Do you use Avocado in your hair?
Well, I’m starting to do it more💚

Came across this great article on the benefits of Avocado in hair and below are a list of benefits and why: (read full article in link)

🥑Nourishes and strengthens hair: "Avocado is loaded with potassium and amino acids, revitalizing and deep-conditioning coarse, dry hair," comments Chen.

🥑Smooths hair and boosts shine: According to Friese, potassium and magnesium, two minerals found in avocado, may lock in moisture, thereby improving hair's texture and shine.

🥑Encourage hair growth/prevent hair loss: "Avocados can unclog the hair follicles and stimulate hair growth. When massaging it into your scalp, you’re promoting blood flow and unclogging any blocked follicles while allowing the natural oils to get absorbed quickly," explains Chen. Also, the potassium in avocado can contribute to a healthy head of hair: "Potassium helps to regulate fluid balance inside and outside cells in the blood and is required to prevent hair loss," says Joseph.

This is the first time I used a egg in my hair mask even though I know all the benefits that egg does to hair.

Eggs are packed with numerous nutrients, from vitamins D, B, and A to iron to protein. In fact, the protein found in eggs is of the highest quality you can find in any food.

Here are a brief summary of nutrients found in eggs that benefit hair:

☑️ Protein. Nourishes the hair roots, which encourages growth.
☑️ Fatty Acids. Give your hair a natural glossy shine.
☑️ Potassium. Heals dry, damaged hair.
☑️ Vitamin A. Prevents hair breakage.
☑️ Vitamin D. Prevents hair loss and balding.
☑️ Vitamin B12. Promotes hair growth.
☑️ Calcium. Promotes hair growth and is important for the proper absorption of vitamin D.

Below are the ingredients I used for my mask:

🥚1 egg (for especially long or thick hair, use 2 eggs)
🍯 1/4 to 1/2 cup of honey
🥥 1 /2 cup of coconut oil
🫒 2 tbsps of olive oil

➰ I whisked the egg first then added the remaining ingredients together

➰ I parted my hair in sections and applied the mask then put on my plastic cap

➰ let it set for 1 hour🕑, rinse really good, shampoo and condition

Shoutout to my beautiful stylist Stephanie Lipsey of Replenish Salon….girl~ you put these crazy natural curls in slick formation with my deep side part ponytail with my natural hair….I could have easily worn my hair last night but it was my birthday and I wanted to be a little extra😜😜

Had a great wash and go today😍

Check out my products used below:

After I shampoo (not pictured), I:
1) spray my wet hair first with hydrating leave in spray which has black seed oil
2) use my detangling & conditioning conditioner (as another leave in~ I don’t wash it out)
3) mix the Mielle coil sculpting custard and Eco styling gel and twist hair

I normally air dry my hair but if I don’t have time, I would use my blow dryer or sit under dryer👍🏾
