When it comes to keeping fit and healthy, bananas are the power fruit. But did you know that bananas also help strengthen your hair and smoothen its texture? Here’s how…
If you have dry and damaged hair, a banana mask will work as a conditioner to help you increase the moisture content in your hair. All you really have to do is make a banana pulp and add about 3 drops of almond oil to it. Massage on your hair, leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse off.
Split ends
Bananas contain various vitamins and nutrients. Hence, they help strengthen brittle hair and improve the natural elasticity of hair. This is why they help treat split ends. Just mix banana pulp with yogurt and leave it in your hair for 20 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water.
Treats scalp conditions
Bananas contain magnesium, which has the power to fight inflammations. This means they can treat scalp conditions like dandruff, itchy scalp, etc. This is when a banana hair pack or hair mask comes to your rescue.

I have this superpower of buying everything and anything related to cats because I strongly believe that cats are greater than human beings. Amidst all of these thoughts, I take time out to write about food, fitness and beauty - something that makes my job so much fun!
