Don’t knock it until you try it! Avocados are another power hair food that can benefit your tresses in numerous ways. This week we have decided to write about a few foods that can be applied to your hair to help give it a powerful boost.

Here are just a few of the many benefits that can be derived from avocados:

• moisturizes dry hair
• smooths the hair shaft
• cuts down frizz
• repairs hair damage

Avocados contain oils that are very similar to the oils that our skin produces which is why the moisturize provided is so perfect for our tresses. This power hair food is also great for our curly/wavy hair girls who wish to gain a little more control of their strands. Since avocado smooths the hair shaft, frizz is decreased giving hair more manageability.

So then, how can this food be utilized on hair? Take a very ripe avocado and mash it up well in order to form a deep conditioning treatment. Apply the mashed avocado to your locks and let it sit for half an hour before rinsing. There you have it ladies, sometimes the best products are found in nature!
