If your hair feels dry, dull, or lifeless, Kerala’s ancient beauty wisdom has a delicious solution — the banana hair mask. This tropical treatment, rooted in Ayurvedic care, delivers deep moisture and natural shine without harsh chemicals.

Bananas are rich in potassium, natural oils, and vitamins that make hair smooth, soft, and manageable. They help repair damage and promote natural elasticity, preventing split ends and breakage.

Pro Tip: Use ripe Nendran bananas from Kerala for maximum nourishment.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Few drops of aloe vera gel

 

Method:
Blend until smooth. Apply the paste from root to tip. Leave it for 30–40 minutes and rinse with mild shampoo.

• Deeply hydrates and softens hair
• Reduces frizz in Kerala’s humid climate
• Strengthens follicles to reduce hair fall
• Adds a glossy, natural shine
• Perfect for brides and post-chemical treatments

Use this mask once a week for normal hair and twice a week for dry, frizzy, or colored hair. Consistent use brings visible results within 3 weeks.

Mix banana with amla or hibiscus paste for added scalp nourishment and growth boost – a favorite trick among Kerala beauticians.

According to Kerala’s top stylists, banana masks outperform many commercial conditioners when used regularly, especially before bridal hair styling or keratin sessions.
