Monica Muses:
Is it better to apply deep conditioner while your hair is dry or will it absorb it better if you apply it while your hair is wet? Also is it true that the mayonnaise and the eggs are great deep conditioners for hair? My friends have tried it and swear it works…

And Grace Guesses:
Is it true that avocado makes a great conditioner for hair? How does it work? What would be the best way to condition my hair with avocado?

The Right Brain’s Replies:
As we previously discussed, deep conditioners aren’t really very different from regular conditioners (unless you’re talking about oil based treatments.) Therefore, you can apply them to wet hair right after shampooing. For best results you should work the conditioner into your ends first because that’s where most of the damage is. Don’t over-apply at the scalp because your roots don’t need it as much and you might weigh your hair down.

Regarding mayonnaise, eggs and avocado: they’ll make a fine salad but they won’t really do much for your hair. Modern conditioning ingredients are FAR more effective at smoothing the cuticle and protecting from heat damage than these ingestible ingredients. As we’ve noted before, some vegetable oils (like coconut oil) are good conditioners but even they work best when blended with other ingredients. By themselves, these foods won’t do much for your hair at all.

The Brains‘ Bottom Line:
If you’re hell-bent to rub avocado and eggs in your hair, go for it. Just let us know how you apply it and if you like it better than your regular conditioner.
