Hey sweetpea, when I was in Haiti, all my aunts with relaxed hair used to avocado deep-conditioning treatments all the time. They would let it kinda rot a little, u know, get really soft, then mash it up, apply it, keep it on for a long time, then wash it out... i dont know if they mixed it up with anything. we all had healthy relaxed hair back then, cuz no one used direct heat, hardly ever, and we had avocado and aloe in our backyard, so they did treatments with those... so yeah it was effective
