Pretty by Nature

Not Just for Sandwiches

by Noel Boehm on November 13th, 2007

My best friend in Middle School was an unrepentant girly-girl. She was the only 13 year-old I knew who never left the house without a full face of makeup. I on the other hand was still carrying a hot pink lunch bag. Needless to say, we did not agree on much when it came to a beauty regimen. The one exception would be of course, mayonnaise. Yes that’s right mayonnaise. It is hands down the best “in a pinch” deep conditioning hair treatment.

We would slather our heads in it. I mean really cake it on and then cover our heads with a shower cap. I can’t say that it smelled good after an hour, but if you can get past the smell, it’s worth it. My hair would have the most amazing sheen and bounce. Get the organic kind if you can. It’s cheap, green (unless you are vegan I guess) and readily available. The caveat would be to make sure you have thoroughly rinsed it out. I had to learn the hard way. Apparently bees really like mayonnaise.
