I got the same comment from DH once, except the "newt" poor thing was a salamander and really was in the bathtub, fortunately we found him before the cat, 'cause she would have squashed him.

I use many things from my kitchen in my hair. I've never been able to find a commercial deep conditioner that does what I can do at home.

Honey
Mayo
Eggs
Avacado
Molasses
ACV
EVOO
Coconut Oil
Safflower Oil
Banana
Strawberry
Thyme, Rosemary, Parsely, Cilantro, Mint
Yogurt
Heavy Cream
Milk
coco milk
baking soda

...and probably some other things that i'm forgetting at the moment.

Honey, EVOO, Coconut Oil, occasionally ACV. Tried an egg shampoo once and have no opinion one way or the other. Have used Mayo and Yogurt but not as a consistent treatment

Camellia oil, avocado oil, plum kernel oil, both shea and cocoa butter, aloe vera and sometimes honey.

Coconut Oil, EVOO, Honey, Lemon, Vinegar (any type) herbs (dry & fresh) Tea (all sorts) Cinnamon, Cardamom, Nutmeg, Cloves, Mayonaise, Sugar, Salt, Oats...

I am considering using Cocoa powder in some kind of hair mask - but haven't yet refined it!

I've been known to apply Tomato paste... Interested in Carrot at some point... Anyone done a Peanut Butter hair mask yet?

i did a peanut butter mask for getting gum out. It did get them gum out but made my hair feel really gross. I do not reccommend it.

I wonder if olive oil would have worked better?

End of hijack!

Well it WAS avocado until I made a treatment consisting of coconut milk and avocado blended. Now I had bought two avocados, one for hair and one for lunch...well when I began to eat one for lunch my throat began to close up and my mouth itched terribly. So I threw it away. Still thinking using it in my hair shouldn't be a problem, I went forward with it....and

it burned sooooooooooooooo bad I wanted to cry!! I didn't realize I was THAT allergic to it! My hair felt soft but boy did my scalp burn! So for now I stick to coconut milk, yogurt and bananas. They do my hair lovely!
