Avocados are one of the best natural hair conditioners out there! They are ultra hydrating and moisturizing for normal, dry and oily hair. For normal hair, avocados will maintain the moisture content and prevent drying. For dry hair, avocados will lock in moisture and plump up hair cells. Even oily hair needs to be hydrated to regulate the oil secretion out of the hair follicles! Avocado contains healthy fatty acids, vitamin E, D, B, amino acids and antioxidants that will protect hair strands from dryness. The nutrients in avocado will nourish hair follicles, strengthening them and stimulating hair growth. Avocado will also add a shine to dull locks and keep them as silky as ever! Below are 3 avocado hair mask recipes for luxurious hair! Note: I always use measurements for shoulder length hair in my hair mask recipes to be uniform. Please feel free to adjust the requirements for your hair length, thickness and texture! If you have waist long hair, you would have to double the ingredients to get the most out of the hair masks!
