The Truth About Avocado for Hair
Share
You have been told that avocado is a super-food for your hair but here’s the problem... no matter whether it has been mashed, crushed or whipped into a creamy delight, raw avocado does absolutely nothing for your hair! It just sits on top, making a mess without nourishing your hair.
The real magic starts when it is extracted into cold-pressed avocado oil, which has a much smaller molecule than raw avocado meaning it can penetrate the hair and skin of the scalp infusing with an abundance of vitamins A, D, and E, plus fatty acids that hydrate, and strengthen hair.
How to Make Cold-Pressed Avocado Oil at Home
Feeling ambitious? Here’s how to do it:
- Mash ripe avocados into a smooth paste.
- Let it air dry for a few days until it darkens.
- Squeeze out the oil using a cheesecloth.
- Store in a dark glass bottle and use as a pre-shampoo treatment.
