Nourishing Banana Honey Hair Mask



Recipe #7 in the "10 minute a day - DIY - Because I Deserve it - Spa Week"

We're getting towards the end of the week and it's time to give our hair a bit of a treat.  This mask will deeply condition and nourish your hair, leaving it smooth and shiny from root to tip.

Nourishing Banana Honey Hair Mask

1 Banana
3 Tbsp Honey
5 Tbsp Olive oil
1 Egg
3 Tbsp milk

You'll also need:

2 small bowls (1 microwave safe)
a shower cap/ glad wrap or plastic bag
a bath towel


  • Mash the banana until there are no more lumps.
  • Warm the honey in the microwave to soften it a little an stir it into the banana with the other ingredients.
  • Apply to damp hair starting at the tips and working up to the roots.  Comb through to distribute evenly.
  • Put a shower cap on or wrap your hair in the plastic bag or glad wrap
  • Put the towel in microwave to warm it up (be careful it doesn't get so hot it will burn!) and wrap it round your head.  The warmth will help your hair absorb more of the nutrients.
  • Leave it on for 10 - 20 minutes, then shampoo as normal.  You will probably need to wash you hair twice.  There's no need to condition afterwards, but if you want to that's up to you.
  • Smile and admire your silky soft, shiny locks.
