AVOCADO OIL
'Persea gratissima'
Avocado Oil is great for dry curly hair.
Packed with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and essential fatty acids, Avocado oil promotes fabulous hair from the inside and outside.
This oil helps to add strength, shine and condition to the hair. Avocado oil penetrates the hair shaft, leaving the hair feeling soft and manageable. It also seals the cuticle, locking in moisture and preventing breakage.
The oil is also said to help protect against UV rays as the high proportion of mono-saturated fats provide a protective layer over the hair providing some natural sun protection.
Avocados (Persea gratissima, Persea americana) are the fruit of a subtropical tree, native to Mexico and South America. Cold-pressing the flesh of the avocado fruit makes avocado oil. It takes around ten fruits to produce one teaspoon of this rich nourishing oil.
