The attempt to save my hair part 2

How I ruined my hair in the first place

SO
Today I tried shoving some avocado and bananas into my hair, and added some coconut oil for good measure. I'll be missing that out next time I try this because in this case I really think its more of a hinder than a help.
I used;

x2 bananas
1/2 an avocado
some coconut oil melted in the microwave (its solid at room temperature)

I cut all the fruity stuff up and blended it, poured the coconut oil into it, gave it a stir and then massaged it into my hair, which wasn't too bad except I got it all over my bathroom.

I left it on for abouttttt 30 minutes, its only recommended to leave it for 15 but I got distracted by youtube.

When I washed it out it felt gross again like with the mayo/egg fun the other day
It felt so so dry even in the shower, and I had to put a load of my coconut conditioner in to make it feel softer
BUT
Lo and behold, as before, once it started to dry it felt better, and this time it actually feels sort of soft? ish??
It did strip a lot of my hair colour out though (brown, pink and purple over bleach blonde) which isn't too fab as I've run out of pink and only just discovered the pink/purple combo.
But I do have purple and blue left.
ANYWAY
So far so good!
I'm going to try the whole banana/avocado thing again in a couple of days without the coconut oil (I always WAY overdo it) and see how that turns out.
I have high hopes!!

Also;
I tried the Bleach London hair mask a bit the other day and from what i've seen its really great, and smells amazing, but i'll go more into that once i've used it a few more times.

Tiny Baby Hair Haul



Here's a few things I picked up today that I'm going to whack into my hair in the hopes it'll feel a bit better.
Like I said in the last post, when I woke up my hair actually felt better from the weird mayo-egg-coconut-olive oil concoction that I thought had made it worse yesterday, so maybe I won't have to chop it off after all.

So here's a quick rundown of what I got;
(All my stuff is cruelty free as far as I know!)
Superdrug Coconut & Almond Shampoo and Conditioner : Coconut is a fab moisturiser and I used to use this shampoo all the time but didn't get round to buy any more since I moved out. I smells good too!
Superdrug Coconut Oil : As above really. I love this stuff. Its great for skin too!
Bleach London Hair Mask : I'm dead looking forward to trying this. Its got some wheaty stuff in it and kinda smells like porridge. In a good way.
Banana & Avocado : Apparently mixed together they make a great hair mask! So we'll see about that one.
