How to Make Avocado Conditioner

Moisturize your hair with avocado.

Commercial conditioners can sometimes do more harm than good to your hair, which is why natural, homemade conditioners are usually better for your hair. Use avocado weekly to restore moisture to your hair and keep it looking shiny and healthy. For an extra boost of protein, add an egg yolk to the avocado.
