Add shine: Rub on an avocado
If you want to get rid of your dull hair and want to add shine to it, then you can use avocado to achieve it. Avocados are rich in minerals, vitamins and essential fatty acids that can restore luster to your hair, as recommended by Stephen Sanna, expert colorist at the Pierre Michel Salon in New York City. To do this, mash a ripe avocado with one egg and apply it to your wet hair. Leave it for minimum 20 minutes and then properly rinse it off. Do it once a week for damaged hair and once a month for healthy hair.
