1. Banana Deep Conditioner for Dry Hair

Bananas are one of the better kept secrets when it comes to treating dry hair, as they are rich in beneficial vitamins such as potassium and Vitamin A. Olive oil is used to help penetrate and add moisture to parched strands. Greek yogurt will provide the hair with a healthy balance of moisture and protein to help soften dry hair strands.

You will need:

• 1 ripe banana
• 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon pure honey 
• plastic conditioning cap

How to Use: Mix banana and EVOO in a blender until very smooth, then add remaining ingredients and mix well until there are no lumps. Pour mixture through a strainer to remove any extra lumps or banana pulp before applying to your hair. Apply to wet hair, cover with a plastic conditioning cap and leave on for a minimum of 30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.

2. DIY Deep Conditioner – Chocolate Honey Hair Smoothie

Cacao powder is rich in vitamins, magnesium and also contains one of the highest levels of antioxidants than other sources. The cacao bean is where chocolate comes from and not only is it delicious, it is great for your natural hair because it adds vibrancy, shine, volume, and promotes healthy hair growth. Cacao contains beneficial nutrients for your hair such as protein, riboflavin, vitamin A, and thiamine. Treat your hair to a yummy chocolate treat using the following ingredients:
