Avacado Oil

Once I understood the whole "YouTube" craze, I started to search for videos pertaining to natural hair care. There are a lot of on there that tell you nothing - some tell you how to style your hair up...and some tell you about their home made products.

I was watching a few videos that discussed mixing up oils, avocados, molasses, etc and decided to try it out. Well, I guess it was fine - my hair didn't feel extra soft or anything, but then again, my hair is normally pretty soft anyway. At any rate, from that little experiment I had a lot of avocado oil...so after making some fish and some rice using it, I thought - hey, maybe I'll just moisturize my hair with it.

I had a lot of time on my hands, so I pour a little in my palm rub both of my hands together and then apply to sections of my hair. After I was satisfied with the amount I had in that section, I braided that section up and moved on to the next section. Eventually, I got done with my how head - and the braids looked crazy, but I wasn't going anywhere - so who cares.

I slept with my hair like that - I should have put my bonnet on, but I didn't. Anyway, the next day I took the braids down and washed my hair with the Kinky Curly - come clean shampoo...and then the knot today...and finished up with the curling custard -

I was happy with my results! My curls were super defined and my hair looked moisturized - had a great color to it...dark brown/black...not that ash grey color you get when your hair isn't healthy. Anyway, just wanted to add that information to the blog...
