To get your hair the shinest it's ever been and to get it to feel GREAT, it is very good to put mayo on your hair and let it set for 10 to 15 minutes. BUT, you MUST completely rinse it ALL out! If you don't your hair will be more greasy than John Travolta's in 'Grease' and It will smell like my grandma's potato salad! So be careful and I hope my tip will help!

The mayo is in my hair right now, it smells so bad, but I hope it works! I had to use light mayo so I didn't get my hopes up too high.

My hair is damaged and dry due to overusing the straighening iron. I used the treatment today. Applied it to my hair, put a plastic bag around it, and a hot towel over the bag. I then rinsed it out with cold water and showered as usual(but double shampooed!). I used a little bit extra conditioner so it would smell good and some leave in conditioner when I got out. I let my hair air dry and it looks like it did 3 years ago, before all the damage. Its shiny and soft and I'm considering wearing my hair natural to school tomorrow, which is a big deal.This works.

I have long, straight brown hair that's for the most part shiny and healthy. However I get split ends for some reason. I never straighten it or dye it or anything. The only thing I do is blow-dry it every morning. I have no other option because I don't have time in the morning to let it dry naturally and I can't shower at night because my hair will get greasy. Do you think this whole mayonnaise thing would be a good idea? What should I do? Write back with advice please.

Hi everybody, I was the first one to come up with mayonnaise in hair. And yes it grows hair faster and longer. That's if your doing it the right way it's not just mixing ingredients and putting it on your hair. If you really want to know email me : miss_lil_jezz AT yahoo.com
Trust me this works my hair is longer than my body.

You should really put mayo only at the end of your hair. Trust me just leave it for 40 minutes. Now you'll get that shiny hair.

I'm doing the process actually right now. I used the only available mayonnaise in the kitchen and it's only mayo magic. I don't know if this one works since this is not the real mayonnaise which people here are talking about. Anyhow, I have my own heating cap and I wrapped my hair with it and used the heating cap on top of it. Will give feedback as soon as I get results.

I'm fifteen and I have bleached my hair blonde a million times and now it is breaking right in the middle. So underneath my hair is SHORT and the rest is long right now. I have brown and blonde hair; blonde on the bottom, brown on top. The blonde is totally wrecking my hair. I have one egg mustard and some honey in my hair right now. I hope it works cause usually my hair is gorgeous!

This is an old hair conditioning style, African Americans have been using this for years to strip perms. It works, my aunt would mix it with an egg and honey and press our hair when me and my cousins were young we had long black shiny bouncy hair. She also used beer as a conditioner. I forgot about this technique until now. Organic Stimulator has a hair mayo, but nothing beats home made. I am using honey, mayo, and olive oil to grow back my hair. Damage hair needs moisture and these three are bound to work. Thanks for the reminder.

I just put mayo in my hair today and mixed it with 1 egg and washed it out with hot water that very same day and my hair is already shinier if that's even a word, but I messed up big time, I was supposed to keep it in for bout 15 minutes and I only kept it in for 15 sec. I will try it tomorrow and sit out in the sun with it in for a long time and everything! I cant wait. I will reply back tomorrow after I use it.

I just tried this, I only buy light mayo, and used that. I applied it to my dry hair, and as suggested by another forum I added a little shampoo to the mix to help with rinsing and the smell, I let it set for 25 min and rinsed with cold water, then showered as usual, and shampooed and conditioned. It has slightly more shine than usual, I think I should have used REAL MAYO, I'll buy the fatty stuff next time and update. However, whether it was the light mayo, or the shampoo additive. My hair does NOT SMELL!

Thank god, I have to work in 2 hours! Sally Beauty Supply offers a product called Hair Mayonnaise Damaged Hair Treatment that sells for $8 I might just try that instead, seems to act just the same as mayo. Has anyone tried this?

