DC with Mayo...?

[lp318lp]

Hey Ladies!

I am about to start DC with mayo and a Hot 6 Oil mix. Would it be possible for someone to please share your mayo DC regimen? I know the high-protein content has to be done with care, so any advice or suggestions would help!

Thanks,
me~

When I use it I add some kind of humectant like honey, agave, molasses, etc. and a moisturizing conditioner to even out the protein.

Hopefully others will chime in!

Don't forget to follow it with a good moisturising DC

I usually add honey and essential oils if I am conditioning with mayonnaise.

Thanks for the advice, Soun!

So do you DC for, say an hour or so, then DC for like a half hour with a moisturising DC? (Need some outlining...).

Thanks again!

I don't know if it counts as a DC, but my detangling mix has a healthy dose of mayo. I don't use heat with it, but because it takes me so long to apply it and detangle, it's on my hair for around an hour. I mix equal amounts mayo and conditioner, maybe a few squirts of oil. I slather it on in sections and detangle my hair. Then I wash with shampoo and I may or may not use conditioner after this. My hair feels really great after shampooing the detangling mix off, so I don't think the conditioner is strictly necessary. But my hair doesn't seem to be in any way protein sensitive.

I know a lady that does this. Her hair is amazing btw. She said that she applies the mayo, without anything added to it, to her hair for 30 minutes. I don't remember if she follows with a moisturizing conditioner or not but I would.

Oh yeah, I got the idea from this video:

She detangles first and then does the mayo treatment, but I put the mayo first and then detangle because mixing it with a slippery conditioner is a really helpful detangler, the best I've found yet (aside from eggs + condish, which left me with eggy bits)

Hey Vestaluv1,

Do you put the essential oils in the mayonnaise?

Thanks,

I like your mix and detangling regimen. And my hair is actually THRIVING from the monthly protein treatments, but I'm in a place where I can't get to my hairdresser for the treatments, so I wanted to still continue adding protein to my hair so that it will continue to grow healthy.

Thanks, again, Mwedzi!

Thanks, Tishee!

My mother used to make us do this back in the day, but we never got really good results. We weren't consistent either. I know a few people who also do like the lady you mention, and their hair is always slammin'!!

I think that moisturizing afterwards is smart, though.

Thanks!

LOL!! I know you right!

But since I can't get my usual protein treatment in... push is goin' to shovin'...

Thanks,

Why does every where else on the web say that using mayonnaise on hair is moisturizing? They say it can be a moisturizing conditioner versus a protein conditioner.

 

[lp318lp]

Hello dany06,

This is late in replying, but I would think that mayo was a protein conditioner because the main ingredients are eggs; and, as we all know, eggs are a HIGH source of protein.

Where on line did you find this information?

I do a protein treatment as a prepoo mixed with an oil sheen. Then I use intensifying moisturizing shampoos and conditioners.

 

[lp318lp]

Poodlepizzared (I like that name),

What exactly is a "prepoo?" Also, what type of intensifying products do you use?

Lol, thank you!

Pre-pooing is simply a pre-shampoo treatment, which is applied to the hair and/or scalp, left on for a period of time and then shampooed out. It provides added moisture, and helps condition the hair. Pre-pooing often helps protect the hair from the harsh shampooing process. The majority of the buildup we are trying to remove lies on our scalp, not our hair (especially if you are not using a lot of product). Our hair really only needs the conditioning aspect of the wash cycle. Using an oil or a conditioner can help provide a barrier between the hair and the harsh detergents in the shampoo.

I use the pantene relaxed and natural collection. My regimen is, I prepoo with Organic Root Stimulator (ORS) hair mayo mixed with ORS oil sheen spray. I let that stay on for a few hours. Then I rinse with pantene anti-dandruff moisturizing shampoo about 2-3 times, and condition with pantene intensifying moisturizing conditioner.
