I saw these homemade beauty tricks in July's Cosmo magazine and had to share:
To give hair extra shine, try Victoria Secret model Selita Bank's avocado recipe. She mashes up half an avocado and applies it to hair like a mask. A few minutes later, rinse off. Banks, who is from the Cayman Islands, says women there use fresh produce on their hair and bodies all the time.
Anna Kournikova says women in her native country (Russia) boost fine hair by slathering on a mask made from dark bread soaked in beer.

Oh, for pete’s sake! — If you put the avocado on some good bread and have that nice sandwich with some good beer, you won’t give a rat’s butt about your hair! Let’s face it, if it were that simple, hair care companies would come out with it! And do you want your hair to smell like bread and beer? And how does avocado do on blond hair? I don’t like hair in my food, so I doubt I’d like food in my hair….
