the smell is pleasant i'm sure. but i would recomend making two pig tails and only applying this to the part of the tail that is below the rubber bands... for the most part the hair that is closest to your head is the most healthy and does not need a lot of conditioning. The ends on the other hand have been around for a while and could use the oils and moisture from the bannana and sunflower oil. Also, to remove oil from hair you never want to wet your hair and then try to rinse it... (oil and water?) start the shampoo on your hair before even wetting it... it will save lots of time (: tips from a hairstylist :)

Sorry, didn't like this at all!!! The banana started smelling rotten very quickly and had a terrible time washing it out. Actually it took over an hour to get the stuff out of my hair and it pulled out every hair that was even thinking of falling out in the next month! I'm wondering if this is only suitable for thicker hair types because I've got fine blonde hair. However, I will say my skin seemed to really appreciate this treatment!
