step 1: Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to the pan and begin to heat
step 2: Mix 3 tsp of honey to the oil and stir together well
step 3: crush 1 whole banana until pulpy and add to the hot oil and honey
(THIS IS WHERE I WENT WRONG!!! - You must blend the banana until there are no lumps at all!!!)
step 4: a few drops of balsamic (or cider) vinegar
step 5: squeeze in the juice from a generous slice of lemon
step 6: continue to mix and heat until you are left with very few lumps NO LUMPS AT ALL!!
step 7: set the mixture aside and allow to cool
step 8: once it has cooled down, apply the mixture to damp hair for 30-45 mins
I was so excited about this concoction - so much so, that I took photos throughout the process, thinking I was going to be so pleased with the results.
THIS WAS NOT THE CASE.
But at least it took my mind off things for an afternoon....

Seeing as how it's been several days since you posted the video, you've probably managed to get the banana out by now.
ReplyDeleteIf not, I was wondering if you tried peanut butter? I have no idea whether it'll work on your concoction but when i was in school i always heard that it's the only way to get chewing gum out of your hair - and it washes out, promise.
Also, it's nice to see someone who HASN'T mastered their natural hair yet. I've been transitioning since May and all I see online are people who've got it down when I still don't. I haven't gotten banana chunks stuck in my hair yet, but your video made me smile because I know I'm not alone :-)
Hey Cami,
ReplyDeleteYes I think all traces of the banana are finally gone!! - over a week later!
The peanut butter thing sounds risky to me- I think I'll be less hasty to use kitchen cupboard remedies in future! ha
Hope we can help each other along the way! Thanks for reading.x
If you have a blender, you can put the concotion in that.
ReplyDeleteOr use banana baby food :)
