Above is a photo of Dax Roots Hair Mayonnaise from no other than the fabulous Imperial Dax! Now, take a look at the below photo--that lovely, wonder working mayo!
Have you ever heard of putting actual mayonnaise on your hair before showering? Have you ever tried it? I have! I had heard that mayonnaise--the kind you eat--was great for hair so I went to the kitchen and slathered it all over, nice and thick. When I went to shower, I had one heck of a time trying to get the greasy stuff out of my hair and off of my neck! I never tried that again until I used Dax's Hair Mayonnaise, which isn't the kind you eat and doesn't require lots of washing.
The second photo is the packet of Hair Mayonnaise with the product being pushed out so you can see the color. Funky bright yellow/orange like color! It's really neat.
The Hair Mayonnaise is part of Dax's Mineral oil and petrolatum-free haircare line.

How to use
The Hair Mayo can be used as a deep conditioning treatment/mask or as a regular conditioner.
For use as a deep conditioning treatment/mask:
Shampoo and condition as usual. Apply DAX Hair Mayonnaise generously, massage into scalp and comb through hair. Cover head with a damp, warm towel or plastic cap for 15 minutes. Rinse hair with cool water to seal cuticle and style as usual. For best results use at least once weekly as a hair mask.
For use as a regular conditioner:
After shampooing, apply DAX Hair Mayonnaise generously, massage into scalp and comb through hair. Leave on hair for 3 minutes. Rinse hair with cool water to seal cuticle and style as usual.
For hair that's recently been extremely damaged, you can massage Hair Mayo into scalp and from root-tips, then wrap in plastic wrap or a shower cap/scarf and leave in overnight. This happens to be my twin sister's preferred method. Her hair always looks so shiny in the morning, after she's washed it out. I however, don't usually have time to do all that so I apply before a shower and while I'm waiting, I'll do some work and then shower. When I'm in a hurry, I'll apply it right before my shower and let it hang out in there while I bathe and rinse last. That way it has some time to soak in.
Results
At the moment, I've just used the Hair Mayo a few hours ago and rinsed it out, shampooing with the Removing Shampoo and flat ironing a few minutes ago. I don't experience greasyness with the Hair Mayo like I had with regular food mayo. However, if you're prone to oily hair and are nervous about using the Hair Mayo, I recommend shampooing afterward with DAX'S Removing Shampoo as it cuts away all grease and grime and you can be sure that any residue will be removed. I doubt the Hair Mayo would leave any hair type greasy, but for extra assurance, the Removing Shampoo doesn't hurt.
What I noticed after using the Mayo and flat ironing my hair is that my hair is left much softer, but without static, which is what even a light conditioner does to my hair. Major plus that the Mayo doesn't! My hair feels lighter rather than weighed down. It also seems to be less fluffy and curly than it usually is after washing. I let my hair air dry and when it's finally dry, I'm a poofy freak! I have to flat iron asap or the poof gets worse. The Hair Mayonnaise has totally diminished all poof, static and frizz and I just finished ironing my entire head or hair in less than 10 minutes. I normally spend almost an hour. I find that the Removing Shampoo also helps tremendously with styling and ironing a poofy head.
Post Hair Mayonnaise, my hair is extremely soft, lightweight and has some shine! My hair is dull, never shines unless I've used something to help that along. At this very moment, my hair is so super shiny! It has never had this much shine.
If shine is your goal, the Hair Mayo is absolutely the best. If you're looking to tone down some poof and frizz, this will be a God-send! If you have dryness, dandruff or itchy scalp, massaging the Hair Mayo into the scalp for a few minutes will soothe and relieve flakes, dryness and itch.
Who can use?
The Hair Mayonnaise works wonders on dry and damaged hair, but can be used to enhance moisturization and shine in already healthy, non-dry hair as well. It's great for overprocessed, frizzy, static-y,extra dry and color treated hair. Since most of my damage does come from bleaching and ironing, I am seeing big changes.
DAX Hair Mayonnaise can be used on all lengths and textures of hair. It's also good for those who use alcohol based hair spray as alcohol dries out hair severely and the Mayo will replace lost moisture/nutrients.
