For those looking to save a few bucks on hair products, check out this recipe for a homemade deep conditioning treatment, designed to add strength and moisture to the hair.

In a small bowl, mix:

1 cup of real mayonnaise
1/2 firm yet ripe avocado
2 tablespoons of sweet almond oil or coconut oil

Mix with a wooden spoon or your finger until the treatment is a thick green color. Apply to the length of the hair and ends. Cover with a plastic cap or saran wrap and let sit for 20-30 minutes. Rinse and shampoo. Follow with a light conditioner or leave-in.

Your hair should feel soft yet strong. The mayonnaise adds strength and body to the hair while the avocado and oil add moisture and shine. Just make sure to use real mayonnaise, nothing with a ton of artificial ingredients. For best results, opt for an organic brand.
