Home made treatments

I had an avocado in the fridge that I had forgotten about and it was really ripe. I went back and forth on what to do with it. So good ole Google to the rescue and I decided to put it in my hair. I found a ton of recipes for hair avocado treatments and I had to start somewhere. I read about mayo, lemons, honey ( no thanks, tried that sticky mess before) eggs, Shea butter, olive oil coconut oil, etc. I settled on on olive oil and an egg. Now, just the white, just the yoke, both?? I tossed the whole thing in whipped it up with a fork and then applied it.  I had to put a plastic bag on my head too. I grabbed my lap top, glasses and sat on the couch  I told Tom don't judge. He didn't say a word and just kept looking over at me like I was an alien. He was trying to snap pictures of  me and I reminded him that he often falls asleep in the chair and anything is possible. About 15 minutes later he says "the lengths that you go to, to turn me on". Love you honey!

It was messy to put in as pieces of avocado kept falling out all over the counter. 20 minutes passed and I washed it and combed i out. It didn't  feel any different or any softer but I kept getting more chunks as I brushed and it smelled really woody. Not a good woody smell but more like a rotting log. My hair was soft but not SUPER soft. I will try it again someday but next time I will blend it to avoid the chunks and perhaps something that smells better.
