Saw this video and thought it was interesting!  I have a spare avocado in my fridge so I might try this!

Well, I tried this last night!  I warmed it slightly in the microwave before applying it, and you probably want to do this in the shower because this stuff gets EVERYWHERE!  I had chunks of avocado all over the place! 

I only had time to leave it in for 30 minutes, which I don't think was long enough because I really don't see too much of a difference today.  It IS soft, but I can't tell if that's just from my regular shampooing and conditioning or from the mask, so I guess time will tell in a few days.

It was very easy to wash out, had no problems.  After I rinsed it out of my hair I tried a Brown Sugar Exfoliate http://www.longlocks.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1262831365/0#0 and then washed and conditioned as normal, and rinsed with cold water.
