People have used mayonnaise as a deep conditioning treatment
for their hair for as long as I can remember and it works. If
your hair is really dry, I prefer using olive oil. Heat some
extra virgin olive oil in the microwave until warm, not hot.
Apply to DRY hair, concentrating on the dry ends. Wrap in
plastic and a warm towel ot a heating cap or dryer. Shampoo
thoroughly. Add the shampoo to the hair BEFORE wetting it to
make removing the olive oil easier. Make sure you shampoo very
well and apply an instant conditioner to prevent smelling like
the cook at Olive Garden. There is one negative to using hot
oil on the hair, it will strip color. In fact, if you color
your hair and it is a little darker than you would like, a hot
oil treatment will remove some of it. A good way to still utilize
the benfits of a hot oil treatment, even if you color your hair
is to use the oil treatment before you are due for your next
color...
Flat beer to give your hair body...
Be sure to use beer that has lost its zing, or else heat fresh
beer and allow it to cool. Wash your hair, pour it on, and comb.
It will not smell after it dries...
Vinegar hair rinses...
These are great for the hair. They give body, increase shine,
and remove build-ups on the hair. Cider vinegar is good for
brunettes, white vinegar for blondes. Four tablespoons in
three glasses of warm water. Then use lots of cool water to
remove the smell...
Lemons can be a blonde's best friend...
The juice of two lemons in two glasses of lukewarm water and
rinsed through shampooed hair will brighten the blonde and
give it shine. A spray bottle filled with lemon and water
can be spritzed on dry hair before sitting out in the sun to
enhance already blonde or highlighted hair. Keep in mind, I
said "enhanced", I didn't say it will turn you into a blonde
from a brunette. Make sure you condition the hair well to prevent
dryness... http://www.gophercentral.com
