two ripe bananas,
two to three tablespoons of honey,
half cup of conditioner of your choice

until fully pureed. Use a Blender. Distribute all over and leave on for 20 to 30 minutes; rinse with cool water. “Results are immediate, Keep in mind that it only lasts until your next shampoo.”

warm it in the microwave or warm hot Water, massage into damp hair, and sleep on it. Wear a shower cap and lay a towel on your pillow to prevent a greasy mess. In the morning, shampoo it out. Only use coconut oil on dry and damaged areas, which typically occur from the mid-shaft to the end. If you have finer hair, pick a lighter oil, like olive or avocado, as coconut oil can weigh strands down.

How to use it: Tilt your head back over the sink and carefully pour the juice over clean, detangled hair. Once every section is soaked, dry your hair section by section on low heat to lock color in place.

The Solution : Lock in shine. Think of the outermost layer of your hair, the cuticles, as fishscales; and those scales must lie as flat as possible for shiny hair. Anything from friction to hot water to humidity can ruffle up the cuticles, resulting in a lackluster mane. Residue and product buildup are also factors of reducing shine.
How to use it: To clarify and smooth cuticles, pour an apple cider vinegar rinse (a tablespoon of vinegar to half cup of water) over damp hair and comb through. Let it sink in for five minutes, rinse with cool water, and follow up with conditioner.
The acidity in the vinegar complements the pH of our hair, which helps seal the cuticle and makes it lay flatter,
