fresh from your kitchen: coco~banana deep conditioner

This moisturizing, nourishing pre-shampoo deep conditioning hair treatment is great for dry, damaged hair. I try to do it every couple of weeks to combat the salt and sun my hair is exposed to by surfing.

coco~banana 
deep conditioner
1/2 a ripe banana
1/4-1/3 cup coconut oil
(depending on hair length- go 1/3c if your hair is super long & thick)
1T shea butter
12-20 drops Essential Oil (EO) or scent of your choice

Essential Oil Recommendations
Rosemary EO:
clarifying
Lemon EO:
brightening for blonds
Lavender & Geranium EOs:
moisturizing
or 
just give it a tropical, yummy scent with phthalate free coconut creme fragrance oil

Directions:
Mash the banana or puree in a blender or food processor.
Gently melt the coconut oil in the microwave in 45 sec bursts. When it's almost all liquid, remove and stir in the shea butter.
Add to pureed banana and whip.
Let cool for 10-15 min before applying to dry hair.
When mixture is warm to touch but still liquid, apply to your hair from scalp to ends of strands.
Wrap hair in shower cap or plastic wrap for up to 20 min.
Wash and rinse thoroughly.
Enjoy!
