Avocado-Mayo Conditioner

Hydrate dull, dry hair with this special deep conditioning treatment. Since the conditioner is homemade, you don’t need to worry about all those nasty, color- and moisture-stripping chemicals!

• Combine a small jar of mayonnaise, two egg yolks and a 1/2 avocado in a bowl and mix with a fork to make conditioner.
• Smooth the mixture onto your hair working from root to tip, paying special attention to split ends.
• Wrap your hair with plastic wrap, then place a hot, damp towel over the plastic.
• Leave on for 25 minutes, then rinse conditioner out thoroughly with cool water. Voila — soft locks that are homemade!

• Combine ginger juice, 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice in a small container.
