As for hair care, the avocado seed became popular some time ago for the anti-dandruff effect it had on the scalp.

How to prepare homemade tonic with avocado seed?
Beauty influencer and youtuber Wendy Natali revealed how she included the avocado seed in her own hair care routine. In addition, to improve the effects, she confessed that she used to accompany this treatment with potato skins. Normally we tend to discard these types of ingredients, but after knowing this treatment you will think twice before throwing them away.
Preparation:
To start with the preparation you will need the seeds of two avocados, regardless of whether they are fresh or dried. Cut them into small pieces and place them in a bowl. To have the second ingredient ready, wash two potatoes and remove the peel or skin from both. Thanks to this treatment you will also know that you can cook for lunch!
Add both ingredients into a hot pot, move them with the help of a spoon so that they absorb the temperature and then add two cups of water. Let it boil for 15 minutes and remove from the kitchen to let cool. Strain the liquid and pour it into a glass container to store it in the fridge.
After washing your hair with your usual routine and making sure it’s completely clean, you can start applying the toner. Detangle your hair very carefully and remove excess water before doing so. Pour the avocado seed and potato peel tonic into a spray bottle to make it easy for you.
Apply the homemade treatment all over your hair, from the roots to the ends, and let it dry on it. You can use a dryer on medium heat or leave it outdoors. Don’t take it back!
Caveat! Girls who have oily scalp cannot make use of avocado seed and potato peel toner as it can worsen sebum production. If you want to see better results, apply it every time you wash your hair.
