You should treat your hair to a rich hair mask at least once a week. But purchased hair masks and styling products cost a lot of money and you don't know what chemicals are in them. But don't worry - you don't have to invest in expensive cosmetic products straight away. Hair masks made from natural ingredients such as the popular avocado hair mask are very rich in vitamins and nutrients and are easy to make yourself. We have prepared 3 easy avocado recipes here!
