If you’ve searched Avocado Hair Mask, the chances are your hair is feeling dry.
Avocados are a popular choice for deep conditioning hair masks and with good reason.
Avocado is a powerhouse of fatty acids. Fatty acids add moisture to the hair and smooth the cuticle. That makes hair easier to work with and style.
Avocados contain linoleic and oleic fatty acids. Linoleic acid balances the scalp condition. Oleic acid helps your hair to retain moisture, making avocado oil perfect for fighting frizz.
With moisturising properties, the avocado makes hair easier to detangle. No wonder, the avocado hair mask is a favourite deep conditioner.
By adding moisture to dry hair, the avocado hair mask leaves hair shiny and soft.
Avocado, of course, is not just good for putting on your hair. Packed with fatty acids and vitamins C, D, E and B6, it’s a nutritious treat for your hair when included in your healthy hair diet.
You’ll see recipes for homemade avocado hair masks and deep conditioners across the web. Often they are mixed with oils and whilst they may leave the hair feeling nourished, they are not a long term solution.
As a hairdresser and salon owner for over 35 years, I know that moisture is vital for hair to look and feel its best.
Hair holds moisture in the cortex right at the centre of the hair. To get the right level of moisture into the cortex, products must penetrate the outer layer of the hair, the cuticle.
A homemade avocado hair mask can add moisture to the cuticle, the outer layer of the hair. But, anything you find in your kitchen won’t be small enough to penetrate the cuticle to give the cortex the moisture it needs to maintain hydration and elasticity.
A hair mask or deep conditioner needs to do more than add moisture to the outer layer of the hair.
Avocado oil is blended with active ingredients in my Restore and Shine Hair Masque. Developed and tested in my hair salon, this deep conditioner delivers deep moisture to the cortex whilst moisturising and smoothing the outer layer of the hair.

I write about all aspects of healthy, shiny hair. From preventing frizzy hair to stopping split ends and styling bob hairstyles I share my experience of how to get the best from hair.
Whether I’m working with hair, writing about hair or developing hair care products I stay true to 3 principles.
This is a principle I have adhered to all my hairdressing career and it gets the best results. I like to minimise the heat stress to hair from heated styling tools and take a simpler approach to styling. Over working the hair can leave it dry, damaged and flat. A simple approach is the best way to add volume to hair and keep hair looking and feeling smooth and shiny.
Moisture is the foundation of good hair care. Hair needs a routine of deep conditioning to stay frizz free and retain flexibility and strength. When it has moisture, hair elasticity is maintained, making hair easier to style.
Holistic in the context of hair care is about making sure we eat a healthy, balanced diet and that we feed our hair with nourishing products. Maintaining hydration in the body contributes to good quality hair growth. Using nourishing hair products ensures our hair can retain moisture.
You’ll see these principles threaded through my blogs. My goal is to share the simplest tools and techniques to give you easy ways to care for and style your hair at home.
