I went through a period of time where I was putting egg whites in my hair, to do whatever good egg whites are supposed to do to your hair. My mom's friend told me that she put mayo in her hair because it's so much easier to spread than egg whites. She recommended that I put it in the microwave for a couple seconds so it's not so cold on my scalp. Well I the first time I tried that, I put the mayo in the microwave for too long. The smell was the most repulsive thing I'd smelled before or since. It was quite a while before I could eat mayonnaise again.
