You put it on sandwiches, eat it with chips but did you know that mayonnaise it really good for your hair?

That’s right ladies, it’s not a myth. Full fat mayonnaise restores moisture to each strand and nourishes the hair with protein… why the feck didn’t anyone let us know this before?

Make sure it is full fat mayo, remember it's going on your hair, not in your mouth...

For most of us, frizzy hair is an everyday occurrence, add in the recent humidity and the result - a lot more of us are resembling Side-Show Bob, than usual.

This face is familiar... 

 

Here are the 7 simple steps to applying the low cost treatment that will help fight that frizz and tame that unmanageable mop.

 

1. Purchase some mayonnaise; brand doesn’t matter as long as it is regular full fat.

2. Dampen your hair with warm water in preparation. (Not soaking wet).

3. Use your fingers to scoop up some mayonnaise out of the jar and begin to rub it through your hair like you would a conditioner. Thicker hair will obviously need more mayonnaise. 

4. Then taking cling film, shower cap or plastic bag, wrap your hair up to trap the heat inside. Heat opens the pores and allows the treatment work better.

5. Leave the treatment on for at 20-30 minutes (longer depending on how damaged your hair already is). 

6. Then wash the mayonnaise out using a good shampoo and luke-warm water. You may need to shampoo a few times.

7. Always finish off by rinsing your hair out with cold water.
