Conditioning Seaweed Hair Rinse

Vinegar and Bladderwrack! Doesn't that sound just scrumptious?
 
Another happy experiment!

I've been thinking a lot about bladderwrack* ever since I threw it in my latest hair mask on a whim and had such excellent results.  I got to wondering what else it could be used for... 

*Bladderwrack is a seaweed. I use it in powdered form for hair stuff!

Banana Beauty Recipe Review: Banana Hair Conditioner

It's banana-mania!

I'm so excited! I received my copy of Sonya Kanelstrand's new book, Banana Beauty today and can't wait to try some of these crazy recipes. I've tried a LOT of recipes in my time, but never heard of using bananas in my hair or on my face.

Sonya decided to write this book when a recipe she shared went absolutely VIRAL! And it looks like the book is going viral, too, with hundreds of thousands of pins and LOTS of sales. 

So the basic premise of the book is that the banana contains all you need to have soft hair and skin. We can stop throwing money away on possibly hazardous commercial products and reap more benefits than ever. 

I've tried to find scientific proof to back these claims up, but have not had much success. There is a LOT of anecdotal evidence, though. The banana is a very popular item for hair and skin care!

I did manage to find some stuff.
