Avocado/Mayonnaise Deep Conditioner

I've decided to use Poofy as a guinea pig for all sorts of made in the kitchen hair recipes. 

I mean, I'm not too hot with styling and what-not, so trying out mixtures seems like a useful 

contribution to make instead, lol. There's only so many things I can rant about (lie- there's only 

so many things I can summon the energy to rant about, really). 

So, first up is an avocado and mayonnaise deep conditioner. I wanted a deep conditioner that didn't involve any actual conditioner, since I've never done that before. Also, this can be made into a protein treatment, but I'm going to try that at a later date. 

Ingredients

Avocado

Honey

Coconut oil

Mayonnaise

Avocadoes with honey, starting the concoction

Blend everything together. You can try and do it by hand, but avocado is a bit of a tricky thing to turn into a paste. You will also need a gangsta belnder, as mine started shrieking when I set it on liquify, coupled with a smell of burning, I decided to call it quits and settle with the paste I got. 

I don't put quantities anymore because I think it's going to vary too much depending on your hair. BGLH has recently pointed out that we should learn our hair instead of learning strict regimens, and I urge all to follow this advice. Change ingredient amounts based on what your hair might need, if you're not sure, experiment. For example, I hate using liquid mixtures on Poofy, so I try to keep my mixtures as a thick paste. For this reason, I did not use coconut milk in this deep conditioner because it would have thinned out the paste far more than I wanted.

Process

As usual, I shampooed Poofy with her anti-dry scalp tingly shampoo, then I slapped the deep conditioner on. Due to the punk ass nature of my blender, I had avocado bits that were left in the paste, which I either picked out or tried to smoothen with my fingers.

I then put on a plastic shower cap and let it sit for about 45 minutes, while watching this awesome anime I just discovered on Netflix called Blood+, but you gotta say it with a deep growly voice. Also, the main character's name is Saya, and we're totally going to make a drinking game where you take a shot every time they say her name (they say it a lot), or every time one of the characters makes an inarticulate anime noise that's oddly sexual (they do that a lot).

ANYWAY.

Then I rinsed Poofy out with slightly cold water- bump actually cold water, it is way too cold to be subjecting my scalp to numbing ice water.

Outcome

Poofy before shea butter

I must say- all natural products rock my world. I didn't get the exaggerated curling that happens when I use Organix, but I don't think that's necessary. You see, what I did get was amazingly clean hair. I feel that with conditioners, there was this extra layer coating my hair even after I rinsed it out, a thin slick layer. With the avo-mayo deep conditioner, my hair felt...clean. I wish I had a better word, lol. It felt healthy, moisturized, bouncy and not weighed down in the least by any residue. 

I did have to pick out pieces of avocado, so let me reiterate the point about the blending. Be gangsta with it. 

I was so excited about how good Poofy felt, I totally made Lobster admire it for much longer than he probably wanted to, lol. It just felt nice to feel like Poofy wasn't laden with product residue, that she had been nourished, you know. I still needed to apply my shea butter + coconut oil blend (the winter here is fierce. Fierce with a side-eye fierce), and she looked even better after that. 

I'ont give a damn about the frizz, that's as much a part of my hair as the curls.

Go ahead and try this treatment, or your variation thereof, and come back to gist us about the results, cos I wanna know. 

Bug Miss Fizz to try it out, too :)

PS- I put a thin coat of the mixture on my face (I have naturally dry skin) and it was the shizznittt!! Just sayin'
