Here's an economical way to bring life back into your hair using a homemade Organic Hair Conditioner: Mash one banana with 2 TBSP. of olive oil until smooth. Apply generously throughout your hair. Cover with a shower cap or plastic wrap and allow to sit for 20-30 minutes. Follow-up with a shampoo and rinse.

I tried the mayo one with low fat mayo - don't bother unless you're using the real deal - it's the fat that makes the hair shine!

I have a quick question. Will the mayo work on thick curly hair too? I am scared to try.

Do not do this, as I just tried it & it does exactly the opposite. Have you ever tried to get banana out of wet, dry & tangled hair? I feel like I now have dreadlocks.

THIS DOES NOT WORK - I TRIED THIS AND IT MADE MY HAIR WORSE AND THE LITTLE TINY PIECES OF BANANA THAT YOU CANNOT SMOOTH ARE SO HARD TO GET OUT OF YOUR HAIR - DO NOT USE THIS - I REPEAT UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND 3 HOURS RINSING YOUR HAIR DO NOT USE THIS.

As a kid I had very long hair and my mother always used mayonnaise on my hair. Works good to detangle too. She would also rinse my hair with flat beer. Said it made my hair shine.

It does not work. I got banana all over my hair and couldn't get rid of it.

Salt strips things and sugar makes things stick... so I would assume the sugar one.

I am a cosmetologist. I never tried this remedy but I'm sure it will work. Banana has lots of benefits for skin too.

And that sounds like a great way to use up an old banana!

I've heard that Koolaid can be used as an inexpensive temp hair color--but never had much luck with it myself. Anyone know how to do this?

I tried out this tip that I'd hear years ago, and the results have been amazing. Simply glop mayonnaise through your hair, mix it through and cover with either plastic cling wrap or a plastic shopping bag wrapped tight. After half and hour I washed it out. (Due to the egg content of the mayonnaise, be sure not to use hot water). My hair is so silky and soft, it's unbelievable!
