Buh-Buh-Banana ... Deep Conditioners

Do you have a stash of bananas that are too ripe to eat? Don't throw them away just yet. The following recipes are for deep conditioners you can make at home with a banana. Some require just two additional ingredients. Others are a little more elaborate. Either way, that overripe banana can be used to moisturize your hair with a little kitchen magic. One note: Be sure to blend or mash the banana really well so you don't get bits stuck in your hair. Another option is to remove banana bits with a sieve. Enjoy and go green!
