How to Make Your Hair Shiny and Soft Naturally

Add shine and softness to your hair, naturally.

Make your hair look and feel its best with a moisturizing mask. You don't have to look any farther than your kitchen for an excellent treatment option -- mayonnaise. If your hair is extra dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey for a boost of nourishment.

Things You'll Need

• Mayonnaise
• Shower cap or plastic wrap

Instructions

1. Scoop about 1/3 cup of mayonnaise into a bowl. Use a little less for short hair and a little more for long hair.

2. Work the mayonnaise through your hair, making sure it goes from roots to tips.

3. Pull your hair back, loosely twist it and pile it on top of your head. Cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic wrap.

4. Leave the treatment in place at least 15 minutes.

5. Rinse the mayonnaise out and then shampoo and condition as usual.

Tips & Warnings

• Mayonnaise also moisturize the scalp
