| Big Ed preparing for his trip to the Philippines on 90 Day Fiancee: Before the 90 Days (S.4.1) |
That is exactly what I thought when my fiancee and I watched Big Ed from 90 Day Fiancee: Before the 90 Days apply mayonnaise to his hair. Now, if you've seen the show, you know that Big Ed isn't a stylish dude by any means. He's the kind of guy who'll wear a polo with his gym shorts and bright neon colored sneakers. Honestly, if not for his mayo hair mask in the first episode of season four, he wouldn't have any place on this blog.
But in attempt to appear younger and get shiny, stronger hair he turns to mayo, and earns himself a spot on this page. Congrats, Big Ed.
First off, when I first saw him take out the container of mayo from his fridge and tell us he was going to apply it to his hair, I thought it was a joke. I was thinking that there was no way this guy was going to use his huge spatula to put mayo on his head; in fact, I'd be willing to bet most people thought the same thing.
Even after he did it I was left wondering where he got his information.
But after doing a quick search on Google, I was even more shocked because I found that what he was doing can actually strengthen hair.
I'll say that again, although I'm sure it'll sound just as farfetched, but putting mayonnaise in your hair does have actual benefits.
So what are they, you're probably eager to know?
Well according to Ceara Milligan, mayo "makes an excellent deep- conditioning hair treatment". This is because the protein in the eggs strengthens hair while the oil helps moisturize it. Mayo also can promote hair growth and repair damaged hair caused by heat or coloring. If interested in reading more about the benefits and learning how to make your own hair mask, check out the full article.
On the show, Big Ed claims that he's very self-conscious about his physical appearance and that he wants to appear younger for Rose, his love interest who lives in the Philippines. Honestly, I have to say that if I were trying to look younger I wouldn't immediately take out the mayo. Then again, I'm not 54, so maybe he was desperate.
As of right now, I think I'll leave the application of mayo to hair to Big Ed.
But what do you guys think? Would you or have you ever used mayo in your hair? Do you think it's worth trying?
Also, I haven't really talked about hair styling or maintenance even though it's a pretty important part of being fashionable. Would you like to see more hair related posts or perhaps interview posts with someone who specializes in the topic?
Let me know in the comments.
