Avocado also works on the dry and cracked and most used feet. What works on your feet will also work on your hands. And to make it more effective add some egg yolk to the avocado mixture to guarantee you with a moist skin. If you are a fan of sliced cucumbers, then you will also be a fan of avocado.

Then you are now ready to apply it to your hair as well as scalp. Make sure to cover every inch of your hair to maximize the treatment. Afterwards, do the basic washing of hair accompanied with shampoo.<\/span><\/p>\n
