First Ever Mayo Treatment

Currently underway, wish me luck!

Will let you all know how it goes, off to the lake district tommorrow and was kind of hoping for weather nice enough to wear my hair down for at least a bit and play the romantic heroinne prancing round the mountains and lakesides

(Is there any difference between using low fat and full fat?  We only had low fat in the house)

Hmmm. Maybe using low fat will mean your hair won't need to excercise as much

Hope it goes well-have you been practising your prancing?

ps. rini -I LOVE your new siggy.

Thanks ladyfrog!!

Hey PhilGirl, how did the prancing go? I'll bet you were every bit the long-haired maiden in the countryside!

Full fat tried and tested - WOW!

A huge improvement on the lower fat, think I may be tempted to abandon oiling and do this instead from now on!  Hair isn't dry yet as I only rinsed it out 6 hours ago but is looking very shiny and full and my plait tassle feels verrrrrrrrry soft (softer than I ever remeber it being).  I did leave it on for about 4 hours though as I forgot it was on there (benefit of having the house to yourself for a day). I think the change to a horn comb is helping with the thickness too as I seem to have alot less breakage recently (well that and combing properly).

Give it a go Dave, highly reccomended! 

I put the mayo on dry hair, covered with a shower cap then towel left it for awhile (an hour is best) and then shampooed and conditioned and used my leave in (lots of conditioner I know but curly hair is sooooooo thirsty). 

Mayo rinsed out really easily, but it does need a shampoo to get it all out I think.

Hey, philosophygirl, we noticed that you used a shower cap.  When we do Jennifer's hair, we usually soak it pretty good with mayo from a dry state.  She puts saran wrap on her head afterwards and then a towel.  It seals her hair up so the oil doesn't run down as much and also keeps the heat in so it penetrates better.  Just thought we'd mention it.
