Coconut Oil Avocado Banana Hair Mask


Looking for a homemade hair mask? This coconut oil avocado and banana hair mask can’t be beat! With just three ingredients, your hair will look less damaged and feel healthier in no time.


One of the reasons I love homemade beauty treatments, specifically homemade hair masks, is because I almost always have everything on hand to make them. Not only that, but they are an awesome way to use up fruit and veggies that aren’t pretty enough to be served on your plate any longer

I’m giving you something else to make with those brown bananas instead of banana bread:

Coconut Oil Avocado and Banana Hair Mask
I wasn’t sure what the combination of banana and avocados would smell like, but it was actually really pleasant. Plus, the consistency is thick enough to stay on your hair without dripping and hold it in place while you’re letting it set.

Why This Banana, Avocado and Coconut Oil Hair Mask Works

Wondering what it is about this homemade coconut oil hair mask that makes it so great for your hair? Or what exactly the coconut oil hair mask benefits are? Check it out:

What’s so special about coconut oil in this coconut hair mask DIY?

Coconut Oil is loaded with Vitamin E and healthy fatty acids that give it high moisture retention properties. The chemical structure of coconut oil also allows it to penetrate the hair instead of just coating it, making it the perfect ingredient to add some moisture back into dry and damaged hair. 

Why use an avocado hair treatment?

Because avocados are packed full of vitamins that allow them to aid in hair growth as well as repairing damaged hair. Avocado hair mask benefits also include helping improve the the strength of hair strands. This makes me love avocados for hair repair as much as I love them on toast!

What does banana do for your hair?

A lot! Bananas are high in natural oils and vitamins that soften the hair and help prevent breakage. Which is one of the reasons I love using a banana for hair growth in masks. Bananas also aid in improving the appearance of your hair, can add a healthy glow to your strands and aid in controlling dandruff. This is why a DIY banana hair mask is one of my favorites to make!

They Said Coconut Oil Was Great For You, But This Is What They Didn’t Tell You       Coconut oil is a popular nutritional oil derived from the meat of matured coconuts.  Coconut has long been a primary source of food throughout the tropics. Its various industrial and cosmetic applications have made it a very viable commodity. Coconut oil is heat stable, making it suitable for cooking at high temperatures. It is slow to oxidize, resists rancidity and has a shelf life of approximately two years or more. The main exporting countries are the Philippines, Indonesia, and India. Coconut oil makes up less than 3% of annual global vegetable oil production.
