I did my first banana DC this week using banana baby food + EVOO + honey. Left it on for a couple of hours and when I rinsed it out I was totally amazed at just how awesome my hair felt. It had an awesome shine to it, felt soft as ever and added volume to my hair. Needless to say, I'm definitely going to be doing this DC biweekly. I wanted to share with you ladies the benefits of using bananas for the hair. I know when I first became natural I saw a lot of recipes that included using a banana but never had a full understanding of why.
