[12/22, 12:26 PM] Baby: AVOCADO OIL
You know that avocado is good for your health because of all the wonderful nutrients it contains. It turns out that those nutrients can also do wonders for your natural hair. Packed with vitamins A, Dand E, as well as B vitamins and protein. Avocado oil is commonly used as a carrier oil for essential oils.
Vitamin E is a good ingredient because it strengthens the hair follicles and repairs damage caused by harsh chemical treatments.
Vitamin B provides nourishment to your hair follicles and prevents a flaky scalp.
This healthy oil is known as a superfood because of these essential ingredients.
Benefits Of Using Avocado Oil For Your Natural Hair Are:
1. Avocado oil can effectively detangle your hair. Avocado oil acts as a lubricant that keeps your hair from getting tangled.
2. Avocado oil can penetrate scalp and correct the condition that is causing the dandruff and dry scalp .
3. Avocado oil is a light weight hair oil. It penetrates through the hair and scalp without leaving your hair greasy or stiff. After you apply avocado oil to your hair, you will notice that it is soft, silky and shiny.
4. Avocado oil effectively moisturizes your hair.
The benefits of using avocado oil are endless. The best way to determine how avocado oil will benefit you is to do it yourself!
You can use it alone or look for hair care products that contain it.
[12/22, 12:26 PM] Baby: How To Make Avocado Oil:
If you want to extract oil from the avocado itself, you will need a large amount of avocados.
Start with like twelve avocados.
1. Slice the avocados around the pit in half. Then separate the halves and get out the pit (remove the seed).Use a spoon to take out the fruit of the avocados and put them into a blender or a food processor.
2. Use the blender to make a puree (smooth paste) out of those avocados! It has to be like a paste, with no chunks. You can also mash the avocados with your hands if you don’t have a blender.
3. When you have your thick paste, spread the avocado on a baking tray or stainless tray. The layer has to be even or well spread but don’t make it too thick or thin.
4. Take the tray and put it in the sun to dry. It may take up to two days. If you don’t want to wait, then put the tray in the oven and set the temperature to more than 50°C.
Note: It may take up to 5 hours to dry the avocado in the oven. You also have to check it every hour and make sure that it is drying, not baking. If the avocado is turning black, it is time to take it out.

How to extract oil from avocado through
cooking.
You will need twelve avocados again. Peel them the same way as we did in the previous option.Use the blender or your food processor to make the avocado puree.
1. When you’ve done all the mentioned steps, it is time to start some cooking. Take your blended puree(smooth paste) and put it into a pot. Put the pot on a stove and turn the heat on “medium”.
2. Don’t forget to stir the avocados. You should do this every five minutes.
Note:
The avocado will start to boil. You will notice that there will be oils on the top of the mixture. Don’t worry and don’t try to get the oils right away.
3. Cook and stir the mixture until it’s dark green or brown. You will also notice that the water has evaporated.
4. The next steps are the same as in the previous
option - take a clean, thin cloth and put the avocado mix into the cloth. Make it like a sack, put a bowl under it and squeeze the oils into the bowl. Then pour them into a bottle and eventually clarify the oil.
[12/22, 12:26 PM] Baby: 5. Take the avocado out of the oven. Use a spatula (wooden spoon) to get the avocado out of the tray and put it into a thin cotton cloth.
6. Take the cloth and pitch the corners together making a sack. Squeeze the avocado oil into a bowl.
7. Pour the avocado into a bottle. Let it sit for a few days and then clarify it to ensure no particles inside.
[12/22, 12:26 PM] Baby: The result is an enriching oil with a greenish yellow colour. You shouldn't have any bits of avocado pulp if using the correct thin cloth or cheese cloth. Strain again if you do.
