There has been a significant shift in health and beauty practices in favor of more all-natural solutions. Among these shifts is the use of alternative conditioners, such as raw food items. These foods include, but are not limited to, the use of bananas, avocados, and honey, in lieu of traditional, commercial conditioners. By observing physical changes at the microscopic level, measuring initial and final hair thickness, and determining initial and final tensile strength, this research aims to validate anecdotal claims, which support the use of alternative conditioning agents.
