Scoop one small jar of real mayo into a bowl. Mash up one small avacado. Mix the two with your hands or a potato masher until they are well mixed and a nice green color.
Spread the mayo mixture on your hair -- or just the ends if you have long hair. Put a shower cap or plastic wrap oover your head. Leave on for 20 minutes then rinse with warm water. -

Whip one egg yolk, one avocado, and a few tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl. Apply to your hair for 15 minutes for a quick condition.

Experiment with other combinations now that you know the basics. Mayonnaise is good for silkening, as is oil (such as a mix of water and warm oil) and eggs. Add a drop of an essential oil, such as lavender, to a homemade conditioning treatment. Eggs and yogurt provide a protein boost to your hair, and apple cider vinegar and distilled water add glossiness.
