Tame Frizzy Hair
Take control of dry strands with this nourishing hair calmer.
What You Need
1 banana
1/2 avocado
1. Mash banana and avocado together, then comb the mixture through dry hair, which absorbs more nutrients than wet.
2. Cover hair with a plastic cap (the heat it creates increases penetration) and leave on hair for 10 minutes; rinse clean with cool water.
Beauty Benefit
"Bananas are full of potassium, and avocados are packed with moisturizing fatty acids -- two things that soften hair instantly," says Alex Safar of Salon Acote in Boston, who advises using this treatment every other week.

Totally had the same problem! It looked and felt like I had boogers in my hair...gross!
8/22/2011 07:30:14 PM Report AbuseI tried the banana avocado and have one questions? Did anybody actually try this before you posted this article? It is very difficult to rinse out of your hair. I washed my hair twice and still couldn't get it out completely. Might want to suggest using a blender or food processor instead of just mashing.
