Has anyone tried mayo or beer as a conditioner? Sounds wack but I read it from some booklet, this remedy is mainly for people who have dry hair. I haven't tried the mayo one yet. Test them out see how it works for you.
"Have a beer. 'Beer is a wonderful setting lotion. It gives a crisp, healthy, shiny look, even to dry hair,' says Steven Docherty, senior art director at New York City's Vidal Sassoon Salon. The trick is to spray the brew onto your hair using a pump bottle after you've shampooed and toweldried, but before you blow-dry or style. And don't worry about smelling like a lush - the odor of the beer quickly disappears."
"Go heavy on the Mayo. 'Mayonnaise makes an excellent conditioner,' says Docherty. He advises you to leave the oily white goo in your hair for anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour before washing it out."
I have heard about using Mayo before, but I'm not going to use expensive food for my hair. Never heard about anyone using beer before.
Hey, Mayo is actually pretty cheap, probably cheaper than salon-type deep conditioners, and is also effective. It has oil for moisturizing, vinegar for shine and softness, and egg for protein.
When comparing Mayo price to other conditioners, I agree with that statement. I'm an open-minded kinda guy, but I just don't think I can put myself up to grabbing a handful of it and slabbing it on my head, even after having all this information. My "weirded-out" mechanism would kick in to prevent me from trying it. :)
You never heard of the beer shampoo that was so big back in the 80's?
Haven't heard a peep from it after it failed to be a real success past the novelty faze. Some people use it because of some of the additives but it's probably more effective for scenting your hair.
I've used mayo before as a deep conditioner once a month or so, but what I found out was that the only thing about mayo was the oil. So I looked around and found out that olive oil is really good for your hair. Once a month, put in some oil, put on a shower cap, and sit in the sun for an hour! Works better than mayonnaise. Never heard of the beer, but I don't get out a lot either. . .
