After wearing mini twists for 3 weeks, they had started to unravel and I was getting an itchy scalp, I decided to remove them. Once unraveled I pre pooed, shampooed and deep conditioned.
I did something a little different with my deep conditioner, as the all natural ones are expensive I decided to add some other things to it.
I added
2 overripe bananas(even the skin was soft)
2 tbl spoons of honey and
3 tablespoons of evoo
To a blender and blended until smooth, I then proceeded to sieve this mixture into a bowl. Sieving will aid when trying to remove the mixture from your hair. I then added 1 and a half heaped tablespoons of shea moisture's jbco deep conditioner to the mixture, I also added another tablespoon if pure jbco for good measure. I made sure it was thoroughly mixed and added to my hair it sections, finger detangling whilst doing so. The mixture looked like this.
I sat with a shower cap and a conditioning cap for an hour. Once removed my hair felt very soft and moisturised and my curls were defined. I even managed to wash it out of my hair with no banana residue.
Over all this banana mixture has helped me prolong the life of my deep conditioner as i would only usually get 2 uses out of it using this method I would get 4. So I would be saving money in the long run.
Pros
economical
all natural
Cons
although i did not have this problem, getting bits stuck in my hair.
