Hair | Reparing Avocado Mask

Did you know that mixing an avocado with oil and applying it to your hair

can help restore luster and shine to otherwise dull, dry hair?

My mom is dominican and ever since I knew she put weird masks

on my hair whenever she could or I let her. A beauty day was in my

schedule since I was 7. My mom, my sister and I sat in the living room

with plastic caps on our heads waiting for the masks (or whatever my

mom wanted to try) to work and dry.

She has a special relation with avocados, they aren't just for guacamole

and ensaladas an Avocado is full of nutrients, minerals, vitamins and

fatty acids that can add a shine to your hair.

Now that I'm grown up enough I have to do my own masks and try

new things myself. I've been doing an avocado mask for the past 2 weeks

(once a week) and I'll do it 2 times more to complete the month then

Im going to post my opinion based on my final results.

Feel free to try this yourself. This is the way I am doing it and for what

I believe it works for every type of hair.
