Mayonnaise for Soft, Shiny Hair
Okay, for once I’m not completely on board with a tip. Because while there are lots of people who said they’ve had great success with using mayonnaise as a hair conditioner, there have also been accounts of this method being gross, stinky, or just plain useless.
If you want to try this for yourself, do note that you’ll have to use only REAL mayonnaise, and not a salad dressing substitute (like Miracle Whip). And since none of this mayonnaise will go to your thighs, reach for the FULL FAT ones while you’re at it.
Step 1: Get full-fat, real mayonnaise. Not the low-fat/diet variety.
Step 2: Put a healthy glob of the mayo on your palm and slowly work this through clean hair. It’s fine to put it on damp hair, and might actually make it easier for you to work the mayo in.
Step 3: Put on a shower cap if you have long hair so that you don’t get mayonnaise all over your floor/couch/clothes/other people/pets etc.
Step 4: After a good solid hour, wash the mayo off with regular shampoo and cold water. Shampoo thoroughly because leftover mayonnaise in hair is not a good idea. Shampoo twice is best. Towel gently and let your hair dry on its own.
how many times a week i use mayonaise on my hair?
how many times should i use mayonaise on my hair should i use it till i see if it works for me
I usually do it once or twice a week. I also mix it with 1 egg, some essential oils (jojoba & almond) and organic milk and leave it on for about 1-1.5 hours. My hair is exceptionally soft and shiny afterwards, I love it!
Awesome… and thanks for sharing your recipe!
Excellent post! I’m a huge fan of using mayonnaise as a deep conditioning treatment and find that it works wonders for my hair. Highly recommend shampooing afterwards because the smell isn’t exactly great and also keeping the hair mayo separate from food products so that there’s no contamination.
just used mayo on my hair! And wow it has a great result!:) got shiny, silky, soft and manaegable hair. Love it!
I just put the plain mayo alone, left it on my hair for 5hrs for my hair is soo frizzy, got lots of split ends, easily break and it flies away. Wrap it with a plastic. After 5hrs, I washed it, using a baby shampoo for its mild not to strip of what the mayo did on my hair and to remove the scent of mayo and its really WOW! The 5hrs is worth it!
