Hair: Avocado Hair Mask

About 8years ago a friend came over to my house with a green gooey substance on her forehead.

It seemed to be dripping from under her super sized headscarf, so I told her something was trying to escape from her scarf.
She laughed and pulled it off to reveal a bright green conditioner of some sort...intrigued I asked her what she had in her hair.
She told me it was an avocado hair mask, she was doing a deep conditioning treatment.

I already knew avocado oil is great for my hair so I looked into fresh avocado.

A few days later I met up with the same friend and she told me to feel her hair. It felt like velvet, it was super shiny and it smelled great too.

I didn't ask for her recipe as we're all different and I know what ingredients my hair likes.

A few days later I bought some avocado and got to work on an avocado hair mask/deep conditioner perfect for my hair.
I haven't looked back since...I do this hair treatment weekly in the winter and bi-weekly in the summer.
My hair is loved it!
