Parched Hair Masque - Self Magazine

Hi,I saw this topic and remembered a recipe I saw from Ouidad in the June 17 magazine. She recommends that you mix half an avocado with 2 ounces of plain yogurt and slather it on your hair. She recommends that you leave it on for 20 minutes and then rinse it out. I tried it and it works. Must be the avocado thing.Liz> Hi,> I have really been enjoying the talk started> by Jen's home formula which I intend to try soon.>> I found another interesting Summer Hair Masque> in the April 1998 Self Magazine under Beauty.> John Masters of the New York hair salon by the> same name gave Self mag his own personal parched> hair home treatment.
