Five Fabilicious Hair Secrets : Make Your Hair Shine Naturally
All of us would like to have beautiful, silky, shiny hair. But like a number of other beauty secrets many of us do not know how to make our hair shine naturally.
You can do a great favor for your hair using real natural fruit – avocado. Avocado makes a wonderful hair conditioning treatment because it is rich in natural oils as well as vitamin B-6 and E. It is also packed with protein and has wonderful hydrating properties.
You can use mashed avocado alone or mix it with lemon juice and/or aloe or mayonnaise to make an easy to use paste. Apply your chosen mixture to your hair and then comb it through with a wide-tooth comb or a hair pick.
Wrap the hair with one of those wonderful Turbie Twist towels and let it sit for between 15 and 45 minutes. All that is left to then is to wash, rinse, and set. And,

Mashing an avocado and rubbing it into your hair for five minutes after washing will add luster to your hair.

Let the treatment sit on your scalp and hair for 20 minutes. Shampoo it out and dry your hair as usual.

Native Guatemalans have long used the Avocado to stimulate hair growth. Avocados are high in Vitamin E. And, Vitamin E is important for healthy hair growth and reducing hair loss. Avocados are high in sterols (also called plant steroids.)
It is the sterols in the avocado oil that help to heal the scalp and leave the hair with a superior moisturizing effect.
