D.I.Y. Avocado Hair and Skin Mask

I have been noticing my hair has been really feeling the chill of winter and the ends have been very dry. So I took the opportunity today to make my own hair mask to help moisturize my hair and give it some shine.

I have a lot of hair and I also used it on my skin as well. My skin instantly felt smoother when I washed off the mask. Here's the recipe I made up:

1 whole avocado mashed (I have long hair and I used it for my body as well)
2 tbsp EVOO
2 tbsp Honey
1 (free run chicken) yolk :)

Mix it all up! try to get all the chunks out. I was too lazy to, as you can see! (sorry for the blurry pic!)

Apply in sections to your hair, and massage any left overs on skin.

before: not sexy =P

Wash it out well, seal your hair with a bit of vinegar (which I did not have lol). After I washed out all the avocado mixture, I went through my regular hair routine.

I usually start with Living Proof:

Then I will spray some heat protector of some kind. Then I apply some Ojon treatment for Blondes. (It's sparkly! I love it)

Then I add about a quarter-sized dollop of Macadamia oil.

And I will probably apply something to it tomorrow to smooth it all out but I didn't have to go anywhere today so I left it frizzy.

after: soft =D

All in all, I think that adding the DIY avocado mask to your routine about once a week would be beneficial, but does not replace professional products. I would use both. :)

hope this was somewhat helpful!
