    Blending Procedure:

    1. In a bowl and using a large spoon, stir the mayonnaise, then add the egg and jojoba oil.

    2. Add the essential oil, drop by drop, continuing to stir all the while.

    3. To use, wash and rinse your hair as usual. Towel dry and then apply Hair Food liberally to damp hair, making sure to get the ends. Use all of this recipe for long and/or thick hair, less for short and/or thin hair. (Any leftover can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days.)

    4. Massage Hair Food in and cover your hair with a plastic cap. Leave covered for at least 20 minutes. (I leave mine in for at least an hour.)

    5. Rinse out Hair Food and follow up with a cream conditioner.

    "I'm a black woman with chemically- and color-treated hair and this recipe worked very well on my hair. It worked better than alot of the hair products that I have in my stash. Will be using this very often. And the smell didn't bother me at all. Keep these recipes comin'."
