Bring luster back to your dried out "winter hair"

Women to Women | Women's health, naturally.|



Looking to bring luster back to your dried out "winter hair"? Try this moisturizing hair mask! With only three ingredients, this recipe is easy to make:

1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup condensed coconut milk
3 teaspoons of olive oil or coconut oil (if you have almond oil on hand, this works, too!)

In a microwave-safe dish, mash avocado with the end of a whisk. Add the coconut milk and oil, whisking rapidly until mixture is blended and smooth. Place dish in the microwave for thirty seconds to warm (test to make sure it is not too hot). Apply mask from roots to ends, taking time to massage into your scalp. Leave on for 30 minutes before shampooing as usual.

The magic of this mask? Oil can help soften dry, brittle hair. Avocado contains hair-friendly nutrients, including vitamins A, C, E, iron, potassium, and pantothenic acid. Coconut milk is prized for its ability to bring moisture to flyaway hair and dry, flaky scalps. In other words, your hair is in very good hands!
