| My mom used to make a concoction of mayo, avocado and raw eggs to put on my hair. I hated it so much and I screamed and yelled every time she'd slap the goo on my hair and wrap it in plastic wrap. But, as always, mom knew best. It kept my hair really strong and shiny...that is, until mom didn't do it anymore and I screwed up my hair when I dyed and straightened it. | |
