Mayo condition your hair: Just hold the mayo… and massage it into your hair and scalp just as you would any fine conditioner! Cover your head with a shower cap, wait several minutes, and shampoo. The mayonnaise will moisturize your hair and give it a lustrous sheen.

Woah! Never thought Mayo could be that versatile. I'm definitely telling my cousin about this, as she's got tons of crayon markings on her wall (because of her 6-year old daughter).

I never knew these until I read your post. I hardly use mayonnaise when I cook and apply on bread. These are useful tips but I think, when applied to plants may invite some hungry insects.

I love it being a crayon remover and I must admit that this is the first time I know it. I am just hoping it has the same effects on concrete walls.
