Avocado Mask for your Hair

I told you that I'd post something healthy!   Although, this is for your hair.  :)

Do you have an avocado and olive oil?

Here's the recipe for soft, silky hair.


Blend 1 ripe avocado & 1/2 tsp of olive oil until smooth, then work mixture into damp hair with comb. (or with your hands)  Pop on a plastic shower cap, (or wrap hair in plasticwrap) and let sit 30 min.

Rinse and shampoo as usual.

My Testimonial 

Oh my gosh!  There is nothing like the feeling of smashed up avocado on your head. It's ooey -gooey, squishy, mushy, nasty and gross ... you get the idea.   :)   ICK!  Just be sure not to accidentally drop some on the bathroom floor.  It doesn't look that good - if you know what I mean.  YIKES!






Pros: It does leave your hair very smooth, sleek and silky.  I'm actually very impressed! Will I use it again? Yes!


Cons: It's very messy and it looks gross.  I've never liked the way guacamole looks, so what can I say?? hee-hee!




TIP!   Be sure to Puree the avocado until it's very smooth, and just when you think it's smooth enough... pulse it a time or two more.  JUST MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO CLUMPS!  




I will never buy a deep conditioner again!!  Just use avocados and olive oil!  Deep conditioning at it's best for about a buck.


Reflecting back:  When I was young, many moons ago, my mother would drench her hair in olive oil and wrap it up with saran wrap.  I laughed. Only because,  I really couldn't understand why she did it.   Boy, if she could have seen me tonight.  HAH!   I know now - hair tends to get dryer as we age. :)

I'm calling her tomorrow and telling her my new found secret.  I think she'll return the laugh!
