Banana with coconut oil hair mask
It is recommended that you use this mask once a week for the best result.

Tips
- It works because bananas contain potassium which strengthens and fixes damage on your hair.
- Use this every week to get healthy, shiny hair.
- Make sure to brush or comb through when rinsing, and condition afterwards, as bits of dry banana in your hair is not a popular look.
