• 1 Bowl Smashed Ripe Banana
• 1 Tbsp. Molasses

Process of application:

• Blend all the ingredients thoroughly. Make sure that no chunk escapes the blending process. We would advise on using a blender or mixer grinder, than just mashing with hands.
• Rinse you hair under running water and pat dry with towel. Apply the above mixture on your damp hair.

• Wear a plastic or shower cap so that the mask doesn’t run down your head and create a mess.
• Continue doing your regular chores while the mask stands on your hair for at least 30 minutes.
• Dip a towel in warm water and wring out the water. Now remove the shower cap and warp the warm towel on your head. The heat generated from this towel will open up the pores of your hair to absorb nutrients. Leave it like that for another half an hour.
• Now wash your hair thoroughly under running water. You need to wash it for a longer time to make sure all the pulps of the fruit have been washed off. Else it will look pretty awful.
• The ingredients of the hair mask we prepared are sufficient to give you super smooth hair. However, you may opt to use your regular conditioner once you wash the hair off the mask.
