How to Get Salon-Smooth Hair on a Budget

Use a homemade hair-nourishing treatment to get the smooth locks you want.

You don't need to spend a small fortune to get salon-smooth hair. Professional hair care products can make hair silky and shiny, but they can be quite costly. You can get silky smooth hair by whipping up a homemade hair treatment made from products that you probably already have in your kitchen. After you have used your conditioning treatment, you'll have lustrous hair, and money in your wallet.

Things You'll Need

• Egg
• 1/2 c. mayonnaise
• 1/2 c. olive oil
• Wide-tooth comb
• Plastic shower cap or plastic wrap
• Towel

Instructions

1. Crack an egg into a bowl and use a fork or wire whisk to whip it into a froth.

2. Add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and 1/2 cup of olive oil to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients together well. Eggs fortify and strengthen hair while mayonnaise and olive oil add silkiness and shine.

3. Pour the mixture onto your hair and work it into your hair and scalp with your fingertips or a wide-tooth comb. Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap or two layers of plastic wrap.

4. Dry your hair with a hair dryer for 10 minutes. The heat will open your hair shafts, allowing the treatment to penetrate them.

5. Wrap a towel around your head and wait 20 minutes.

6. Remove the towel and shower cap or plastic wrap. Wash and condition your hair. Rinse your hair with cold water, which will close the hair follicles, adding shine.

7. Air dry or blow dry and style your hair as usual.