I use plain mayo and it works. I use this as an extra treat because i ONLY use natural products . I use henna for colour and ghassoul to wash and condition. For those who do not know what ghassoul is, its volcanic earth from morrocco ( pronounced rhassoul) . Its then dried in the sun and packed in 500 gram paper bags. I do NOT use anything else. You mix as much as you need with hot water, let it stand and add more water as necessary, then put it thru your hair and wrap with a warm towel. You can leave this for 10 to 20 minutes ( I leave it longer if I want to watch a tv program for example). Then just rinse out. When you first use this with longer hair you may want to rub a bit of moisturiser ( yes) as a leave-in conditioner for first few weeks but results are fantastic!!! It makes your hair look ten times bigger!!And beautifully soft. I use this about 2 times a week.If anyone wants to contact me personaaly for more help, please do juliablanche at orangedotnl

I mixed 1 tbs of mayonnaise with a about 2 tbs of my conditioner and kept in in for about 15 mins. I have very dry and brittle hair and was desperate for something so I took a chance when I used the mayo. Needless to say my hair is shiny and doesn't look so brittle anymore.

Mayonaise really doesn't work.
it just makes your hair stink.
i tried it and if anything it made my hair worse.
Regular heat treatments once a month and taking care of your locks such as using protection when heat styling and getting a trim every month does the trick.
It does with me anyway.

"Mayo does more then just create shiny hair, it does work 100%. It pulls chemicals from your hair, such as perms, It releases nutrients to your hair hair, and if you do some mindful mixing of 2 tbs of Mayo, It's of ketchup, and 4 ts of baking soda in a bowl until the mixture foams, then apply from root to tip, throughout you hair.

You hair will grow, I did this to combat my mothers hair loss, and in the course of 1 day, her hair started to grow about 1/4 of a inch over night, and continuing to grow over 4 days, after which I applied more of the mixture. Sadly she decided to put a perm/relaxer in her hair again and it fail out again. The mixture does not smell like Mayo or ketchup in the least. I've only tested the mixture on African American female hair, no I take that back, so AA, and/or Native America, which is a Asian grade of hair.

I do not know the effect of this mixture on Male, or other grades of hair. But it does work, as long as you do not introduce further chemicals to your head. If you were going gray/ are gray while balding, allow at least a inch of hair to retun before dying. Please allow at least 4 to 5 inches of hair growth before applying a relaxer/perm, and only allow a professional to do so, so if your hair does fall out, you can seek compensation in the court of law."


I'm replying to whoever wrote this, i did everything you said, I mixed it all in a bowl and now its in my hair waiting to be washed. I have a plastic bag on with a towel wrapped around my head. I was thinking I'll leave it in for about 3 hours? I'm not really sure how long you'd recommend though. Should I do more or less? How much did you use on your moms hair? and how often did you do it? Also, if you had your hair died jet black, will the ketchup take it all out? ah, please reply. I need answers fast.

First I mixed mustard and olive oil in a bowl and applied it to my hair. Then I thought of putting some mayo in my hair cuz i'ts so dry, brittle and damaged due to straightening. I need shine. So I coated my already oiled hair with mayo. Do you think I will get the same results or should I only do it with mayo and nothing else? Thanks a lot!

Hey, okay I'm 14 right? Usually I don't trust what people say on these things, and I think the like person who made mayonaise or cellphones or whatever they are avertising are saying good things. I got two tablespoons of mayonaise, an egg, cinnamon. It smelt so bad! Then I left it in for like 15 minutes. I shampooed and conditioned after I rinsed it out. I let my hair air dry. It wasn't AS frizzy but it was and is shiny. I over use my hair with like the hair straightener everyday, so the mayonaise thing worked! I was just dancing and I looked in the mirror, ha! I can't keep my eyes off my hair! It still smells a bit, but I'm sure another shower will handle that!

Thank God for mayonnaise! I had an allergic reaction to black hair dye. My whole face got extremely puffy and to add to the nightmare my beautiful black hair was fried. I was so upset I stayed at home for two days. I came across this site and applied the mayo to my dry and unwashed hair. I left it in for ten minutes then washed it with pert plus. My hair is back! What a relief. I am going to get it trimmed today in force the healthy shine and softness. It works, It works, It works!

