Did you know that you can use avocados for hair care?  This is an all-natural way to strengthen hair, add shine, and reduce hair loss.  One way to use it is to make a conditioner out of it.  Simply blend the following ingredients:

• Two tablespoons of Avocado oil
  
• Two tablespoons of Olive oil
  
• One tablespoon of honey
  
• Three tablespoons of natural yogurt (no sugar or sweeteners)
  

Massage this into your hair and scalp after washing and let it sit for about 20 minutes.  Avocado oil can also be used as a face moisturizer.
