Kourtney Kardashian’s Secret for Shiny Hair Is in Your Kitchen
The Kardashian sisters may have ownership, but Kourtney is at the helm of the pint-sized fashion line. Since debuting their kids-only line in 2014, the trio has expanded Kardashian Kids to include toddler sizes instead of solely catering to babies up to 24 months.
According to Naomi Campbell, Kim Kardashian West and Kourtney Kardashian, extra-long, pin-straight hair is the look of the moment — either pulled back into a ponytail or simply hanging down your back. And while many stars have achieved the waist-length look thanks to a few sets of extensions, Kourtney’s “Cher hair” is all her own. The star shares her secret for keeping it healthy in a new video on her website.
Kardashian’s hairstylist, Andrew Fitzsimons, was so intrigued by the health benefits of Kourtney’s signature avocado smoothies that he decided to make a hair mask version of her mixture.
“Andrew does my hair pretty much every day, and we were talking about my smoothies that I have every morning, particularly my avocado smoothie,” Kourtney says about the inspiration behind their “hair smoothie.”

Fitzsimons explains that avocados are beneficial for the hair because it’s a natural detangler that coats the hair with a light oil, making it easier to comb through. He then adds lemon, which he says is antibacterial and helps with dandruff. For over-processed, heat-styled and colored hair, Fitzsimmons loves olive oil, which protects hair from heat damage.
The duo combines 1.5 avocados, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of manuka honey, and the juice from half of a lemon in a blender, and blends it together until it’s liquified. And if you don’t necessarily want your hair smelling like a “cobb salad,” Fitzsimons recommends adding a few drops of essential oil (he chose lavender), which will add a spa-like scent.
To reap the benefits of the mask, Fitzsimons recommends applying the mask, covering it with a shower cap, and leaving it on for about 45 minutes before rinsing.
