Go Wild and Rub Mayonnaise and Tomatoes Through Your Hair

Vinegar, avocado, tomatoes, mayonnaise and even cornstarch can make your hair look fabulous, but don’t forget to wash it off.
Light coloured hair sometimes goes green after contact with chlorine in the pool. This can be resolved by taking a good handful of tomato ketchup, rubbing it through your hair, leaving for twenty minutes and rinsing well.
If you have a special occasion coming up and you want your hair to look sleek and healthy take half an avocado, mash it, add a tablespoon of mayonnaise and mix it well in. Comb through the hair and leave for ten minutes before rinsing out. Your hair will look fabulous.
Take an egg yolk and whisk in a cup of water and a teaspoon of baby oil. Use as a conditioner and rinse well. This will keep for about a week if you don’t use it all. (Cover it and keep cool.)
Cornstarch will absorb the oil in greasy hair and being it back to life. If you are really stuck sprinkle half a cup on your hair and brush through.
To treat dandruff, take half a cup of white vinegar mixed with half a cup of water. Apply to the scalp before shampooing the hair. The acid will remove the dead skin cells from the scalp.
Take two teaspoons of gin and two egg yolks. Whisk together until frothy and apply as a hair tonic. This gives a wonderful healthy gleam to hair and makes it look thick and bouncy.
For fast hair conditioning take half a cup of real mayonnaise and comb through. Put on a shower cap and leave for twenty minutes before rinsing.

Good tips. It’s going to take some getting used to your (pen) name change. Your writing is still as talented as always.

Many thanks for the comment, Judy. It’s taking some getting used to for me too, but I need to do it to bring it in line with other things I’m doing.

Another tip – dilute the juice of 1 lemon in half a cup of water, and rinse your hair with it after washing (don’t wash out). Great for greasy hair, and creats natural-looking highlights over time. Can dry your hair, though.
