Guapura 101: Guacamole For Beautiful Hair

So I was told recently that letting an avocado mush set on my scalp for a period of time would give me prettier hair. Turns out that, my auntie is not the only person to have heard about this home remedy. The basic recipe is: mash up half an avocado, maybe add some olive oil, and plaster it over your head, let it set for a while, then rinse and see the amazing results.

If you search the Internet you can find multiple “recipes” for such a mask, although most of them encourage you to apply the avocado mask only to your actually tresses — not your scalp like my auntie told me. I’ll try anything once, I guess. Among the different ingredients, aside from the obvious avocado, for this mask that I found:

• Olive Oil
• Yogurt
• Honey
• Egg
• Other Natural Oils

I even found this adorable video where the young woman suggests you use half the avocado with olive oil mixture for your hair, and the other half for a face mask. Thoughts?
