Ripe Avocado to temp-straighten natrual hair

[Teva]

I have a friend who introduced me to this board who swears that crushed ripe avocados helps to temporarily straighten her natural hair. Well, not straighten but it greatly loosens her natural curl.

Does any one else notice this?

thats not true. I use a mashed avocado to condition my hair occasionally and it does not straighten or loosen curls. It does soften the hair though.

Everyone's hair is different. I saw old thread on Henna where some people swore that it loosened the curl and some other people did not see a change.

All conditioners that I use gently loosen my curls. I always thought it was because of the weight of the conditioner residue on my hair.

But some do it better than others.

Anyone have an idea why conditioner can loosen curls?

Oh, I've used avacado and I liked it.

Babyblue what type of avocado do you use, smooth or wrinkled? And if you use the smooth one, where do you get those kind from?

I use the smooth one but im sure the wrinkled ones are good too. I get them from the supermarket around my way. they're not really hard to find.

avocado is hard to wash out.

I think that this was mentioned in the African Beauty Secrets thread. I have never tried this.

I wonder if adding avocado to coconut milk will help it to loosen natural curls even more.
