Honey/Mayo Replacement for Straight Hair?

[that_1_grrrl]

Early last month, I was experimenting with my hair. I put my dry hair in large twists over night. The next morning, I put a mixture of honey and mayo on my twists. I kept it in a for 15 minutes I believe. At that point, I unraveled all my twists. My hair was nearly straight. It just had a few waves at the end. Very cute!

The problem is I had to wash out the mayo/honey, thus getting rid of the straight effect (my hair was significantly stretched though). I then went on to *** up my hair by applying Smooth 'N Shine and trying to blow dry it. Uh... yeah.

So, I have a three-fold question. 1) Was it the honey, mayo, or both that helped my achieve the straightness, 2) What product(s) could I use (and not have to wash out) in place to get the same effect?, and 3) Is there anything I could add to honey that would prevent me from having to wash it out?

TIA

i've used this same mix as a sub for caramel treatment, i noticed the same thing - elongated curls...you can use a little honey as a leave-in so why not try using them both in a spray bottle with water and see what happens? Just dilute them and try it, maybe your hair will stay straighter. But i've been doing this treatment on my daughter's natural waistlength hair as well, and i love it...when i'm too lazy to caramel, i do this and the results are almost as good, not quite as moist....as a matter of fact, i put it on last night and let her sleep with it. this morning, i'll poo and blow dry and flat iron hair and it'll be beautiful...

Thanks, that's a good idea. I think I'll try mixing honey with a conditioner and the applying it to large twists. I'll see what happens!

i finished my dd's hair yesterday, and ofcourse, it looks great. stretched moisturized curls, no tangles, gleaming hair....mayo and honey really works.... it used to be such a chore doing her hair, between this and caramel i can wash, dry and flatiron her hair in about an hour and a half....her hair is 3c, waistlength, virgin...
