Avocado is a fruit full of the famous “good fat” thanks to the lipids and monounsaturated fats it contains. In addition, avocado also has essential nutrients, such as: vitamin B, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, manganese, phosphorus, copper, potassium and zinc, as well as antioxidants, which prevent aging.

9 homemade recipes for hydration with avocado

1 – Very dry hair

Dry hair can be caused by several factors. Frequent hydration, basic care and suitable products are the best way to treat this problem. Here’s powerful hydration if your hair is looking dry:

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons of well-mashed ripe avocado;
• 3 tablespoons of the hydration cream/mask of your choice;
• 1/2 dessert spoon of vegetable oil (example: almond oil, olive oil, castor oil, etc.);
• 1 dessert spoon of vegetable glycerin (optional).

Application

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl;
2. Apply the mixture to clean, damp hair.
3. Leave it on your hair for 20 minutes.
4. Rinse and apply conditioner to your hair as normal.

PS: If you choose to use glycerin, you need to check that the relative humidity in your city is above 75%. Glycerin works by “pulling water” from the environment, so if the environment is very dry, it will pull water from your hair. This way, the effect may end up being the opposite, causing dryness.

If the relative humidity is below 75%, simply wrap a wet towel around your head after applying the mixture. It is also worth spraying water on a cap and placing it on your head, also after application.
