Avocados
The health benefits of avocados are becoming widely known, as everyone is on an avocado buzz!

The Berber Oil Mask is also a great option that combines Argan, Avocado and Olive oils, that nourish and give restoration therapy.
Here’s a tip: You can make an avocado mask by combining one avocado with an egg and add enough water to turn your concoction into a paste. Apply this to damp hair and leave for 20-25 minutes, then rinse out with warm water.
