Homemade Mayonnaise Hair Treatment

Mayonnaise makes hair healthy and shiny.

Mayonnaise hair conditioning treatments became popular in the 1950's as a cheap alternative to store-bought conditioners. They went out of vogue, but as natural and green hair care products have become popular, the old homemade hair treatments are gaining popularity again. The advantage to making your own mayonnaise is it doesn't leave a jarred mayo smell on the hair. Make your own mayonnaise and truly pamper yourself.

Things You'll Need

• Olive oil
• Eggs
• Plastic bag
• Shampoo

Instructions

Kitchen to Shower

1. Whisk one egg yolk with a half cup of olive oil in a mixing bowl at medium speed until it turns into mayonnaise.

2. Apply the homemade mayonnaise to clean dry hair.

3. Comb it through the hair. Wrap your head in a plastic bag and leave it on for an hour.

4. For an even deeper conditioning treatment, blow warm heat from a blow dryer on your head while it's wrapped in plastic. The heat helps open the hair pores and follicles.

5. Rinse and wash hair thoroughly.
