Alikay Naturals Avocado Cream Moisture Repairing Hair Mask is a core essential for all hair types. Let’s look into this go-to for repairing strands!
Worried your hair is damaged beyond repair? Don’t stress! This mask is here to save the day! This 2-in-1 mask and treatment provides deep, much-needed nourishment to each individual hair strand from root to tip.
Avocados contain beta-carotene, essential fats and vitamins B, C, E that provide vital nutrients needed for replenishing hair’s strength, moisture and shine. You’ll be left with moisturised hair that feels wonderfully soft and elastic with significantly reduced breakage. Less breakage = thicker and longer hair!
Texture
This mask is very different to most deep conditioners. Unlike the traditional thick and buttery feel of most masks, this deep conditioner has a mousse-like, aerated texture. Don’t be deceived by its unique texture! This powerful mask penetrates into the hair strand and hydrates deeply from within. The texture of this mask is very similar to Alikay Naturals Honey and Sage Deep Conditioner
2-in-1
This product can either be used as a hair mask (before washing hair) or hair treatment (after washing hair).

Ingredient highlights
Peppermint Oil: Stimulates the hair follicles to promote healthier hair growth. It soothes scalp irritation and inflammation.
Burdock Root: Reduces hair loss and relieves scalp irritation. Rich in fatty acids, improving blood circulation to hair follicles and roots.
Avocado Oil: Penetrates hair cortex to lubricate hair and improve elasticity to reduce breakage, improves detangling and moisturises dryness.
How can you use it?
Use on wet and detangled hair. Part hair into 2-4 sections. Apply product evenly from root to tip, being sure to cover all of your hair. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Rinse and style as usual. It’s also a great idea to use a plastic conditioning cap while the treatment is acting.
How I use it
I have long, coarse and tight curls. Between my coarse texture and being a Queenslander, my curls dry out easily and even can become brittle. I absolutely LOVE this mask because it transforms my dry hair and brittle curls completely while providing some much needed protein.
When using this deep conditioner, I like to clarify beforehand to give my curls a complete reset. Alikay Naturals Caribbean Coconut Milk Shampoo is convenient and does a good job at clarifying my curls without adding to their dryness. Once I’m out of the shower, I rake a generous amount of this mask through my hair. I allow this to sit for a little over 30 minutes.
Once it’s sat for 30 minutes, I rinse it out. I use this mask every second week. I alternate it with the Honey and Sage Deep Conditioner. I love this mask because it gives my curls a nice protein boost. Protein is extremely important for hair strength. Lack of protein = weak, lifeless curls! Since my curls are very long and thick, a proper protein moisture balance is crucial. This mask helps me achieve a perfect balance!
The result: strengthened strands
This mask works well at strengthening needy curls and providing lasting hydration. On top of transforming stubborn curls, this hair mask gives a definition boost to your curls for the rest of the week!
