Fruits and vegetables are very rich in vitamins, minerals and elements that are beneficial for health and beauty, not only fresh, but also for external use in the format of natural cosmetics. Banana is not the leader in the number of various nutrients, but their concentration is much higher than in other fruits.

The pulp of this fruit contains a unique set for the beauty of hair, which is similar to the action of a balm or conditioner:

• Potassium. A substance necessary to restore the structure of the hair, "cosmetic repair" of damaged strands, deep moisturizing;
• Magnesium. In a banana mask, it is needed to nourish the hair, increase their volume, and add shine to the curls;
• Iron. Thanks to this component, the hair becomes stronger, hair loss is prevented;
• Vitamin A. Essential for comprehensive and regular hair care. It provides good growth, strengthens, promotes the production of collagen, has good regenerating properties, slows down the aging process;
• Vitamin E. It affects the curls, giving them a radiant, well-groomed appearance without dryness and split ends, elasticity and silkiness, as well as the scalp. It contributes to the saturation of cells with oxygen, improves blood circulation, which directly affects the renewal processes. Hair looks better and grows faster;
• Vitamin C. Ascorbic acid provides control of sebum secretion and protection from the negative effects of harmful environmental factors (wind, UV rays, sea salt, low temperatures);
• B group vitamins. Necessary for the prevention of a disease that causes dandruff, as they have an antifungal and anti-inflammatory effect. Nourish, heal and strengthen hair, protect against early gray hair;

It is suitable for a variety of hair types, including chemically damaged hair, frequent styling and dyed hair. For a more effective result, there are banana masks with the addition of components whose priority is to solve a particular problem of a particular type of hair.

Preparing a fruit mask is not difficult, but you need to take into account some nuances and follow simple rules. The most important of them is to choose the right fruit. Banana should not be underripe or overripe. A bright, soft fruit is best, from which it is easy to obtain a homogeneous mass.

Before preparing the mask, the banana must be peeled and the top thin layer removed - this way it will be less sticky in the mask. It is undesirable to knead the peeled fruit with a fork.

The same rule applies to other components of masks that are difficult to wash off the hair. Liquid ingredients, such as honey and oils, are best heated in a water bath. All components are gradually added to the banana mass and mixed thoroughly.

Despite its harmless composition and mild effect, the banana has contraindications and can cause an allergic reaction. To prevent unpleasant consequences, it is worth checking the mixture on a small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin, only then apply the mask to the hair.

You can also apply burdock oil in a small amount directly on the curls. It will not only simplify the process of washing your hair after the procedure, but also enhance the penetration of beneficial components into the hair structure.

The mask is designed to be applied to wet curls before shampooing. You should start from the roots, gradually distributing along the entire length. At the same time, movements should be neat, massaging; for a better distribution of the mixture over the strands, it is convenient to use a wooden comb with rare teeth.

On the hair and in the open air, the mixture dries out in 15-30 minutes, it is rather problematic to wash it off after this time, so it is better to make a thermal compress of polyethylene, towels or caps on the hair. In addition to protecting the mask from drying out, the greenhouse effect will speed up the onset of the desired results.

To wash off the mask quickly, you need to do it right: lather the shampoo well in your palms, carefully distribute it through your hair, rinse with water at a comfortable temperature. To remove small particles of ingredients, the hair should be combed with a comb directly under running water.

It is useful to complete the procedure by rinsing with a decoction of herbs, such as chamomile or nettle.

At home, it is easy to prepare an effective skin care product using banana pulp and additional ingredients. Their choice depends on the type of hair and the specific problem.

A mask for this type should simultaneously control the work of the sebaceous glands, eliminate the ugly shine at the roots and moisturize the curls along the length.

The recipe for these masks is simple. So, a banana-lemon mixture is prepared from mashed one small banana and 3 tablespoons of citrus. All that is required is to stir it until smooth and can be applied to the hair. Due to the fact that ripe fruit and lemon juice give a liquid mixture, it is not difficult to wash it off under running water. The result: hydrated, shiny curls that stay clean longer.

Also for greasy strands, a kefir mask is good. A miraculous mixture of a fermented milk product with a banana in a ratio of 1 to 1 must be wrapped in a warming cap for 40 minutes, then rinsed with cool water.

Such masks are designed to compensate for the lack of fat secreted by the glands, fill the hair with moisture, restoring their natural beauty.

To prepare the mask, it is enough to mix puree from both fruits. If desired, you can add a few drops of essential oils or a spoonful of base oil to the mixture.

Moisture alone is not enough for tired and dry hair, they also need high-quality nutrition. It will be provided by a mask with germinated wheat. Grind 2-3 tablespoons of sprouts in a blender and add to banana puree, apply to hair for 30-40 minutes, rinse well.

One effective option is a mixture of half a banana, a tablespoon of quality liquid honey, 2 tablespoons of wheat germ or juice from them. All ingredients must be thoroughly crushed and mixed with a blender, applied for half an hour under a warming cap, rinsed with cool water.

The therapeutic effect is given by a banana mixed with sour cream, yolk and honey. If the ends are badly damaged, then sour cream should be chosen with a high percentage of fat, if the situation is not deplorable, a couple of tablespoons of low-fat will be enough. For medium length hair, you will need one small banana, yolk, a large spoonful of liquid honey and two tablespoons of sour cream.

Do not be upset if there are not all the ingredients in the refrigerator. An excellent mask can be prepared from a banana and honey without additional products.

The following masks can be called universal:

• With sea salt. The recipe is for the hair roots, and the mixture helps to increase the growth rate and get rid of dandruff.

For one banana, 1-2 tablespoons of finely ground sea salt is enough (you can grind coarse in a coffee grinder or blender). The resulting mixture is gently rubbed into the roots and left for 15-20 minutes.

• With aloe. Homemade aloe vera gel or the juice of the grated plant is added to mashed bananas. For best results, you can pour a spoonful of olive oil. Keep the mask under polyethylene and a cap for 40 minutes.

• With milk. Cow's milk provides gentle care for split ends and helps get rid of dandruff, while goat's milk also solves the problem of hair loss.

• With an egg. The yolk provides nutrition, and the protein is the building material for repairing damaged hair.

• With shush. These beans strengthen the roots, protect the curls from the harmful effects of sunlight, deodorize, fight bacteria and fungus, prolong the cleanliness and youthfulness of the hair.
