Curly girl goodness- Avocado Hair Mask Recipe

So in this never ending quest for healthy hair I am making sure to be extra careful in treating my hair these days with the harsh coldness of winter weather and the added strain of my desire for color. I was grocery shopping and saw avocados on sale and decided I'd go home and make some fresh guacamole and picked up an extra avocado so I could finally try an avocado hair mask. I have hear so many good things about avocados for hair and had beeing dying to try.

Here is what I used:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• rosemary essential oil
• tbsp raw honey
• 2 tbsp real mayonaise

mash avocados and mix. After finger detangling, I applied the mixture to my hair from root to end, massaging it into my hair and scalp. Once I had saturated my hair in the mixture I sat under my steamer for about 20 minutes. You could also use a plastic cap/ hair dryer, steam from the shower, whatever works for you. Then I got in the shower rinsed my hair good and shampoo'd and appied a moisturizing deep conditioner immediately to replenish moisture to my hair. Left it in for about an hour with a plastic cap on while I tuned into Scandal. Afterwards I rinsed and proceeded to style :)

Results: I feel like my hair has alot of shineand body. I didn't notice alot of shedding or breakage when I detangled and styled which was good. I will absolutely be repeating this mask. I am thinking of rotating between this and an egg mask. One or the other each month.
