This intensive treatment combines macadamia oil with honey's humectant properties and avocado's vitamins to deeply repair stressed hair.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons macadamia oil
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- ½ ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 tablespoon coconut milk
- 5 drops ylang ylang essential oil
Method
- Blend: Mash the avocado until completely smooth with no lumps. Mix in the macadamia oil, honey, coconut milk, and essential oil until you have a uniform paste.
- Apply: Section dry, unwashed hair. Apply the mask generously from mid-lengths to ends, working through with fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
- Wrap: Pile hair on top of your head and cover with a shower cap. For best results, wrap a warm towel over the cap.
- Wait: Leave on for a minimum of 1 hour, or ideally overnight (protect your pillow with an old towel).
- Rinse: Wash out thoroughly with lukewarm water and a gentle shampoo. Condition as normal.
Results
Hair will feel noticeably softer and more manageable after a single treatment. For severely damaged hair, use weekly for a month, then monthly for maintenance. The macadamia oil helps seal split ends and restore the hair's natural lipid layer.
