You may also mix some other ingredients with banana to make interesting hair

for our hair.
Benefits Of Banana For Hair
Bananas are high in
vitamin B6,
vitamin C, potassium, dietary fibre and magnesium, but free of
sodium and cholesterol.
They are almost fat-free, and relatively low in calories-depending on their
size. Per 100 grams serving, bananas contain 0.3 gm total fat, zero
cholesterol, 1 mg salt, about 360 mg potassium, 2.6 gm dietary fibre, 12 gm
sugar and 1.1 gm protein. But, the benefits of bananas are not just limited to
health; they are also used for excellent beauty treatments.
Bananas are great for
your hair and scalp. They are known to improve manageability and shine of our
hair. Moreover, they are known to prevent and control dandruff, and moisturise
our scalp. Bananas are rich in potassium, natural oils, carbohydrates and
vitamins, which help soften our hair and protect their natural elasticity.
While there are many banana hair products available in the market, why to spend
on too many store-bought products when you can make your own banana masks at
home in your own kitchen.
