How to Make Mayonnaise Shampoo

1. Boil the 1 1/2 cups of water.The easiest way to do this is to microwave the water on high for two minutes. Keep an eye on the water so that if it reaches a rolling boil before two minutes are up you can remove it from the microwave early.

2. Pour the water into the mixing bowl. Be careful not to burn yourself as you do so.

3. 

   Stir in the soap flakes and the glycerin. Do not use a mixer or you will end up with a foamy mess. Keep stirring gently until the mixture has a smooth and even consistency.

4. Mix in 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Continue to stir until the shampoo is creamy and smooth.

5. Store the shampoo in an airtight plastic container. It must be refrigerated when you are not using it, and should not be kept for over 10 days. You can use this shampoo with your regular conditioner or make a complementary conditioner to accompany it.
