Beauty Recipe: The Banana Milkshake Hair Mask (OMG It Gets Your Hair GORGEOUS--And It's Yummy Too!)

Keep drizzling coconut milk (or milk) in until the consistency is similar to your typical store-bought conditioner. I got distracted and made mine too watery, but it still worked (just caused more of a mess). Then add the honey if you want.

Step 3: Let your hair drink up the banana milkshake. Then feel free to drink any leftovers.

Apply your banana-coconut mix to dry hair in the shower or over the sink. {Sorry, no pics--I was all messy and could not figure out how to not ruin my camera. Maybe next time!} Use enough to saturate your scalp and hair, then put on a shower cap or towel and chill for 20 minutes. Crunchy Betty recommends leaving it on while you take a relaxing bath, to prevent possibly dripping banana milkshake all over your house. But if you have a small dog to follow you around and promptly clean up any sprinkles, as I do, that's really not a problem. I twisted my hair and clipped it, then put on an old gym headband and shower cap, and it wasn't too insanely sloppy while I sat down to do some work. Oh, and re: drinking the leftovers: My daughter is now ADDICTED to this banana milkshake too! Ha!

Step 4: Wash your hair as usual.

Be sure to get all the banana out, obvs. You don't want to smell like them and get attacked by a monkey, because you're going to have really amazing, shiny, healthy-looking hair that's in need of showing off! Seriously--so shiny and hydrated. This is a fantastic DIY version of my beloved [expensive] Bumble and Bumble Creme de Coco Masque.

Thanks again to Crunchy Betty for the recipe! I'm quite sure I'll be cooking up something else from your site soon.
