'Yesterday I did something awful to my hair. It’s probably the worst thing a girl can ever do to her hair. Well if you’re wondering whether I chopped off my hair then you’re wrong. It’s something worse than that! I recently read in a magazine that applying a mask of banana adds extra sheen to your hair. And I was tempted to try it out.
