In which I try a mayonnaise hair treatment...

For years, I've heard about people using mayonnaise as a conditioning hair treatment. I've never personally know anyone who's tried it, though. However, lately my hair has been looking a bit... tired, I guess. Kind of dull and lackluster. And, with a sudden light-bulb of inspiration, I decided to look into the legendary mayonnaise treatment. I researched it a bit online, and found that it's generally worked well for people who've tried it. So, Saturday night, I decided to try it for myself.

I was a bit nervous when I first opened the packet of Mayonnaise. How would it affect my raven locks, and what's more, did I want my head to smell like a turkey sandwich? But, I finally got the nerve to smooth it into my hair. It smelled very strong, and was a bit nausea-making at first. But once I got past the smell (it seemed to fade after a moment), I massaged the mayonnaise into my hair from root to tip, trying to evenly coat every strand of hair. That done, I let it sit for about 10 minutes. After that, it was time to wash it out. I rinsed the excess mayo out with cool water from the sink, then I showered, washing my hair like I normally would. I let my hair dry naturally and combed it with a wide-tooth comb. The next morning, my hair was very shiny and soft, and less frizzy than usual. Today, almost a week and several washings later, my hair is still soft and manageable.

All in all, I was pleased with the results of the mayonnaise hair treatment. It may not be the most "pleasant" of treatments, but it's cheap, easy, and seems to work. I'll consider repeating the treatment every few weeks, as needed.
