Avocado
Avocado The beloved ingredient is more than just a delicious topping for toast or dip for chips. Loaded with healthy fats, it's choice for hydrating both your strands and your scalp. Use it in Wolfer's simple hair mask recipe, which uses half of a ripe avocado, half a cup of full-fat sour cream, and a teaspoon lemon juice. (Is it just us or does that sound very delicious?) Mash the avocado until smooth before mixing with the sour cream and lemon juice. Slather the mixture directly onto your scalp, pop on a shower cap and let it sit for 20 minutes before shampooing and conditioning. Along with all those fats in the avocado, lactic and citric acids in the sour cream and lemon juice gently exfoliate your scalp, creating the ideal environment for healthy hair growth.
