If you’re hurtin for your favourite brand name hair and skin products, but can’t find them in your location, it might be time to travel off the beaten path. Non-label and natural products can prove to be just as good (if not better) than the familiar label stuff. Give it a try starting with one of the world’s most useful fruits.

Yet another rave from the D.R. is Miss Key Aloe Vera and Avocado Treatment Conditioner. With the double-power of aloe vera and avocado extracts, this conditioner helps to repair fragile hair that has been damaged by the sun, hair dryers, blow dryers, curling irons, and other heat styling tools. It also helps to promote strong, soft, and shiny tresses.

Burt’s Bees Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Hair Treatment is amazing for the simple fact that it’s great for all hair types! Besides containing avocado oil as well as protein and amino acids, this luscious treatment also contains rosemary, almond oil, and nettle extract, all ingredients to promote soft, healthy, and thriving hair, no matter if it’s straight, coily, oily or dry! Burt’s Bees products are also available in numerous locations around the globe (Including Korea)!

Probably the most important, as well as the most widely available product mentioned in this article is all natural avocado oil. Not only is avocado oil the key ingredient for most avocado-based hair and body products, but it is also a healthy substitute for other types of cooking oils. Avocado oil is rich in Vitamins A, C, and E, and unlike other oils, when smoothed onto the body or hair, it will not leave you feeling like you’re simply covered in a layer of heavy slickness. Instead, this special oil seeps into the body or hair and acts like a deep moisturizer instead of simply a sealant. Also, this oil is great for cooking so you can usually pick it up in your local grocery store. On top of this, if any one product can be recommended for dry and curly or processesed hair (hard to find products for in certain places around the globe), this would be it! A simple spritz of water over the hair or post-wash and a small application of avocado oil will keep your tresses wonderfully soft. Use repeatedly after washes for great long-term effects!

Lucky enough to be expatriating to the Caribbean or Latin America? Keep your eyes open for this great conditioner, and keep in mind that Dominican hair products are some of the best manufactured products that you can find for dry or curly hair, particularly natural Black hair. Capilo, in particular, is rich in avocado oil and fatty acids which restores your hair’s elasticity and makes it incredibly soft.

The benefits of the consumption and bodily use of avocados has caught worldwide attention only recently.. However, the making of various “butters” for beauty and healing purposes has been a continental African practice for thousands of years. What happens when a new discovery meets an old tradition? One of the best skin and hair products on the market! Avocado butter now joins the ranks of pure cocoa and shea butters in its health and beauty benefits. Great for both a hair and body conditioner as well as a skin healer. If you’re lucky enough to be expatriating to South Africa, or living within an international community like New York City or London try to get your hands on the 100% pure stuff!
