I put mayo in my hair once a month. It makes it extra silky and strong and it it helps not make my hair too thick, AKA makes it lay more nicely. What about you? Have you tried it? All I do is put a towel around me then put just enough mayo to cover roots to end, but not a super thick slather of it, just enough to saturate it. I enjoy my routine, I can't guarantee nothing but it is a fun thing to do when you've got nothing better to do, LOL.

Only once in my life did i grow my hair long ,that was to donate to "locks of love" , the other 50 years i basicly have my hair a little longer than a "high and tight" ( a huge personal annoyance for me is none other than hair touching my ears ) .

Any particular brand of mayo you prefer ,will miracle whip work ?, I guess another reason I haven't done it is I am allergic to eggs ,haven't eaten egg since I was like two years old . Though i do know people who swear by putting castor oil in there hair and other things .

I use Hellman's. My family has an inside joke,"Miracle whip? I'm aginnit!" My grandma says it doesn't matter if it's light mayo or regular mayo, but I particularly like the regular mayo.

I put mayo in my kids' hair when they were young. They came home from school with head lice & the doctor said putting mayo on their heads with a shower cap on overnight would suffocate the little parasites. You're not only making your hair more to your liking, but you're also delousing yourself, LiteraryLark. Two birds...one stone.
Thanks for this!

I haven’t even eaten mayonnaise for the past 15 years. I got really sick one time from a tuna sandwich. I can’t even smell it. I put hair gel in my hair and spike it up a bit.

I have heard egg yolks can help for dry hair, so I think mayo would be similar.

I've never even thought to put mayo in my hair. Sounds like an interesting idea that could have benefits.

I know someone who puts eggs in their hair as a shampoo. I've never tried either. Yeah I think the smell of the mayo, I'd dislike.

I don't think I could put mayonnaise in my hair. Maybe mustard, though!
Thanks for this!

Yuck, no. But my mom put mayo in my hair when I was 5. I had very long hair that got a terrible tangle in it, so she used mayonnaise to untangle it.

If you want to do egg yolks ,get "Kewpie" mayo ,its Japanese mayo made with only yolks. I don't know any brand names but if you go to any type of Asian market and ask for it, they can hook you up .
