Bananas are seriously such an amazing fruit. They provide various health benefits and are fortified with vitamins such as zinc, iron, manganese and potassium. They are very good instant energizers and help to lower cholesterol. They are used to combat stomach ulcers. One great thing about bananas is that it can be used to either gain or lose weight.

The benefits of bananas do not end in the body. This miracle fruit is used for beauty treatments. Banana face masks are known to promote younger looking, glowing skin. Bananas have good moisturizing benefits that they are used to treat dry, cracked heels. They are used in many foot treatments.

How amazing are BANANAS!

Hey, let me end there and get back to hair. How are bananas beneficial for my hair?

Besides the fact that bananas keep the body healthy and healthy hair thrives in a healthy body, bananas can be used in a number of D-I-Y hair packs. Bananas are rich in potassium, carbohydrates, natural oils and vitamins which leave the hair super soft and healthy at the same time, promoting hair elasticity and preventing split ends and breakage. After doing a banana a banana treatment expect to have amazing shine. (Bananas make me used the word “amazing” too much.) Bananas are awesome deep conditioners with moisturizing benefits.

• For Hair Loss- Bananas and Raw Yoghurt should do the trick. At least, twice in a month. 
• For Shine and Health – Banana, Olive oil and Egg mixture is recommended at most once a month.
• To keep hair soft- Bananas, avocado and coconut milk works wonders
• For Damaged Hair- Banana and almond oil.

Be sure to completely mash or blend all ingredients into a smooth paste. You wouldn’t want to be stuck with chucks of banana in your hair. 

Good thing about D-I-Y is the recipes are unlimited. Make yours and let me know in the comments below.

Stay Awesome (and amazing….. of course.)!!!!!!!                             

Updates

Hey loves, I know I have been away for so long. I’m really sorry. School just started for me and it took a while to get adjusted to this semester’s timetable. Changes were still being made but for now it is stable. I also had a problem doing some of my course registrations but by the grace of God that has been resolved. Wednesdays are my most liberal days and so I’m making it blog days. I promise to bring you good and insightful posts.

The HHJ Kitchen Finds series will come on Fridays. I’ll try my very hardest to be frequent with those.

What is new with my hair?

For the first two weeks after school started I was wigging it. I used a pixie cut wig cap because it was easier to style and I didn’t want to deal with my hair while I was stressed. I wanted to wig longer than two weeks but my cornrows needed to be redone every week since it messed up pretty quick. I was 10+ weeks post relaxer then and having my hair parted every week was not exactly fun. 

This is why I made the decision to get something less manipulative. Last weekend I got a full sew in weave installed. I was skeptical about this weave because I had never tried this style and I didn’t know how it would look. For starters it was longer than I’m used to, and then it is wavy. I can say so far that I love it because I feel pretty and I get complimented a lot. I’m going to try to keep this for a minimum of 4 weeks. It shouldn’t be hard because school work will keep me occupied.

What else is new?

My YouTube is in operation now. I have 2 videos so far:

HHJ:Kitchen Finds - ONION

I have decided to start a new series titled "HHJ:Kitchen Finds". This new series will be to feature natural ingredients easily found in the kitchen that can be used on your hair journey. This ingredients are easy to find and relatively cheap. I hope you enjoy this series.

-Ms. Direction

Onions are used in all households for making their meals, but what many people don’t know is that onions are very beneficial for healthy hair. Onions are a relatively cheap way of enhancing hair growth and overall hair health on your journey. Onions are also very easy to come by.

• Regular consumption of onion helps to treat many hair problems while also promoting healthy hair growth.
• Onions when applied directly to the scalp is an excellent hair growth treatment. The sulfur present in onions is great at stimulation the scalp to provide blood circulation which in turn promotes healthy hair growth.
• Onion juice can be used to prevent and treat pre mature graying and hereditary hair loss respectively.
• Onions can be used to slow down, treat and cure alopecia or female pattern baldness.
• Onions have antibacterial properties for treating scalp infections caused by fungi and/or yeast.

Now you know the benefits onions have to offer, how do you incorporate onions into your regimen?

1. Make onion juice by using a grater, blender, juicer or food processor. Onion juice can be applied directly on the scalp for 30 minutes or more before you wash your hair.
2. Onions can also be used in your shampoo. Cut onion into tiny pieces and put in your shampoo. Allow it to sit for 15 days to infuse. It stinks bad from what I have heard but the smell doesn’t linger. Follow with a nice smelling conditioner or hairdress and you are good to go.
3.  Mix onion juice with honey and use as a hair mask. Leave overnight and wash out with a good smelling shampoo and conditioner.
