Mayonnaise Hair Treatment Recipes

Steps:

• Scoop out avocado into a medium bowl, and use a fork or potato masher to mash well.
• Add the mayo, and combine well.
• Smooth this mixture over your hair, concentrating only on dry areas and ends.
• Wrap your head with a plastic shower cap or plastic wrap.
• Let conditioner work for about 20 minutes for an ultra deep conditioning, about half as long for a less intense treatment.
• Rinse your hair very well with cool water, until the entire mixture is rinsed out.

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients together in a bowl.
• * If possible use room temperature mayo - if not, let mixture warm up to room temperature*. **If you are in a rush and just can't wait - microwave the mayo for 15 seconds - but be careful - if you nuke it too long it begins to separate**.
• Apply thoroughly through your hair adding extra at the ends.
• Pile on top of your head and cover with a plastic shower cap and then cover with a towel to keep in the heat from your head.
• Leave on for at least 10-20 minutes and then rinse out.
• Should make 1 to 2 hair treatments depending on the length of your hair.
• If you don't want to save the left over for another treatment use whatever is left over as a moisturizing face mask. Also can be used on dry elbow and knees (for best results, this should be used immediately after making and not saved. It will still work, but won't be as effective as when it's fresh).
• Do NOT shampoo afterwards, just rinse it really well. Do this on a day when you are not going to go out. Any oil that clings to your hair after you rinse it out, will continue to condition your hair until the next time you shampoo it out.
• *** for best hair conditioning purposes, use immediately after making without refrigerating first. The reason is, the fats and oil will penetrate your hair follicles better if it is not cold. Tip to remember for all hair care: Warm/Hot opens the hair follicles so that conditioner can penetrate deeper. And cold water closes the hair follicles. So after you shower your hair, after you rinse every thing out, rinse again with a blast of very cold water. The coldest you can possibly stand. This cold water blast will also make your hair super shiny!***.

Steps:

• Wet hair to prepare it for deep conditioning. Use warm water and wrap your hair in a towel until ready to apply the mayonnaise hair treatment. Scoop out two or three tablespoons of mayonnaise into a bowl. How much you'll need will depend on the length of your hair. For short hair, start with 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons. For medium length/shoulder-length hair, start with 2 tablespoons, and for long hair, scoop our 3 tablespoons. Apply the mayonnaise liberally to the scalp rubbing it in with the fingertips. Apply more mayonnaise along the length of the hair until all of the hair is coated. Wrap a plastic bag around the hair, being careful to keep the bag away from the face. The bag will trap the heat from your head allowing the mayonnaise hair treatment to work deep down. Leave the mayonnaise on for 20 minutes then rinse thoroughly.
