingers or wide tooth comb, and twist it in sections.
