This kitchen staple is the perfect ingredient to make a DIY hair mask

Never know what to do with an over-ripe avocado? Don’t bin it! Instead, use it to make a DIY hair mask that will hydrate and restore dry hair.

Avocados contain natural oils that are super hydrating for dry hair, so using it in a mask is a great way to add shine. It’s also full of vitamins that are nourishing to the scalp and can help hair look healthier.

2. Wet your hair then spread the avocado from your roots to your tips.

3. Leave it in your hair for at least 15 minutes.

4. Shampoo your hair as normal then rinse with cold water.
