2. Mayonnaise Your Hair – Apply 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to your dry hair, work in really well, cover your head with a plastic wrap, and let it set for about 15 minutes.
3. Olive Oil Hair Mask – Combine 2 tablespoon honey and 3 tablespoon olive oil together. Apply thoroughly and then cover with plastic wrap and set for 15 minutes. These beauty tips and treatments are great on any type of hair and safe enough for those with sensitive scalps as well.
Homemade Shampoo
4. Baking Soda Hair Cleansing Mud – Mix 1 heaping Tbsp. of Baking Soda and 3-5 drops of essential oils of your choice (lavender, patchouli, rosemary, sweet orange are some of mine:not necessarily all together) with enough water to make a paste. Mix this in the shower. It took a little getting use too, with there being no suds.
5. Natural Chemical Free Shampoo – Use these three ingredients and use as a natural DIY shampoo, ¼ cup distilled water ( deionized water is ok ), ¼ cup liquid castile soap ( I use unscented ), and ½ teaspoon jojoba, grapeseed or other light vegetable oil.
6. Chamomile Fields Shampoo – Let the tea bags steep in 1 1/2 cups of boiled water for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and with the remaining liquid add the soap flakes. Let stand until the soap softens. Stir in glycerin until mixture is well blended. Pour into a bottle. Keep in a dark, cool place.

I thought I would add our experiences to the list of suggestions! My daughter and I both have hair long enough to sit on and we’ve been using coconut oil as a deep conditioner for years. It’s highly recommended within the “long hair communities”. Some people are fussy about what kind and only get ‘organic’ coconut oil, but we get the LuAnn brand from the baking aisle in Walmart and it works wonderfully. We only put it on the part of hair that would go in a ponytail, and down to the tips. We don’t put the oil near our roots/hairline. Saturate the hair, one section at a time, rubbing in well, braid it (or twist up in bun) and leave it all day, or over night, then wash out. We use our regular Suave shampoo/conditioners afterward without any problems; no oily residue, just soft, healthy hair. Keep in mind that coconut oil will turn liquidy if the weather is warm, and more solid if it’s colder out. Use it the same way, however it looks in the canister.
There is a shampoo called 100% Tea by IC , it will remove oil from hair. Also use Seabreeze for scalp.
Try a pre-wash with Liquid Dawn to remove Oil, then your regular shampoo and conditioner. Great for the scalp too. My doctor says this help keep the follicles from clogging, reduces dandruff, and preps your hair for the Conditioner. Yes it is a detergent but when followed by regular shampoo and conditioner works well.
I have been using a baking soda rinse followed by a vinegar rinse to wash my hair for over two years. My hair has never looked better.
Mix 1 cup baking soda to 1 gallon of water. I like to fill a dish soap squeeze bottle with this, and then squirt it on your head and work in. Rinse really well, then rinse some more.
for the vinegar rinse, you also use 1 cup vinegar (it doesn’t seem to make any difference if you use white or apple cider) to 1 gallon water. I put this in a smaller squeeze bottle too. Poor it on your hair, work it in, let sit for a minute or so then rinse.
This method does require an adjustment period of a week or three. Your scalp needs to adjust to the new routine. Just stick it out and you won’t regret it.
When you’re ready to wash the oil out of your hair, don’t rinse your hair first. Put shampoo directly on your oiled hair, rubbing it in as good as you can. Then rinse and shampoo again if needed.
