the recipe was easy enough. all i needed was an avocado, honey, and extra virgin olive oil. i had everything on hand except the avocado so i ran over to dillons. the instructions i had read online suggested that you mix everything together in a blender but i did not want to have to wash the blender so i just mashed it in a bowl! i'm lazy i know, but hey massing in a bowl worked!
i cut the avocado open and scooped out the insides into the bowl. i added a few squirts of honey and olive oil and then i started to mash it all together!
ok seriously doesn't that look gross?! and i have to put it on my hair? ewww! but i did it anyhow. i smoothed the mixture in my hair as best as i could. it was a little lumpy since i did not blend it but i don't think that was a big deal. after you smooth it all over your hair you are supposed to wrap your head in plastic wrap. that was pretty difficult because the plastic wrap was sticking to itself and my hair was dripping green goo but i managed and here was the finished product!
as you can tell i was thrilled, not! i went ahead and put a towel wrap over the plastic wrap because some green goo water was dripping down my neck and it was gross.
once i put the towel on it was so much better! i set a timer on my phone for 30 minutes. during this time i was invited to hang out with some friends. i actually had to use the excuse "i can't because i have to wash my hair." i felt lame but it was true!
after 30 minutes i hopped in the shower and rinsed the mask out. in the shower my hair felt rough, coarse, and very tangled. so i was not sure what was going on because i thought this was supposed to be a moisture treatment....so i proceeded to co-wash my hair with DevaCurl One Condition. my hair still felt very rough and dry but i didn't know what else to do.
i scrunched in the shower and then plopped my hair onto a towel. after about 10 minutes i added some DevaCare Arc anGEL and DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel. i plopped onto a new towel after adding the gels and slept with my hair in the towel.
in the morning i took my hair down and was pleasantly surprised that i had some curly hair going on!
this photo was actually taken at the end of the day but you get the idea.
so i felt like the avocado hair mask gave me more defined curls but they did not seem more moisturized. i didn't think my hair seemed overly dry the day after the avocado mask but i am still not sure if i will do it again.
so that was my experience with the avocado hair mask. have you done this to your hair? did you love it? hate it? did you use different foods in your recipe? let me know in the comments below!
