Natural Avocado Hair and Face Masks

Dry, flaky summer skin or damaged hair? Okay, let's get to business. 

Here are two great recipes I found and they work wonders for your skin and hair.

The first recipe is for your skin. 

Ingredients:

1/2 Avocado, pitted

1 tsp honey

2 Tbs hot water

Directions:

Dissolve the honey in the hot water by stirring it. Add this mixture to the avocado and combine ingredients until smooth. You can use a fork or a mixer. 

I used a fork, and it took a few minutes to mix up.

Apply the mixture to your face. Make sure you coat your face with a thick enough mask.

Set a timer for 10-20 minutes until the avocado has dried and then rinse the mask off. It's best to rinse off the mask in the shower because it is a little messy,

A little frightening, but I look like a ninja turtle "chya chya." 

The second recipe is the hair mask. This one is strictly for your hair, the other one can be added to the hair mask, if you do not have enough.

Ingredients:

1/2 Avocado, pitted

1 Tbs Honey

1 TbsAvocado oil

Directions:

Put ingredients in mixing bowl and mix on high until combined and smooth. You want this to be completely smooth or you will have trouble getting the clumps of avocado out of your hair. I don't know too many people who like green chunks in their freshly washed hair.

Distribute the mixture throughout the hair. Use only on tips of hair first then apply the rest to the roots. The tips tend to be the most damaged because they've been around much longer than the hair closer to the scalp.

Enjoy!
