Tips & Warnings

• You can condition your hair with mayonnaise as often as needed.
• In a pinch, white, creamy salad dressing can be used instead of mayonnaise Be aware that it contains lemon juice and may lighten your hair if you spend much time in the sun.
• Many people claim that homemade mayonnaise works better than store bought. Make blender mayonnaise by combining 1 egg yoke, 1/2 tsp. mustard, 1 tsp. white vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend these ingredients together on the slowest blender setting and slowly add approximately 3 ounces of olive or other vegetable oil.
