How to straighten hair naturally using Banana Hair Mask
Hi Friends,
Hair straightening and hair re-bonding are quite similar terms to straighten the hair. Undoubtedly, these hair treatments are very much in demand these days. Most of us invest a lot of money in getting these treatments done. The beauty professionals use many chemicals to straighten the hair, which looks pretty for some time (might be years) but when the straightening effect gets over hair texture becomes dull and lifeless. Moreover, regular use of heat and chemicals damage hair causing dryness and hair fall. Bringing hair back to life becomes another diligent and time taking process. What if we get the temporarily result of hair straightening without using chemicals?
Also, usually after shampooing when our hair gets dry it becomes frizzy, so most of us are always on a look out of herbal products that can smooth-en or straighten hair without any side effects. Using natural ingredients, I have experimented with a hair mask that temporarily straightens the hair until next wash. Yesterday only, I have applied this hair mask, which contains banana as an active ingredient. With the use of banana my hair became softer and straighter. The banana hair mask is a pretty natural, non-chemical and frizz-free treatment to make the hair soft and smooth. Let’s look at the remedy now.
Active Ingredients-
1) 2 Bananas- Banana keeps hair hydrated and healthy. With regular use, a banana hair mask can increase the moisture content of your hair, smooth frizz, and soothe your itchy scalp.
2) 2 Lemons- Lemon boosts hair shine, helps to clear dandruff and helps reduce frizz. Apparently, it can also help in dealing with hair loss problems.
Optional Ingredients-
1) Yogurt (Curd) – Yogurt contains natural milk protein that helps in strengthening hair without making it dull or dry. The lactic acid and zinc also stimulate blood circulation which in turn aids hair growth.
2) Fullers earth (Multani Mitti) – Fullers earth (Multani Mitti) helps to get rid of oily scalp condition and to treat split ends.
Preparation-
– Chop bananas & lemon juice in a grinder.
– Try to make the paste as smooth as possible, and make sure that you do not add any water as that will cause spillage on application.
– If you want, you can add curd in this mixture and grind it a little more.
– Once the paste is ready add 2 spoons of fuller’s earth and mix it well.
– Let this paste settle for 5 minutes
– Your hair mask is ready :dancydancy:
Application-
Take a hair coloring brush, a comb and put on disposable gloves. Start applying this mask with brush, using the comb for close partings, as that will help the mask to slather evenly on the scalp. Cover the hair with mask from root to tip. Keep it on for about 30 minutes and rinse off with cold water. Once the mask is all out, shampoo your hair with a good conditioner and towel dry. Afterwards, you will feel you hair silky smooth, no need to apply any after wash hair serum.
Now, enjoy the day flaunting your loose, frizz-free hair :-) Apply this Hair Pack once a week to get straight, non-frizzy hair without any side effects.

can i use only curd /banana and lime???
Yes, you can go for only banana & lime !
Thanx 4 suggesting dis one… I really got upset after straightening my hair.. It was getting damaged… Lemme try it out!!!! :shy_s:
You are welcome dear !
I applied this mask today (banana and lime) to my daughter. Even after washing with shampoo still the head is not clean I can still see the particles . Can you suggest me how to wash it completely!
Thanks
Hi Arty.. you have to make a very fine paste of this mask. Do it using a grinder or blender, and blend it until you cannot distinguish banana cubes. Now, while washing hair use a wide-toothed comb to get rid of every minute particles of this mask..
The first time when I applied this mask, I did not do any of these two things..Since I have started doing them this mask has been never been so easy. I hope your daughter gets beautiful and smooth hair.. Take care, God bless !
Hi,
Thanks for sharing this, I am going to try this today.
Hope this works on men hair too. :)
Sure.. go for it dear!
Hi ma’am.Its just been two weeks that i’ve gone through smoothening process but my hair has become rough & dry.So would dis mask make some change to my dry hair??and do tell me if lime would have any harmful effects on my chemically straightened hair??
Hi Niyati, I believe this mask is not for chemically treated hair. You should try professional shampoos that are specifically made for hair straightening. Or consult your hair stylist !
Does dis mask make hairs straight :wacko:
Hey Khyati, they wont give that chemically straightened look but definitely a huge change from regular/frizzy hair. You will find them smooth and soft !
Hi my hairs are too much dry and dandruff. Does this pak will be work?

Worked great on my hair! I have long hair which has a mind of its own, and turns really rough if not washed for more than 3days..though tough to wash off, dis pack gives a great feel to my hair..does this help against hairfall? Dat z a bigg problem!
Hi Satabdi, I am glad that it worked for you but unfortunately it does not work for hair fall :negative:
this is great solution.. but I have a confusion about the type of hair .. I mean which type of hair for use this paste means can I apply on oily hair or not?
Yes Krutika, you can apply it on oily hair. I too have oily hair and apply this mask all the time. Hope this helps !
Hii mam! My hair r very curly n frizzy :scratch: does dis mask permanently straight my hair?
Dear Aksa, this mask does not contribute towards permanent hair straightening but definitely it can make your hair smoother and softer than its current texture.
Hope this helps, take care !
Can i put this in oily hair???
Hi Sagrika,
I would recommed to not to put it on oily hair as that will deteriorate the outcome.
Do I need to shampoo my hair after this mask or is co-wash enough ? Before applying do our hair has to be clean or I can apply this anyways ? Please suggest .. Everytine I wash my hair, they become dry and frizzy no matter what hair pack I use it what shampoo /conditioner I use !!! Please help ..,,
You need to shampoo after using this mask… and before applying it your hair does not need to be clean but oil free. Make sure that you do not apply this mask after oiling your hair as that decreases its efficiency. A note of caution: if the paste is not smooth the banana particles will tangle in your hair and you may need to use a comb to get rid of them.
