There are many great benefits of avocado – one is that it’s rich in good fats that moisturise your hair. It’s also well absorbed by the hair shafts and scalp.

Bananas are another natural moisturiser. The vitamin A content in bananas helps to restore lost moisture and repair damaged, dull, and dry skin.
