DOES ANYONE USE AVOCADO??

[luvn_life]

I read that avocado is really good for the hair. I don't know why, but I guess it is. Does anyone actually use it?? What are some of the ways that yhou mix it?? How does your hair look afterwards??

Thanx!!!

I've considered it - esp. when I get a 'bad' one, but I'm usually too busy eating those (uncheap) bad boys to put them in my hair.

I've heard really good things about it, though.

I do.
I put it in my leave-ins.
(a bit of conditioner, water and avocado and sweet almond oil)

You can do oil rinses with it I suppose.
It's like shampooing with oil. I think. Here's the thread.

I tried to do an oil rinse and it was good for me. Haven't done it since though.

I use it on my face and hair. It's very light.

It has vitamin a, c and e,

Here's some links.

Yes but not in the classic vegetable form.

I avocado butter. It's great for hair and skin.

Never tried any of the butters...

but I'm itching to try the butter (shea, mango and avocado butter)...just to see how I'd like it.

Slightly OT: I just bought the mango butter this week though I haven't tried it yet.

Back OT: All three butters are great for hair and skin IMO

Cool.

Where'd you get it from? From Nature with Love?

I'm just getting into 'oil mixing' and such....and my thing is: What's the difference between the oil and butter?
Is the butter thicker? More concentrated.

I think I'd like the butter much better.
But seems to me like...if you were to melt it down---it'd be similar to an oil?
I dunno....
I'm in the midst of ordering right now . I may order some butter instead of oil tonight.
Just to see...

I do a fresh avocado prepoo every month. I get a ripe avocado (usually about $1 around my way), mash it w/a potato masher and add coconut milk, honey, evoo, evco, and sometimes a spoonful of mayo(if I use mayo, I t/o the leche de coco), stir it all together and apply to my hair w/a plastic cap for about an hour. It stinks, but my hair comes out so soft and shiny!

ETA: Kyna, you got my other baby daddy as your avatar...I don't know how I feel about that lol.

I'd heard that avocado is supposed to be really good for the hair so I bought a couple a few days ago. I just mixed a homemade conditioner using the following:

1 ripe avocado,
a few tbls of mayo
2 tsps of olive oil w/basil
1 tsp of sea salt
1 tsp. of lime juice
3 tsps. of coconut oil
1/2 c of milk

I'm going to leave in my hair w/baggy for 1 hour and then wash out.

I have done the ripe avocado, mixed with olive oil, coconut oil and put on a plastic cap for hours. I won't bother to do it again. My hair was just OK after doing it.

I prefer banana.

Avocado butter is good.

yes I use avocado oil, my hair loves it!

I use it as a sealant, I use it for pre-poo treatments, and add it to my condish mixes.
