Steps to follow:
This avocado hair mask is ideal to give hydration to dry and ill-treated hair, helping with regeneration and increasing its health and beauty. It's important for the avocado to be ripe so you can use it more effectively and give you more hydration.
To start making your avocado hair mask, remove the inside of a ripe avocado and mash it with a fork in a medium bowl; then add 2 spoonfuls of organic mayonnaise and mix well to get a smooth paste that will become the mask for your hair.
Next, you should fill a spray bottle with water. Spray the hair to dampen it, and then apply the avocado paste with your fingers.
It's important to apply the avocado hair mask from the scalp to the tips of your hair. Once it's spread evenly, give your scalp a circular massage to stimulate circulation and correct absorption of the hydrating ingredients.
Tie your hair into a bun and then put on a shower cap, this will help the properties get better absorbed by the scalp. Leave the avocado hair mask on for at least 30 minutes and then rinse with warm water.
Shampoo and condition your hair as you would normally. Use this treatment once a week if you have normal hair and twice a week if your hair is dry or damaged. Also check out our other articles effective home remedies to treat damaged hair or dry hair.