This was the worst mistake I've made since the first time I dyed my own hair. It stripped the hair color out and now my hair is blonde again (with my dark brown roots). My hair was very soft because I cut off about a foot of hair so all that was left was healthy. I wanted to ump it up a little more so I tried this last night. My hair is now fried like I bleached it again. It's puffy and coarse and looks horrible.
I am very unhappy.

It's in my hair now. I already feel the difference! I combed the mayo through and now it's wrapped up with a shower cap and towel like someone suggested, Can't wait to rinse it out later... I'm going to leave it in for a long time. My hair has been lightened, bleached and colored and my ends are very brittle now and are splitting! If this works I'm going to put mayo in my hair every three days...

Do not use light mayo- use real mayo - Best Foods is best- it is the cholesterol in the mayo that makes the difference. Yes vanilla extract works for the smell, but don't use a lot- the alcohol in the extract counteracts the cholesterol. Another option is to mix fresh egg and olive oil to make home made mayo- only use this if you have thick coarse dry hair- may make thin hair oily- attached is a picture of how shiny my hair got after using it.

Wow, I did this last night. Except I kept it on my hair for 3 hours. It worked wonders. My hair is overly processed and really dry. Not anymore. Shampoo'd it out, then used conditioner like usual and the results were worth the trouble. The trick is to wrap your head with a plastice grocery bag, put a paper towel underneath by the nape of your neck to catch the oil that drips, then wrap a towel around the bag like a turbin.

Seriously, if you'r thinking about trying the Mayonaisse DO IT. I have thick wavy hair and before i started using it everytime i came out of the shower my hair would dry into a frizzy and weird tangled mess. I still dont' use shampoos instead I smother every single hair on my head with mayo - wait about 1/2hr - 1hr. Then Rinse out with warm/cold water (mustn't be hot or mayo could set) for a while and then apply a normal conditioner to the hair that gets rid of the mayo and doesn't destroy my hair like ALL shampoos unfortunately do. The end result is hair that is so shiny that i'm kinda confused what the hell this ball of light is doing on my head.
The more I've read about treatments like this the more I've found out that natural products are the best.
The reviews you get for chemical shampoos, conditioners etc are all mixed some say good, some say really useless. I've never heard/read anyone complain about natural products such as Mayo or Vinegar. In fact probably about 99% go insane about how great it is!

i wet and towel-dried my hair, slathered it with kraft mayo and put a plastic shower cap over it. left it in for one hour. rinsed it out well, shampooed, used regular conditioner. as it dried, my hair was so soft i couldn't believe it. also my winter dandruff was gone. i couldn't stop running my hands through my hair! this was two days ago, and i'm about to try it again, can't wait!

I heard that Mayo makes the hair smoother and softer. I was like "whaaat? mayo? Ok it's good on sandwiches but on your head?" But later I found out that singer, Avril Lavigne used mayo in her hair, for a straighter and soft look. I searched this in google and found out from average people that it works! I'm thinking of trying it out myself, but just one question. Will the no-name brands of mayo have the same effect as the more popular brands? I only have the no-name brand in my house right now, and I want to use it in my hair asap.

If you have oily hair try using a can of flat beer instead. It gives you the shine without the greasy effect of the mayonnaise.

Jenny, I thought I was the only crazy person who used mayo for conditioner! I came across this method purely by accident; when I was 16, I worked as a carhop at Sonic Drive Inn. One of the cooks thought it would be funny to dump a tub of mayo on my head. Well, it was the beginning of my shift so I had to go 7 hrs with the mayo in my hair. Later, I washed it out and my curly, coarse, thick, dry, and abused hair looked fantastic! Now I do a "treatment" once every two weeks and I leave the mayo on all day. It's cheaper and works much better than salon products. To those who haven't tried this method, be sure and use real mayo (like Hellman's or Best Foods and not salad dressing (like Miracle Whip).
