You will need
- ½ ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 drops lavender oil
The ritual
- Mash the avocado until completely smooth.
- Whisk in olive oil and honey to a silky cream.
- Work through damp hair from mid-length to ends.
- Wrap in a warm towel for 20 minutes.
- Shampoo gently and air-dry.

Glow tip ✦ Blend instead of mash for a salon-smooth texture.
Storage ✦ Make fresh and use the same day — avocado browns quickly and doesn't keep.
Allergy check ✦ Avocado can cross-react with latex allergy. Sensitive scalp? Leave out the lavender oil.
Safety ✦ Patch-test on your inner wrist first. For external cosmetic use only — not medical advice.
Common questions
How often should I do this mask?
Once a week is plenty for dry or colour-treated hair.
I have fine hair — will it get greasy?
Apply from mid-length to ends only and shampoo twice at the end.
