If you are secretly envying Kourtney Kardashian's shiny and silky hair, then you're in luck. Her secret to beautiful and healthy tresses? Avocado. More specifically, an avocado mask. Keep reading to learn three benefits of using an avocado for hair health and get Kardashian's hair mask recipe that incorporates the fruit.

Promotes Hair Growth
Avocados are full of vitamins B and E, and they work together at the hair's cellular level to protect and strengthen it. Vitamin B is essential in the reversal of hair loss and increases hair's strength, and vitamin E aids in repairing any damage that the scalp may have sustained. Using an avocado for hair treatments not only can enhance hair growth, but it will leave your hair silky and smooth to the touch like Kourtney's.

Revitalizes Hair
We all want hair that's shiny and bouncy all the time, but sometimes our tresses lack luster and may appear dull throughout our daily activities. However, by applying an avocado mask on a weekly basis, you can dramatically improve the texture and appearance of dull and lifeless hair. Hair masks that contain avocado not only enhance shine, but they also protect the layers of your hair, making it less brittle and prone to breaking.

Moisturizes Hair
A poor diet and ongoing stress can contribute to or even trigger excessive dryness of the scalp. When they're extremely dry, our scalps tend to flake and cause a massive amount of dullness to coat the hair. This is due to the fact that our hair and scalp lack the moisture they need to shine beautifully. Thankfully, using a mask with avocado in it may not only breathe new life into your hair, but it will also add moisture and shine to your hair. Using an avocado mask helps restore moisture to the scalp as well as to the inner layers of your hair follicles. Additionally, using avocado for hair care can cause the fruit to absorb into your scalp, which can create a highly moisturizing and protective environment for your hair, enabling it to look healthier over time with increased use.
