When women suffer from dry, damaged hair they usually purchase high end products thinking this is their best and only solution. Unfortunately, it’s the excess use of these products, plus environmental factors, such as sun, wind and cold temperatures that have compromised the hair. Shampoo, conditioner and other hair care products contain many harsh ingredients that strip the hair strand of its natural oils resulting in dull hair that is prone to breakage. If you are suffering from dry hair, step away from the products and go directly to your refrigerator.

What your hair needs is regular deep conditioning treatments and a more gentle hair care regimen. Years of daily shampooing, high heat styling and harsh products, takes a tool on our hair. I recommend using natural conditioning treatments along with natural shampoos instead of store bought. This way you have complete control over what you put on your hair. One of my favorites is a Mayonnaise Deep Conditioning Treatment.

Mayonnaise effectively combats many hair care issues, the thick consistency, full of oil, egg and vinegar forms a protective barrier repairing and smoothing damaged cuticles. It prevents split ends, breakage and reduces frizz while adding shine, smoothness and a fuller hair texture.

Use Store Bought Mayonnaise:

 

Using a store bought Mayo is an easy and fast way to perform a deep conditioning treatment to your hair.
