Mayonnaise Hair Treatment

When you wish to care for your hair, nothing works effectively than natural ingredients. Products that have olive oil and eggs present in mayonnaise, have been used for hundreds of years as natural hair treatment. Mayonnaise treatment for hair has the ability to deep condition dry, flaky hair and heal breakage. Mayonnaise hair care is inexpensive and helps keep your hair soft, shiny, and strong. Plus mixing up a mayonnaise hair treatment solution is really easy and takes only a couple of minutes.

Olive Oil and Mayonnaise

For damaged hair, this next homemade recipe works wonders on frizzy, dry hair. Although, mayonnaise already contains olive oil in it, adding enough olive oil from the top works just fine. You can also use almond oil in the solution if olive oil is not available.

• In a bowl, pour at least half a jar of mayonnaise.
• Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix the ingredients properly.
• Break an egg yolk in the bowl and add one tablespoon of lemon juice. (If you're a blonde, use lemon juice. If you're a brunette or redhead, use apple cider instead).
• Whisk everything together and apply over freshly washed damp hair.
• Wear a shower cap for about half an hour and then thoroughly wash your hair with cold water.

Avocado and Mayonnaise

Along with mayonnaise, even avocado works as an intense deep conditioning treatment for hair. When your hair is really dry and needs some serious enriching effects, use this avocado and mayonnaise treatment for hair.

• In a bowl, scoop out half ripe avocado and mash it with a fork.
• Add a cup of mayonnaise in the bowl and mix the ingredients properly.
• Apply the mixture directly over the hair and concentrate more on the split ends and dry area.
• Place a shower cap or saran wrap over your head and let the mixture condition for about half an hour.
• Now rinse your hair under cool water and get the mixture out properly. When you touch your hair, you will feel that it's really soft and smooth.

Egg and Mayonnaise

As mentioned above, mayonnaise already contains olive oil as an active ingredient, so, the next recipe is made only with eggs and mayonnaise to rejuvenate and moisturize fragile hair.

• Apply it thoroughly in your hair, near the roots, and the ends.
• Wear a shower cap or warm towel over your head. Leave it on for about 20 minutes.
