I`ve been having lots of problems with my hair lately: no volume, very thin and it falls really bad(so bad that my house if full of my hair even my cat has less hair in the house that I do).
So, I decided that it`s time to do something about this. I already tried lots of treatments that are available in the store, or online. But nothing really helped. I recalled that I used a few years ago a natural mask, and it worked amazingly for my hair. This is a very easy DIY mask.
The ingredients you need for medium hair are:
- an egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- aprox. 15 drops of liquid vitamin A
If you have longer hair, as I do, just double the ingredients.
And now all you have to do is to put this mayonnaise in your hair. I like to split up my hair in more sections, in this way it is easier to do the job, and I also make sure that I have mayonnaise everywhere. It took me about 30 to 40 minutes to spread it all over my hair.
The mask has to stay on for at least 2 hours, and then you have to wash your hair extremely well. And that`s it.
While you`re waiting for the mask to do its job, you can wrap a towel around your hair, or use a shower cap, or you can just make a bum of your hair. I recommend using a shower cap.In this way, you can easily
do other things, without leaving any drops of 'mayonnaise' after you.
I know this isn`t an easy recipe for a homemade cookie, but it definitely is a very good recipe if you have problems with your hair. Don't expect miracles from the first use. This mask should be used once a week, and you will see improvements after the second or third use. Your hair will be thicker, will have a special shine and it won`t fall so badly.
So, what do you think? Is it worth a try? What other natural masks you use for your hair?

It is definitely worth a try. We spend a fortune on our hair and in the end it gets over processed. This is definitely a great idea. I've also used these types of make and they make my hair soft and silky.
ReplyDeleteI had a neighbor that used mayo in her hair and she swore by it. I haven't tried it, but did I try Nioxin and it worked for me. You can see it on my blog. My hair filled by in and I was really amazed. Hope this works for you.
ReplyDeleteI will read about Nioxin, thanks for the tip!
DeleteThis sounds amazing for your hair! Our hair suffers from so much product'
ReplyDeleteI have exactly the same problems you had, I think I have to give this a try. Have you noticed an improvement after doing it? I'd love to know
ReplyDeleteYes, you can easily see the improvements after 2 or 3 uses.
DeleteI've never tried a homemade hair mask, but now you have me wanting to try!!

I should try this too. My hair falls out by the handfuls. I assume it's from the over processing from color :) Good luck and hope this works for you! XO - Wendi @ H2OBungalow
ReplyDeleteI am molting to must try this mask thanks for sharing Cristina
ReplyDeleteIf you have the time Amber please try it. It does so much good for your hair!
DeleteWe use to use mayonnaise and a shower cap, its miraculous if you can deal with smelling like a potato salad. I bet the honey makes this smell better.
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh Leanna !!! The honey makes the smell better, but just a little :)
DeleteDefinitely worth a try! My hair is fine and lacks volume too, so I know how you feel.

I don't think I have ever used a natural mask on my hair. I sometimes use coconut oil or olive oil on it before washing, for nourish and shine. Your mask sounds good too.
ReplyDeletehahaha “mayonnaise”
ReplyDeletethe only downside is that some parts of the egg always remain stuck to the roots even after washing
Nothing beats natural stuff, gross you say?? Lol, the egg getting stuck tho!! Great expose I know a few people whom I can share this with. Great stuff
ReplyDeleteI think I would give it a try. Natural ingredients is the best when it comes to beauty products. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteDidn't know these ingredients could help with hair. Today I learned something new. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've always heard of using raw eggs in your hair, but never mixed with these other ingredients. If it works, ladies with problem hair should definitely try it instead of using those store bought kits.
ReplyDeleteI am definately gonna try this. I live in costel area and my hair are getting very dry and curly. I have heard that egg is extremely good for hair. This hair mask of yours has come at the right time :)
ReplyDeleteJust dyed my hair today and I know I will need to do more treatments and conditioning to protect my hair so this is great for me to try.
ReplyDeleteI really like this hair mask. My daughter's hair really needs it, I have to share this with her.
ReplyDeletelove using natural products to me they are the safe bet
ReplyDeleteLove this! Seems like something I must try for my hair too, they are really long at the moment and need extra care!
ReplyDeleteI must try these for my hair. Natural products like these are always of high quality and effect
ReplyDeleteAdd a bit of flour and you'd make a cake. Folks used to throw eggs on people's hair at school on their birthday and the egg was very difficult to remove later when you washed it ( some wouldn't even show up on their day to avoid that ).
ReplyDeleteI use brands that have natural ingredients on their formula whenever I can.
I have never tried a hair mask. I will have to try this sometime!
ReplyDeleteOh I need to try that hair mask! I haven't had time to use a hair mask for a while now!
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I've ever tried a hair mask. I'd be happy to try it! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this before, what an interesting hair mask! I'll have to give this a try one day to see if I can help my hair out!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of people doing this before. I never really thought about doing it myself until reading this. My hair is frizzy, I bet this would help!
ReplyDeleteOh I need this, I never seen anyone saying to add liquid Vitamin A into their hair mask. So this is the first! I would love to try this. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is this! I've never considered using natural ingredients to make my own hair mask. I struggle with fine, thin hair and would love to have a little bounce back again.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the before and after. I've never tried a hair mask, but I could probably use one.
ReplyDeleteI've also heard amazing things about hair masks that use natural ingredients. Please keep us updated I'm keen to hear how the results pan out.
ReplyDeleteMy husband makes hair masks! They have avocado and eggs and whatnot. It's always a good idea to take good care of your hair!
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of a hair mask before. I have long, thick hair, that falls out all over the place. My mom use to say for every hair that falls out. I will have to try out this mask and see if I can slow down my shedding.
ReplyDeleteI use olive oil for my hair and I think I can do wonders with this mask of yours! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI will give this a try! It is brave because the thought of mayonnaise on my hair immediately makes me think of gagging. But, I am willing to try it to give my hair much needed nutrients without breaking the bank. Thank you for this inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love a good mask for hair, it is always so nourishing! I have never used Vitamin in my mask, should try next time.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot about different kinds of DIY mask but haven't tried any of them. Are the changes noticeable after the first try or after several uses?
ReplyDeleteI love doing hair mask. I am supposed to do one with bentonite clay at the moment.
ReplyDeleteMy hair has been so dry lately. I'm definitely going to try this.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! As someone who has decided to stop using any form of inorganic products on my hair, I think this is great. Will definitely try this out.
ReplyDeleteOh, I think it is worth a try! I also have some problems with my hair lately. The recipe is easy to follow and use!
ReplyDeleteMy hair could us a mask. Love making natural ones at home.
ReplyDeletei Will try to make this.. Thanks For Sharing