Hope this helps.
hi
I have gone through rebondind 1&1/2 year ago. Now the effect has just vanished ans my hairs become extremely dry and very frizzy. Will this mask help? Can I use it?
Hi Neha, This mask cannot bring the effects of rebonding, but definitely it can control the frizziness and make your hair smoother.
Can I apply oil on my hair and then apply this banana pack? Or is this pack supposed to be applied on dry hair?
Hi Priya, To ensure maximum benefit apply this pack on dry hair.
mam if i not have multani wat can i use pls say m waiting
Try this without multani mitti, it may work well !
:clickhere_s: hi iam priya if i not have multain what can i use
hii ma’am..my hair used to be thick and long..but nowadays im facing hairfall..and my hair is rough..can this pack reduce hairfall?
Hi Swathi, hairfall is a normal process and it happens with everybody. But if you are not facing major fall then you should consult a specialist. Speaking of the pack, it helps in improving hair texture but nothing for reducing hair fall.
hi , I had applied this mask, mixing banana, olive oil and curd and after wash my hair turned really soft and shiny, next time I will try it this way as read it just now, my question is how often should I apply this mask ? can I apply it weekly?
Hi Nitu,
Banana mask with curd and olive oil works equally well. As far as teh frequency if concerned, yes you can apply it once a week.
Hope this helps !
I tried this a day before a function along with the fine mashing and combing during shower but the particles simply refused to come off!!!! Excessive hair washing gave me a dry grass like head and I’m really upset! Even after blow drying n repeated combing the particles were still there!
It has to be in paste form, that ways particles won’t stick in hair !
will this mask help to reduce curly hair….
Siri, it is a temporary solution. I am afraid permanent effects can’t be achieved with this.
I have tried the banana, honey & olive oil mask. Applied it then kept a shower cap on, stayed for an hour. I feel that my hair is the same. :cry:
Can this mask treat the splitends….????
No dear, it does not work on splitends !
Hye frds…. Its d second week I’m applying ds hair pack…. I do hv frizzy nd curly hair. Bt ds pack really really workd for me…. Its a must try for dry nd frizzy hair :heart:
Thank you so much Neha for your feedback.. happy that it worked for you Muuaaah !
I first oil my hair then i washed it with shampoo and then i applied this hair mask…is it right.?
You should shampoo and condition your hair after applying this pack.. please read the application section carefully !
Hi friends,
My hairs were very rough nd damaged after using straightener.Today I applied this pack nd found its very effective, it makes my hairs very soft nd straight.
Thanks Mamta… glad that it worked for you !
does it work on colored hir??
Yes, it should but the results may vary from person to person.
Mam I had straighted my hairs :heart: before 8months can I use this pack for getting smoother hair :cry:
Hi Chandi, I do not think this will be the right pack for rebonded or chemically straightened hair. You might wanna use the products recommended by the hair stylist.
Apply mayonnaise on your hair for 1 hour and then rinse off with cold water
It smootsmooths your hair 😃
I have heard of it but never applied :) Thanks for sharing !
Hello Shailja
I have read your article very carefully. I have rough and dry hair a bit frizzy too. I tend to oil my hair over night and then shampoo and condition it..
But i want to try this mask but as you have mentioned the hair should not be oiled previously and the mask should be applied on dry hair then i just wish to ask that won’t multani mitti further dry my dry hair and can you suggest which shampoo and conditioner should i use after washing the hair mask??
do resolve my queries please..
have a good gay ahead
Kirti
Hi Kiriti,
Multani mitti is optional. If you have dry hair you should not use multani mitti & curd. Just apply the banana and lemon paste. For washing you can use any shampoo and conditioner.
Hope this helps !
Love,
Shailja
I really like this application.does it work?
can i use milk in place of curd?? and will adding papaya to this paste benefits us???
Can i use raw banana instead of using ripe banana??
I would recommend using ripe banana
Hi Maa’m,
My hair is dry and frizzy….Will the above mask help me in getting straight and soft hair as my hair is slightly curly at the ends..Will fullers earth have any side effects on my hair?Please reply…
Can I use mehndi wid dese paste???😄
I won’t use that ever :)
My hair is curly wavy and dry fizzy damaged hair.does it work for me ?
I have used it on my hair but the banana particles are tangled to my hair ….how do i get rid of it?
My hair is very dry and frizzy. Do I use banana and lemon or do i add curd too.
Use banana and lemon only. Avoid curd it will make your hair more dry!
Is it is permanent :unsure:
No dear, it is not permanent. It will give temporary results.
Hi, my hair gets very oily(immediately the next day after hair wash) and I have dandruff problem too… Will that banana and lemon mask work on my hair???
How often do i need to apply for better results
My hair is little bit dry when I m washing my hair . So is this pack will give a better results mam. .?. Can I use this when my hair gets frizzy nd dry .
i use mehndi on my grey hair… i hve rough and damaged hair should i use this mask with castor oil and curd?
Hi Aashi.. I would not suggest putting castor oil in it. Even I apply mehndi on my hair and this pack helps in taming the frizziness.
Hii mam! I had a good hair texture before. But then i thought of straightening my hair. And i used the hair straightener on wet hair. From that day my hair is so much damaged. I tried many things for it, but nothing worked out. Now please tell me would this mask repair my hair?
Hi Nyra, It can provide you temporary relief but for permanent recovery you would need to wait until your hair regrows to full length.
Hi..I want to know if this mask is good for chemically treated smoothed hairs??
