I happened to be online checking my hotmail account
and usually I ignore the little newsy links
because they usually seem real dumb or irrelevant to me
but one caught my eye
Bananas are a good wrinkle reducer, it said
so I was like
HMMMM
that looks interesting
so I clicked and read more
and I did more searching on the Web and found out that banana is good for the hair too
so I thought
OK
I will try it
and it's real simple.
Just take a banana, the riper the better
like a banana bread ready banana is the best
and you just mush it into a paste
and then spread it over your fair and hair
and then you let it just sit for a half hour
(it feels kinda funny, but you will get used to it)
then, you just get the in shower
rinse it off
and wash your hair like normal
I have done this only 3 times in the space of like maybe 1.75 weeks, doing it about every four days or so
and I don't even wear foundation anymore because my skin looks GREAT
fine lines gone
looking fresh as a daisy
people even complimented me on my skin
and my hair looks great too
and I have baby fine hair that is bleached so it's not hard for it to look damaged or just blah and not good
but the bananas have made it look pretty fly!
so I say
GO BANANAS
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Go Bananas
Sat, May 10, 2008 - 6:08 AMI am definitely going to try this. I don't have any wrinkles as of yet, but it sounds like a great moisturizer/conditioner. I may need a couple bananas as I have waist length hair, but it sounds like it's worth the effort! -

Re: Go Bananas
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 5:26 PMOh my, where to begin....So I tried the bananas, just once so far. Let me just say this.....If you have long thick hair, I would suggest putting those bananas in the blender to make a smooth non-chunky conditioner type deal, cause what a mess! I mashed some very ripe bananas pretty well, or so I thought. Good gods it took my like 45 mins to get the banana gunk out of my hair! All the little chunkies stuck! So I ended up washing my hair three times afterwards, which definitely defeated the purpose. I'm not discouraged though, I will try this again, this time running the bananas through the blender so there are NO chunk! -

Sat, May 17, 2008 - 1:47 PMyeah, the blender is a good idea. it does take a while to get it out, but then you get used to it and you develop a good strategy/technique. let us know how the blended banana conditioner works.

Re: Go Bananas
Mon, May 19, 2008 - 4:33 AMYeah, I love experimenting with bananas, especially since they're easy to come by for free, when they start going brown and ripe (just perfect for us eh!) and the stores don't want to sell them anymore.
If you mix some mashed banana with some brown sugar you have a yummy "banana bread" scrub.
Banana and cocoa powder was nice too, but messy!
Happy mashing! -

Fri, May 23, 2008 - 11:14 AMI did it, it burned a little bit, but I think that was just the fruit acid on dead skin. I was thrilled with how smooth and clear my skin turned out. -

Re: Go Bananas
Wed, June 4, 2008 - 9:27 PMI checked it out on Snopes and it's only partially true (which is almost just as bad as being totally true). One species of bananas is being wiped out. Big corporations and their hunger for cash!
