According to Beauty Tips 411, here are three home recipes for hair that are perfect for damaged and dry hair types. These are frugal and easy ways to make a homemade conditioner.
Homemade Hair Treatments For Damaged Hair
1. Avocado Deep Conditioner Hair Mask– Using 1 small jar of mayonnaise and 1/2 avocado. Mix all ingredients, smooth into head being careful to work it to the ends, Use shower cap or plastic wrap to seal body heat in and leave on for 20 minutes.
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 make my own shampoo bar from Olive oil which has been infused with patchouli leaves, sunflower, grapeseed oil and then essential oils of patchouli, lemon and a small amount of tea tree. The water content of the soap is chamomile tea. This lathers up well and washes great. After washing my hair I then use a spray bottle with 1:4 ratio of vinegar and water with a touch of orange essential oil and spray this on my hair. Rinse off after about a minute and my hair is clean and so soft.

Does any mayo work? I only have the Light option in my house( smile)
I have mid-back long blonde fine hair, and I just finished a Mayo treatment… I’m kind of on the fence.
I’ve been doing the 1tbsp baking soda/1c water n likewise vinegar wash/rinse for a couple weeks now, and because my tips were getting dry, I thought I’d try the mayo(pure, no extras) mask to re-hydrate.
After mayo’ing up, I read and did internet stuff for a hour while the hair was up in a shower cap and towel to keep the heat in which was fine, but the trying to get the mayo out was the not fun part. I used much more baking soda wash than I would normally, and even then resorted to a fructis shampoo because the mayo wouldn’t come fully out. I felt this kind of depleted the reasoning for trying the poo-free method.
No conditioner, no vinegar wash; this was to try and see the effects of the mayo conditioning alone.
Now that my hair’s drying:
My tips and whole hair are softer, but I’m not sure if I notice much more in the way of not being dry.
I also mildly smell like a sandwich.. Which I’m not ok with.
Overall: Yes my hair is softer than it was… but I’m not sure it was worth the hassle of the mask and trying to get rid of all the oil residue. Maybe that’s not the point of the mask, to get rid of the oil in the end, but I don’t like leaving that in my hair as it looks and feels heavy and greasy very quickly.
I’ll keep this treatment in mind, especially as I continue working with poo-free washes, noting how my hair reacts and seeing if I need to re-moisturize again; but I won’t be running back to the mayo mask for the hassle and smell factor.
