Séverine Mathé, product development director of Fruits & Passion, suggests this simple at-home solution to add vitality and shine to dry or color-treated hair. She explains of the ingredients, "Sunflower oil contains fatty acids that seal in moisture, lime juice balances pH levels and the abundant potassium found in bananas promotes a healthy scalp."
The best part? The three readily available ingredients make this mask a year-round fix for frizz.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, peeled
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
- 1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Directions
- Mash banana into a paste with a fork or spoon. Add sunflower oil and lime juice. Mix well.
- Thirty minutes prior to your shower, massage the mixture into dry hair and scalp and comb through to distribute it evenly.
- After a half hour, wash out the mixture using a mild baby shampoo, rinse thoroughly, then revel in your hair's healthy sheen.
