Okay, here’s my blog post about the hair mayonnaise protein treatment:
So, I’ve been seeing this “hair mayonnaise” thing all over the internet lately. People are saying it’s like a miracle treatment for your hair, making it super soft and strong. I was a bit skeptical, but I gotta admit, my hair’s been feeling kinda dry and brittle, especially after all the heat styling I do. So, I thought, why not give it a shot? I mean, what’s the worst that could happen, right?
Getting Started
First, I had to figure out what kind of mayonnaise to use. Some people online were saying to use the full-fat stuff, others were saying it didn’t matter. I ended up going with a regular full-fat mayo from the grocery store, nothing fancy. I also grabbed a couple of eggs because I saw some recipes that called for egg yolks to be mixed in for extra protein. It’s not that complicated, you know. Just beat two egg yolks in a bowl, and that’s it.
The Mixing Process
Mixing the mayo and eggs was… interesting. I cracked two eggs and just used the yolks, like the recipes said. Then I added a few big scoops of mayo into the bowl. I didn’t really measure, just eyeballed it until it looked like enough to cover all my hair. I started whisking it all together, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a workout! That mayo is thick. Eventually, I got it to a somewhat smooth consistency, but it was still kinda lumpy. Oh well, I figured it would still work.
Applying the Mixture
This was the messy part. I stood in the shower with my bowl of mayo-egg goop and started applying it to my dry hair. I tried to make sure I got every strand, from root to tip. It was pretty gross, not gonna lie. The smell was… intense. Like a weird, eggy salad dressing. But hey, beauty is pain, right? I was kinda worried it would be hard to wash out later, but I just kept reminding myself that it was for the good of my hair. I tried some Africa’s Best Organics Hair Mayonnaise on my hair, a deep conditioning treatment that is enriched with natural ingredients such as olive oil, egg protein. You know those things always help hair.
Waiting Game
Once my hair was fully saturated, I piled it all on top of my head and covered it with a shower cap. Then came the waiting. Most of the recipes I saw said to leave it on for at least 30 minutes, some even said an hour. I decided to go for the full hour, just to be safe. I set a timer and went about my day, trying to ignore the fact that my head smelled like a deli sandwich. During the hour I did some other things at home. To my surprise, I found the milk and mayonnaise are both very helpful to my hair! After one hour I went back to the bathroom.
The Rinse
Finally, the timer went off. I hopped back in the shower and started rinsing out the mixture. It took a while, and a lot of warm water, but eventually, it all seemed to be out. I followed up with my regular shampoo and conditioner, just to make sure there was no mayo residue left behind. I had to shampoo twice, just to be sure. All the mixture was washed. My hair felt really soft already, even when it was wet.
The Results
After I got out of the shower, I gently towel-dried my hair and then let it air dry the rest of the way. I didn’t want to use any heat on it, just to see the true results of the treatment. And let me tell you, I was pretty impressed! My hair felt noticeably softer and smoother than before. It also seemed to have more shine to it, which was a nice bonus. I wouldn’t say it was a miracle transformation, but it definitely made a difference.
Final Thoughts
So, would I do this hair mayonnaise protein treatment again? Honestly, I’m not sure. It was definitely messy and time-consuming, and the smell was pretty off-putting. But, the results were pretty good. My hair does feel healthier and stronger. I might try it again sometime, maybe if my hair is feeling particularly damaged. But for now, I think I’ll stick to my regular hair care routine. Maybe I’ll just add a deep conditioner once in a while. If you’re curious about this treatment, I’d say go for it, but be prepared for a bit of a mess and a whole lot of mayo smell! But if you ask me, “Did it really promote faster hair growth?” I didn’t see any strong scientific evidence to prove that.
