Does Mayo make your hair smell?
Honestly, it can. And it makes sense as to why since the main ingredients are eggs and vinegar. If you’re worried about it smelling, this is when you could use coconut oil for a better smell if you’re making it on your own or simply invest in a good smelling shampoo and conditioner to use after your hair mask treatment.
