Avocado Oil for Hair & Skin



Avocado oil has been a great moisturizer for my skin. I have extremely dry skin and suffer from Eczema. Whenever I touch my face with my hands I break out. It never fails.

I also use this oil as a sealant in the LOC method for my hair along with other oils. It’s also great on my dry scalp. The monounsaturated fatty acid content in avocado oil is higher than in extra virgin olive oil and is one of the main reasons this oil is good for your hair. This fatty acid can moisturize, nourish, and strengthen your hair strands, improving the look, the feel and protecting them from damage. The Monounsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols, and high levels of antioxidants like vitamin E, are well absorbed by the scalp and hair shafts. This is highly moisturizing and protective against environmental stress and it may stimulate new growth and help unclog blocked follicles. Massaging avocado oil into your scalp stimulates circulation and allows it to penetrate deeply, stimulating new growth..
