Kitchen cosmetics // Hair Mask : Avocado cream

There are lots of way to make a homemade hair mask. The one we are going to make is made from three basic ingredients we have in the kitchen : Avocado, lemon and olive oil. This hair mask, avocado cream, is going to be nourishing, repairing and hydrating. Perfect, right?

Avocado

Avocado has many nutritional qualities.  And these qualities are very real for the inside of our body as well as for the external parts, hence this homemade hair mask.

It is not an original way of using it, but using avocado in cosmetics will bring rich properties to your hair mask : deeply nourish and protect the hair from drying out.

This can be caused by the hair dryer, pollution, shampoos and other treatments or quite simply by the wind and the sun.

Lemon

Lemon seems essential to me because it will make the hair shiny, alkalize the scalp and have an astringent action on the hair fiber.  It is also an exceptional ingredient in cosmetics, as it is in the kitchen or in the home !, so it could not escape this homemade mask.

Olive oil

Olive oil contains  oleic acid, palmitic acid, and squalene. These are all emollients, which means they have softening qualities. Olive oil adds shine, softness and resilience.
