QuoteReplyTopic: mayo pics? Posted: January 17 2007 at 12:40pm
This is kind of off topic for the forum, but I'll mention it anyway. The last time we mayo'd Jennifer's hair (back in November of 2006), we took a bunch of photos. If anyone would be interested, I could post several of these to this thread. The pics include several pictures of the progression of the mayo'ing and then rinsing/conditioning her hair afterwards. If I get a couple positive answers, I'll put them up. I know photos are usually welcomed so I thought I'd ask to guage the interest. Here's a "before" picture.
Ah, ok. I was just wondering if there was a visual difference afterwards.
Ya know, it's funny..... I was talking to someone about using mayo on hair, discussing how to do it with putting a plastic bag over it and then a warm towel and all that. My friend who was listening started laughing and begged me to do that next time he came over so he could see. I said "no! I hide out in the bathroom so nobody can see me." He thought it'd be so hilarious to see me with a plastic bag on my head! He begged and begged, but to no avail.
Yeah, it's strange. Some guys like this stuff and others just want to stay away and watch TV while it happens. I, for one, don't miss it. I love to see her nice soft hair get doused with mayo and watch it slowly get all oily and wet. There's nothing that looks like it ... or feels like it for that matter. Then afterwards, her hair feels great and we wonder why we didn't do it much sooner. I think you should have given in and let him watch. Maybe he'd start doing it for you and you could just enjoy the pampering :-). Jennifer enjoys that part of it ... just sit there and relax while somebody massages her head and tugs on her hair.
It does look really long in this picture, doesn't it? We noticed that too. It's 2 months newer than the latest signature picture and in the signature picture picture, Jennifer may be slightly tipping her head forwards looking at something, but that wouldn't seem to make up for the difference. I really like this picture. I think its maybe the contrast of the hair with the green plant.
I got Jennifer a couple of metal barettes for Christmas so I was looking at your site, Susan, for ideas of how to make them hair-safe. I need to go to WalMart to get the things I need to do this.

What is Jennifer's goal length? If you posted this somewhere in the past, I apologize. I agree that is looks longer in this picture. What a treat, to get pampered like that. I can see why she likes it.

She doesn't really have a goal length. She's always had long hair and is just growing it now to see how long it will get until she gets tired of it or it isn't fun anymore. Then she may cut it back, but it won't be really short. She enjoys long hair and plans on always having long hair.
As far as the pampering, well, I enjoy it as much as she does ... but shhhh .... dont' tell her that ;-).

Maybe if we had more of an intimate relationship. I hate saying "we're just friends" because even if it's true, nobody ever believes it. lol We've been really close friends for about 6 years. Dating is a possibility we're open to, but I think neither of us are ready for that just yet. If it ever comes to that, I'll keep your suggestion in mind. I think he'd be good at it and would enjoy it. He's like you, really into it. He's constantly asking me questions about stuff I do to my hair, especially if it's something odd like putting food in it.
p.s. I really like that pic too. The ivy in the background does add a nice touch. If it wasn't for the toilet, it'd almost look like it was taken in a studio.
Yeah, the toilet paper hanging there doesn't do anything for the picture for sure LOL!
Yes, do keep it in mind to have him watch or help sometime. Taken from a man's perspective, lots of guys love the look and feel of long hair and have a big interest in what fun it can be, but are afraid to ask to help with it. Instead, they make jokes about women doing things like putting a plastic bag over their head ... "Yeah, I'd like to see that one!". They use it as a challenge to get to watch. Long hair can be an added form of intimacy between a man and a woman in a healthy relationship. Both can get enjoyment out of it and spend more time together in this way. If you like the guy, take him up on the offer and see how it goes. If he makes fun of you, he's not the one. If it goes well, it could be good.

My husband loves my hair.He was almost as upset as I was when it was cut. He always plays with it with his fingers, or smoothing his hands through it. Now he wants our 6 yr old daughter to have long hair. I have kept it shorter because it was sooo thin. She wants to have hair to her knees!

I think that interest in seeing the process would be limited to those who are close to or intimate with the one undergoing the process. Personally I have no interest in seeing the during pics (including because I don't plan to try the mayo treatment and am not looking for a picture-based tutorial). Please know that I do not wish to diminish your enjoyment of the process.
Her hair does look longer in this pic and it does look very shiny and healthy. Wouldn't mind seeing an "after" pic to see the value of the treatment, though.
Thanks tdouty for letting me know you are using my site, its always nice to know if people find it useful!
Its also interesting to read your perspectives on what a guy
might be thinking when he wants to laugh at a woman with a bag on her
head ...I only thought he would be joking, I never considered a guy
might actually be interested in hair care when they joke about
that! Guys are mysteries to me sometimes!
While it would be nice to have a guy interested in my hair, it
doesn't mean he's not the one if he does
joke about a bag on the head
though. Those guys can be good too (if they are joking in a nice
way). I've dated a guy in the past who was really focused on one
physical aspect, and it tended to mean he was just as focused on that
if he saw it on another woman too...more like the one physical aspect
was more important than the person attached to it. Its actually
one aspect of a
relationship I don't miss, personally (though again, hair attention
wouldn't be so bad either!). I'm pretty sure my hubby would find
me funny looking with a bag on my head, as he has no interest
whatsoever in my hair or what I do with it. But even though we
don't share that one interest, he's still a good guy to be with.
Edited to say: Not meaning to say either kind of guy is bad, just
saying either could be good. It really depends how they handle
their interest.

Hello I am NEW and I was wondering......the mayo thing really works??? I heard lots of different things! How do I do it and how often? I don't know yet how to put up pics, but when I do I will put one of my hair. I love my hair but the ends are jus fried! I even stopped curling and blow drying after I cut it and it just is bad at the ends! So any advice would be great thx!

I actually have mayo in my hair right now! I put the mayo in an old conditoiner bottle so it would be much easier to apply.This is what I do, start with dry hair, Comb it out first. Bend over the tub and apply like you would a conditioner.( I put enough in that when I sqeeze my hair the mayo drips out.) twist and put in a bun on the top of my head, and secure with a clip. Wrap a plastic bag around and secure with another clip. I am sitting like that right now! I am going to let it sit for an hour than shower and rinse out. Wheather you shampoo out or just conditioner out is up to you. I juse shampooed, so I will lost likely co out.
my daughter is home sick today so she has mayo in her hair also. We are sitting here with plastic bage on our heads drinking lemon water with robs on!Our own little spa! She thinks it is great. She called it a mommy thing!

That's pretty much the same way we do Jennifer's too. The only thing we do different is that I keep working it until it turns into an oil. Then we cover it with plastic wrap and let it in her hair for a little longer ... at least 2 hours. We then CO her hair. We just did her's 2 weeks ago and her hair always looks and feels great afterwards. Give it a try, swtlildrea, and let us know what you think.
