HAIR MASKS
Avocado masks are easy to make at home, and you may already have all the ingredients you need in your kitchen.
AVOCADO BANANA HAIR MASK
Use all natural ingredients to create a hair mask to moisturize your hair and scalp, add shine and repair damage, all while strengthening hair and leaving it clean.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 avocado ripe
- 1/2 banana
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Combine water and vinegar in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup and set aside.
- Combine avocado, banana, egg, and oil in blender or food processor. Puree until no clumps are present.
- Massage prepared mask into scalp and comb through hair with fingers or a wide-toothed comb. Cover hair with shower cap and leave in for 20-25 minutes.
- Rinse hair with COOL water and wash normally with regular shampoo in lukewarm water. (You may need to wash hair twice to remove all of the hair mask.)
- After shampooing rinse hair thoroughly and then pour vinegar/water mixture over hair. Let vinegar sit on hair for 1-2 minutes then rinse and condition as normal.
Notes
Note: Makes 1-2 hair masks depending on how long and thick your hair is.

AVOCADO & COCONUT OIL MASK
This mask is for hair growth. For best results, apply avocado masks to dry hair. Avocado hair masks are oil-based, so wet hair will repel the oil and won’t penetrate as deeply as it will on dry hair.
Ingredients
- 1 avocado ripe
- 2–3 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- For smooth, shiny hair, use a fork to mash one full avocado in a bowl.
- Add coconut oil, starting with 2 tablespoons, and mix together
- Apply from the tips of your hair and work your way up to the scalp.
Notes
Coconut oil has been shown to absorb easily into hair and protect the strands from outside damage. You can add more coconut oil if you prefer more of a liquid mask.
