Mayonnaise contain egg yolks which are protein. The protein helps to strengthen the hair follicles. This prevents further damage to the hair and helps to stop breakage.

The mayonnaise is also rich in fatty acids and vitamins such as vitamin A, D, folate and biotin. These vitamins help the hair to retain moisture. It is important for hair to stay moisturized. Moisture protects the hair from becoming brittle and prone to breakage.

Vinegar is also included in mayonnaise. It has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties that get rid of germs that make the scalp prone to bacteria and infections. This makes it great for combating against dandruff.
4. Helps with an itchy scalp
Mayonnaise also includes lemon juice. The citrus and Vitamin C in lemons help to absorb the excess oil. All these factors help to create a clean environment that will help alleviate an itchy scalp.
