Food for thought, part 1

Avocado

My favourite complete fruit, why? Because it can do so much for you.

I don’t think many people understand how awesome avocados are because of the look and texture of it, i know when i first knew what it was i was scared at how green and gooy it looked, not to mention the slightly weird bitter aftertaste it sometimes has, but you learn to love right?

Avocado is great for you both internally and physically. It is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Folate, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, Copper and Potassium. I would describe it as a good fat, tho often mistaken for fat, it actually helps lower cholesterol! Woo..

The Vitamin E in Avocado helps improve the condition of your hair and increases its appearance and feel. (not to mention a butt loads of benefits for your skin, google it!)

Soo lets give it a try =D!

i mashed up an avocado and added a little bit of olive oil to make it more smoother

and i just smeared it all over my hair and rubbed it onto my scalp, i didn't have enough to make my hair completely wet and soggy, but i guess its alright.
anyways, i left it in there for 20 mins and washed it out.. then blow dried my hair..

i know you cant exactly tell with just one wash, seeing as i wash and condition completely the same, but i do notice a slight difference. i have a horrible thing with losing hair every time i run my fingers through my hair.. but my hair actually feels a little more stronger?? (i don't know how to describe it)
but it does feel as frail as it usually does after a light blow dry.
