The Banana Yogurt Mask is another natural deep conditioner. Bananas help soften hair and prevent split ends. Yogurt cures itchy scalp and dandruff. Olive oil restores shine to hair.

I like this deep conditioner a lot better than the ones I have previously tried. There was a noticeable difference that I didn’t see in the other recipes. My hair felt soft and my curl pattern was loose and easy to detangle.

This week I tried Henna Hair Dye for the first time. Henna Hair Dye is good for natural hair. Henna is a natural colorant and strengthener. I added green tea because it stimulates hair growth. The lemon juice helps to release the dye.

Pros: It made my hair soft and it did not look dry the next morning like it usually did with just washing alone or with chemical dyes.

Cons: Henna is very gritty and hard to wash out.

I tried the sugar scalp scrub for the first time this week. After washing and conditioning my hair I usually notice that my scalp is white in areas from dry, dead skin. The sugar acts as an exfoliant and lifts the dead skin. I did notice the difference after applying the sugar scalp scrub. I didn’t see any dead skin when I parted my hair. This is something I will definitely do again.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp Brown Sugar

3 tbsp Conditioner

This is my second attempt at the Avocado Hair Mask. This time it was a success. The Avocado Hair Mask is used as a deep conditioner. There are numerous benefits to using avocado in your hair. Avocado helps strengthen and moisturize the hair so change won’t be evident until after continual use of the product.

Ingredients:

Half an Avocado

2 tsp. Olive Oil

1 tsp. Honey

1 tsp. Coconut Oil

Yesterday I attempted to do an Avocado Hair Mask and failed big time. I failed to make sure the avocado was ripe before I tried to use it. It was rock hard, ripe avocados will peel easily and are soft, yet still firm. With the avocado hair mask, the softer the better. I will be trying this recipe again in the near future, this time with a ripe avocado.

I heard about the pre-poo treatment for the first time from @theLOVELYbelle on twitter so I decided to give it a try a few weeks ago. It actually made my hair drier than usual so I’ll probably won’t do it again. If I do decide to try again I’ll play around with the ingredients until I get more favorable results. My hair is naturally really soft after washing alone so the pre-poo treatment provided no added benefit to me that I could see. However, many people swear by so I encourage others to try for themselves. Just because it didn’t work for me doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. The dryness problem was easily solved with some Cantu Shea Butter.

Ingredients:

3 tbsps Conditioner

4 tbsps Honey

4 tbsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This week I tried the Coconut Cream Treatment. I didn’t notice a big difference but my curls were mildly looser and softer. Maybe I’ll play around with the ingredients and see if I can get better results.

Ingredients:

12 oz. Plain Nonfat Yogurt

1 1/2 tbsp Coconut Cream Concentrate

1 tbsp Virgin Coconut Oil
