And how can you stand the smell?Well mayonaise is basically eggs, oil, vinegar and some seasonings. Since the 3 main ingredients are good for your hair, so is the mayonaise itself.However, I like to make a tweaked recipie that I call hair mayonaise to use as a conditioner or mix in with the henna when I color my hair. It doesn't smell nearly as weird as the kind out of the jar and is heavier on the egg than on oil. I was going to include it when I wrote a henna article for Karen, but since I never seem to get around to doing that (sorry Karen), I'll post it here.You can double or triple this as needed for the length of your hair. I usually just use a single egg to mix with the henna, and 2 eggs as a conditioner.1 or more eggs 2 tbsp olive oil (per egg) 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (per egg)Crack the egg(s) into a bowl and mix until yoke and white are fairly well blended. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil at a time and beat until it no longer seperates from the egg. Once you're done adding all the olive oil then add the vinegar 1 tbsb at a time and blend in until it's smooth and doesn't seperate. Put on your hair and leave for an hour then wash out.I've tried making it with jojoba oil instead, but it's too thick and doesn't blend well. The olive oil seems to work best.-jennifer

Actually, it doesn't sound wierd! I have used mayo many times to condition my hair. It really helps people w/ dry,thick frizzy hair. It weighs down your hair so it is not as frizzy and does make it soft.> OK, this may sound weird, but I have heard> that mayonnaisse is an excellent conditioner for> hair because it has so much protein in it.

OK, this may sound weird, but I have heard that mayonnaisse is an excellent conditioner for hair because it has so much protein in it. I thought it was just a ridiculous rumor until I saw a movie with Julia Roberts using mayonnaisse on her hair. Has anybody ever tried this for reals? What are the results?
