Smell

[Chloe Williams]

I have used (only once) mayonaise as a conditioner and it worked really well! But does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of the mayonaise smell after you are done? I don't particularly want to go around smelling like mayo.

Well, you could try instead to use the ingredients of the mayo and not the mayo itself. There are many things in your kitchen that you could use to make a conditioner. I really like using oils in my regular conditioner (which is a main ingredient of mayo). I use jojoba the most. Another main ingredient is eggs. I wouldn't use the mayo all the time, though. It's great for hair because it is protein-rich, but you may suffer from protein build-up over time, making your hair feel rough and coarse. Have you ever tried honey? Adding honey to your conditioner or using a honey rinse is an awesome humectant and it makes hair really soft. You have to be careful not to use too much, though, or you'll get crunchy hair. I add a couple of drops to my leave-in conditioner.

Have you tried Cholesterol? http://www.queenhelene.com/haircarechol2.html

You leave it in for around 30 minutes then rinse it out...It works really good, and it's cheap. (I can get the big tub for like, 3 bucks) They use it to do scalp massages at the salon.

And best yet, it leaves no smell [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][/FONT]

Thanks for the replies. I tried a couple of different things (didn't work to well ) so I just bought an extra strength conditioner lol.
