I decided to do one, and I failed…I FAILED HARD.
It all started out great. Olive oil, honey, banana…what can go wrong?
What I used:
1 banana (peeled)
2 tablespoons of honey
1 cap full of olive oil
I mixed it all in a cup. I made sure the banana was really well mashed. It turned out to be almost liquid.
I put it on my hair and covered with a plastic bag because this was pretty watery and drippy.
I left it on my hair for 20 minutes and then I rinsed and washed my hair. I conditioned as normal.
And then my hair was left with this ALL OVER MY HEAD
My hair was so dry and tangled, I couldn’t even get a comb through it. I had to condition it two more times after this, just to get it manageable. It still hasn’t fully recovered.
It’s like the banana solidified on my head and then turn to rubber. Or a balloon exploded on my head.
Pro-tip, if you are allergic to latex, you may want to watch your banana consumption.
I have no idea what I did wrong. All I know that is my hair is not moisturized.

oh no! well I won’t be trying this diy thing. sounds bad.
It works for other people. I think it may be me lol.
I tried not to laugh really but the image of someone with that kind of disaster in their head was too funny. I really hope you get it sorted out soon.
I hope you laughed! It was meant to be amusing
I tried to add banana to my pre-poo and it was a hot mess. Never, ever, ever again. The best pre-poo for me is EVOO, honey, a conditioner I like, and egg ( I add the egg in every other week or so). I tried avocado and that was a mess too. Maybe I need a better blender.
