Avocado & Banana Hair Mask
Labels:

As a vegan, it is difficult to find hair or face mask diys that do not contain animal products, such as honey, yogurt, or eggs. I was so excited when I found this avocado & banana hair mask on Aarean's blog, The Color Issue (I've also featured this on one of my Crafty Saturday posts). Her recipe called for 1 whole avocado and 1 whole banana, but I split the recipe in half because I ate the other half on the avocado when I made vegan tacos the other night. (Half was plenty for my hair and I have fairly think, medium/, curly hair). Here's my version of the hair mask recipe!

Hi Melissa! Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog today! ALSO- I'm so interested in this hair mask. MY hair could really use a deep condition right now. Maybe I'll give this one a try!
ReplyDeleteOoh I will try this in a few days time! Looks very goodxx
ReplyDeleteMy hair is so damaged, I could really use this. And I don't have to buy hair masks, which are so expensive. Thanks for the help! xx

I've tried it before and it left so much chunks on my hair! Lol!! I had a hard time taking them out so whenever I have avocado, I will only use it on my face and not hair =P

This looks great! I've been using straight coconut oil on my girls which works great but you've got to get the exact right amount or it ends up greasy.
ReplyDeleteWe grow avocados so it's going to be nice and cheap too!
Thanks for visiting my bog!

SOOOOO GOING TO TRY THIS!!!!!
ReplyDeletealso I'm assuming you wash it out with shampoo right? -inexperienced hair mask person here-
ReplyDeleteI actually don't use shampoo so I just rinsed it out. it left a bit of a greasiness to it, but because my hair is so dry and curly, it was fine.

That sounds great. I wonder was it difficult to wash off? I know a good eco hair mask is hard to find if you´re allergic to soy like me :)

it wasn't hard to wash off, but it did clog up the drain a bit!

I love the idea of natural ingredient products i think its just better then anything you can buy. I'm going to try this out soon x
ReplyDeleteI could really use a hairmask!

Sounds good. Did it weigh your hair down at all?
ReplyDeletenot really at all! my hair still curled right up when I styled it!
Deletexo Melissa
Such a great idea xx
ReplyDeleteI really want to try this. I never use products that have been tested on animals and I try to avoid products with animal products in them but it's difficult sometimes so I love finding new things like this that you can have fun with at home without the guilt of knowing that animals were harmed :(

Wow, that looks and sounds good! I need to try it...I have been neglecting my hair as far as deep conditioning. I'm just afraid that the people in my house will eat it before I get a chance to use it!
