DEEP CONDITIONING TREATMENTS
NOTE: Always apply treatments to clean, freshly washed hair.
HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE AND EGG TREATMENT
You will need…
Twice as much real mayonnaise as what you normally would use of conditioner for regular conditioning.
One to three eggs depending on current hair length. (One for shoulder length, two for waist length and three for longer).
Thermal shower cap
Blow dryer or hot towels
Blend together and apply mixture to hair. (Room temperature to slightly warm is best for absorption). Wind hair on top of head and cover with a thermal shower cap. Blast lightly with a blow dryer a few times or cover with hot towels. The heat will help the conditioner to absorb better. (Don't use excessive heat). Leave on for about one hour and rinse with cool water. Use a mild two-in-one shampoo to remove excess residue continuing to use cool water. The cool will help to seal back the hair which will lock in softness and shine.
MAYONNAISE AND AVOCADO TREATMENT
This treatment is much like the previous treatment. You will follow the same steps except for using avocado in the place of the egg.
Use 1/2 avocado for shoulder length, 1 whole avocado for waist length and 1 1/2 to 2 avocados for longer hair.
NOTE: Both of these treatments may be enhanced by adding 1/4 to 1/2 cup of olive or coconut oil to the mixture but may be slightly harder to wash out. Also, a few drops of aromatic oils may be added to help the smell and to make it a more relaxing process. Ones to try: Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, or lavender oil.
NOTE: You may also use a mixture of warm coconut and olive oils for hot oil treatments and split end treatments. Remember, if you microwave the oils to warm them do so for only a few seconds and be very careful as you could easily be burned.
Always let hair air dry naturally and do not brush when wet.
