Beautify Your Hair With Mayonnaise Masks

The use of  mayonnaise as a mask is ideal for people with dry hair, which requires maximum hydration.

Generally, the main reason why hair is in bad condition is poor cleaning routines, lack of water and vitamins.

In contrast, elements such as omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin C and some other nutrients found in mayonnaise make it a  practical remedy for healthy hair.

Why is mayonnaise ideal?

Some of the main ingredients in mayonnaise are eggs, vinegar and oil.

The egg

Egg is an extraordinary source of protein, so it  allows the hair follicle to be strengthened. These properties, in turn, reinforce the hair’s strength and shine, preventing breakage.

the vinegar

It has multiple benefits for the skin and hair, including  cleansing, disinfecting, reducing  frizz , fighting microorganisms that cause dandruff  and also reduce it.

It also smoothes the hair cuticle.

The most suitable is apple cider vinegar, as it is more nutritious because it contains more enzymes and minerals.

Oil

In Eastern cultures, it is common to apply oil to the hair to  protect it from the sun and pollution.

In India, for example, women follow this custom and, as a result, have long, strong, shiny, hydrated and nourished hair.

The most popular are coconut, sesame, olive oil and sunflower.

Benefits of mayonnaise

In summary, the benefits of mayonnaise for hair are as follows:

• It is moisturizing for the scalp
• Provides softness and shine to hair
• Eliminates dandruff
• The hair becomes manageable
• Reduces the frizzy effect
• Repairs damaged ends and minimizes hair loss
