Fresh bananas are rich in nutrients and also taste and smell great. They are a popular ingredient in homemade hair masks that are meant to condition and soften hair. But did you know that bananas, when combined with the right ingredients, can help your hair reach the desired length and stimulate the growth of new hair? Add an egg yolk and honey to them and you won’t believe your eyes!
The perfect combination of three natural ingredients will make your hair grow faster
Bananas contain silicon dioxide, a mineral element that helps the body synthesize collagen and can make your hair stronger and firmer. They also have antimicrobial properties that can treat flaky and dry scalps and alleviate the symptoms of dandruff. Research into the nutritional and chemical properties of bananas suggests that banana masks can be used on all hair types. Antioxidants in bananas can also reduce oxidative stress, which is a main cause of hair loss. The egg proteins contained in the yolk stimulate the hair follicles, while honey is rich in antioxidants that support the healing of dry and irritated skin.
Banana, honey and yolk hair mask
This simple mask is great for promoting the growth of smooth, shiny hair, and it contains no chemical substances that would come into contact with a sensitive scalp. You will need:
- 1 or 2 ripe bananas (depending on hair length)
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 100 ml of beer
Blend all the ingredients together in a blender into a smooth paste. Then apply it along the entire length of your hair, paying special attention to the scalp. Let the mixture work for at least ten minutes; for a more intensive result, leave it on for several hours (wrapping the hair in cling film and a towel helps), then rinse thoroughly. Use lukewarm water so the yolk doesn’t coagulate in your hair. For best results, use once a week.
