To condition your hair, put mayonnaise on it, then put on a shower cap and spend an hour in the sun. It deep conditions it.

mayonnaise tip Comments By: anon very good   Works Comments By: Jane The mayo certainly leaves the hair shiny and soft but needs a good scrub to get rid of the smell   why not try this? Comments By: ruby mayo contains eggs and oil so why not try eggs and olive oil and avoid the rub and scrub for the smell.   mayo and egg Comments By: Spriggs m8 i put egg and mayo on my hair, it just left my hair feeling greasy and smelly, dont do it!   really works! Comments By: Jenn sounds gross, but truly works! i use mayo in my hair about 4 times a week! i have the softest, shiniest hair of anyone i know. i *always* get compliments on how beautiful my hair is! i usually shampoo my hair twice when washing it out, and leave my regular conditioner on for a few minutes. mayo on the hair is the way to go! also, i *never* smell like mayo since i wash twice. taking a little extra care of your hair is definitely worth it if you want model perfect hair!   best hair conditioner Comments By: Jenny Chu I've spent so much money on countless hair conditioning product and they haven't worked like mayo. Mayo is so cheap and really good for the hair. So silky smooth. No need to spend extra money. Oh, if you wash your hair properly with shampoo, the smell goes away. So don't worry about the smell.   so good Comments By: mary its too good , i have lenthy black , straight hairs and summer season make them dry , after using mayo my problem has gone.   don't foret Comments By: ::DFKLD Make sure to use a clarifying shampoo after this to get any buildup out   shampoo after?? Comments By: contemplating i want to this, but im worried if i dont shampoo after, my hair will be greasy and smelly...and if i do shampoo wont that just strip my hair of whatever the mayo did to it/ put in it, and just defeat the whole purpose?   mayo as conditioner Comments By: Oh I used to think my hair was too oily and didn't like the feel after using mayo as a conditioner. Here is what I came up with and it works: First, put mayo on your hair, put on plastic cap, leave in for 15 - 30 mins. Second, shampoo with a moisturizing shampoo. Last, condition with what ever conditioner you use. I am black and have dry, coarse hair so I use Pantene's Relaxed and Natural Conditioning mask for 1/2 hr. My hair feels great after this routine, which I do once per week.   mayo works for me Comments By: janna I have 3c hair and I do use mayonnaise as a hair conditioner. However, I put a different twist on it to get optimal results. I mix equal parts of mayo,a regular hair conditioner and a well beaten egg. I then put a shower cap or plastic bag on. I leave it on for hours.   Mayo as hair conditioner Comments By: T.Jones I have read all the great comments about using mayo as a conditioner. The next time I was my hair I will try it...then post my results   chemical free conditioner Comments By: liz m I use only one conditioner - the Peppermint Herbal Conditioner from Made from Earth. I dont need to use anything else - I apply the conditioner and let it sit on my hair while I shower. After that I comb out my hair and rinse, voila I'm done and my hair is soft and moisterized. You can find the company at http://www.madefromearth.com/ I am concerned about parabens and chemicals so I use the Made from Earth Peppermint conditioner as a substitute for many things in the shower. I use this instead of shaving creams always, my legs, and arm pits are grateful. I am big on exfoliating and in winter after I shower, I add baking soda to the Made from Earth conditioner and apply it all over my body in a circular motion (paying attention to elbows, knees, hands, and feet) then do my final rinse. I do this once a week and I follow with shea butter or Extra Virgin Olive oil and this keeps my extra dry winter skin super soft, without chemicals and parabens. And it smells great, so no need for body sprays afterwards. Hope this helps.
