If you are looking for a cheap and effective way to moisturize both your face and hair, a DIY avocado mask is perfect. The mask is useful in leaving your hair nice and soft. Although my hair is super damaged, so even after using the mask twice, I saw no NOTICEABLE improvement. Hopefully I will with more treatments, but we will see.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
♛ Half an avocado
♛ 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
♛ 1 teaspoon organic honey
♛ A bowl or plate
♛ A spoon
♛ A knife
♛ (Optional) Half a banana
PREPARATIONS:
- Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. You will only need half of an avocado. Save the other half for another time.
- Crush the avocado into the bowl or plate. If you have a blender, that may be easier and quicker.
- Put in the organic honey and extra virgin olive oil and mix well.
- Put the mask on your face and/or hair for 20-30 minutes
- Rinse well out of hair and shampoo as usual.
If you decide to use a banana, you just crush it like you would the avocado.
I found the smell pretty pleasant on its own, but I actually hate the smell of the organic honey so that made the concoction a tad unbearable.
A friend of mine from high school swears by extra virgin olive oil. So if you are too lazy to go through the hassle of making this entire mixture, you could just incorporate a bit of extra virgin olive oil into your hair or facial moisturizer. Her hair looks so ridiculously healthy, so I would try that if I could.

Natural way to make masks is the best way! :D
I've tried a hair mask with some of these ingredients, I remember using honey but things just got messy and sticky that I've never tried it again. The effects are pretty good but too much for me and my slightly long hair.
Ooh this is a simple little recipe! Thanks for sharing it ;) I look up "home remedies" on the internet sometimes, but I haven't found anything that has interest me. This sounds refreshing ;)
Thanks for sharing! I'm definitely too lazy to DIY a mask though so i think the olive oil tip is very helpful.
nice, i will have to try
thank you, i'll try that!
This is a great DIY I don't know how I would feel about putting oil on my hair though but if their isn't any noticeable difference I'm not sure if I would want to try this out :/
very rich in natural oils.
thanks for sharing this
sounds really great and it must be really good but of course you have to use the mask several times to actually see improvement
I think I need to try the olive oil on my hair but I always forget.
Whoo thanks for the recipe :D
great diy I'm gonna try this!
I've tried an avocado and egg white face mask and I felt that my skin was much smoother and softer. I haven't tried an avocado based hair mask since I love eating avocado so sacrificing one for my hair is hard for me. But I have tried an olive oil hair mask and a mayo-olive oil hair mask and I thought it made my hair a bit softer.
soumds like a great mask
