Banana Shampoo and Conditioner Back by Popular Demand

Joyce Hewitt
Banana, a simple yellow fruit that is easy to peel and considered to be one of the most popular fruits consumed around the world. According to banana.com, the banana made its way from Malaysia to India, and eventually to America. Along with the banana's impressive history, it has amazing health benefits. If your not a fruit lover and had to pick one fruit, this is it. Bananas are a low calorie food, in the 100 calorie range, and are full of potassium, fiber, vitamins A and B, and an amino acid that is beneficial for your hair.

Its no wonder your hair loves bananas! Bananas are a natural alternative to traditional shampoo and conditioners that can harbor unnecessary chemicals. If your not a fan of homemade beauty products and you don't want to deal with the mess, try The Body Shop's Banana Shampoo and Conditioner. You get community traded banana puree, in a preservable bottle. It will make your hair shine for days, and keep away the frizzles. The Body Shop is making long time fans, like myself very happy by bringing back some of The Body Shop "Originals". They are only limited addition, so grab them while you can! If you act fast thebodyshop.com is selling them at 3 for $20.

Are you feeling adventurous? Try making your own banana mask at home. With bananas costing as little as 80 cents a pound, this is a recipe for the hair on a budget. Things you will need to prepare your banana mask are; a bowl, a blender, one banana, olive oil and honey. Throw your ingredients into the blender until it is pureed. If you plan to save your banana shampoo for a few days in the fridge, you might also want to purchase a plastic squeeze bottle, or a glass jar. Otherwise you can make only a small amount of your homemade banana mask for one-time use. Banana masks work wonders for dry brittle hair, or greasy hair. Your hair will be replenished of vital nutrients, and look shiner. For a healthy scalp, try adding a few drops of the essential oil ylang ylang.

    Have to check it out. Joico used to smell like Bananas. Much nicer than chemical soap and laundry scents in most products.
