Myth 15: Applying mayonnaise to your hair will make it glossier.

Mayo is made with an oil base, and it makes hair shine. But to avoid a mess, try this method:

- Apply a cup of mayonnaise mixed with a teaspoon of vanilla extract (to cut the mayonnaise scent) to dry, unwashed hair.

- Cover your head with a warm towel to help the mayonnaise penetrate, and leave it on for 20 minutes.

- Before you step into the shower, apply a heaping handful of shampoo to your hair. Don't add any water yet; just massage it in thoroughly for several minutes. That will help break down the excess oil, says Berkovitz.

- Rinse with cool water in the shower and your hair will come out shiny and silky.

If the idea of putting a condiment in your hair makes you queasy, try a rich glossing treatment, such as Phytonectar Ultra-Nourishing Oil Treatment ($30, drugstore.com), which contains egg and rich oils, the basic ingredients in mayonnaise.

The only thing I would add to this is to add some essential oils(Example:peppermint oil, rosemary oil, tea tree oil), and non essential oils(example: grape seed oil, olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil), and cover everything with shower cap to avoid a messy towel.
