Avocado contains vitamin D, which is crucial for the generation of new hair follicles. This means you can apply avocado to your scalp and throughout your hair without worrying about build up, weighing down your hair, or clogging your pores. This also makes avocado a great option for individuals with medium/low porosity and medium/low density hair, while still being a great option for high porosity or high density hair.
Avocado is extremely rich in oleic acid and monounsaturated fats, making it one of few oils that can actually penetrate the hair shaft and moisturize your hair, rather than sitting on top and coating your hair. These fats also strengthen the hair shaft and help prevent breakage. These monounsaturated fats also make avocado a great solution for individuals with dry or sensitive skin. Avocado is able to quickly penetrate into the second layer of the skin (the dermis), providing a deep moisturizing treatment to the scalp. Avocado also contains Vitamin E, which can reverse and heal damage done by the sun’s rays. Vitamin E also helps with general hair repair and protection.
