Heavy-duty Conditioner

The moisturizing properties of the avocado and the conditioning elements of mayonnaise (oil, vinegar, and egg) make this combination an ideal conditioner for dry, brittle hair. Store in a glass or plastic container in the refrigerator.

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 avocado, peeled and mashed

In blender or food processor, combine mayonnaise and avocado until smooth. Massage mixture into hair and scalp. Cover hair with shower cap and leave on 20 minutes. Wash out with gentle shampoo.

    I've tried the mayo, never the avocado. Thanks for the tip! My hair needs all the conditioning it can get!
