Natural Protein Hair Treatment at Home (Budget-Friendly & Effective!)

 Natural Protein Hair Treatment

By Joanna Vidal



Hi beautiful people! I’m Joanna, and if you’re like me to share my way—dealing with frizzy, dry, or damaged hair on a tight budget—you’ll love this easy DIY hair treatment. I’ve tried many store-bought products, but nothing beats the magic of natural ingredients straight from the kitchen. In this blog, I’m sharing my go-to one-ingredient treatment that brings life back to my hair—without the salon price tag.

Why Natural is Better

I believe that self-care doesn’t have to be expensive. While salons offer amazing treatments, they can also cost a lot of money and time. So why not give your hair the same love at home using safe, affordable ingredients?


Today’s star ingredient: Mayonnaise!


Yes, mayo isn’t just for sandwiches—it’s packed with protein, natural oils, and vitamins that help strengthen and moisturize hair.

What You’ll Need:

  • 2–3 tablespoons of mayonnaise (any brand or homemade)

  • A small bowl

  • Wide-tooth comb or brush

  • Hair clip

  • Hair cap or clean plastic wrap

How to Apply Mayo Hair Treatment:

  1. Prep the mayo – Scoop the mayo into your bowl.

  2. Section your hair – Divide your hair into parts to make application easier.

  3. Apply evenly – Use your hands to coat your hair from root to tip.

  4. Massage the scalp – Gently massage your scalp for 1–2 minutes to improve circulation.

  5. Wrap it up – Clip your hair and cover it with a cap or plastic wrap.

  6. Let it sit – Leave the treatment on for at least 1 hour.

  7. Rinse and wash – Rinse with lukewarm water, then wash using your favorite shampoo and conditioner.

  8. Dry gently – Towel dry or air dry. You can also blow dry on low heat, but leave a little moisture in for best results.

The Results

Your hair will feel soft, light, shiny, and nourished—like you just got a protein treatment from the salon! I recommend doing this once a week or whenever your hair feels extra dry or damaged.



Final Thoughts:

Taking care of your hair doesn’t need to cost a fortune. With a little time and one simple ingredient, you can give your hair the love it deserves. I hope you try this out and feel as confident and refreshed as I do every time I use it!

True Friends Vs Fake Ones

True Friendship is Rare and it’s Okay By Joanna Vidal Hi, I’m Joanna the voice behind Unjoannables Blog. I share honest stories from the heart, inspired by real-life experiences. From friendship lessons and personal reflections to beauty tips, travel adventures, lifestyle hacks, and more, this blog is my little corner where I connect with others through truth and growth. I believe in kindness, faith, and the power of healing through words. Thanks for being here, I hope you find something that speaks to you. People often say that true friends are the ones you meet during childhood. But now that I’m in my 30s, I’ve walked away from many friendships I once thought would last forever. Maybe some would say I have an attitude problem, but for me, I simply let go when I feel unappreciated, when the friendship I’m trying to build doesn’t feel mutual. As I grow older and more independent, I’ve learned that having many friends isn’t as important as having a few real ones. One or two genuine peop...

Philippine Business Story

A Filipino Family Business Story: How Our Small Beach Business Became a Legacy By Joanna Vidal A photo of an aerial view of our village and nearby areas, showing the seaside and the river that connects to the sea.  (Photo credit to the owner.) Welcome Back, My Dear Readers! Today’s blog post is extra special, it’s deeply personal, nostalgic, and close to my heart. I’m sharing the story of our family business back home in Pangasinan, Philippines. If you’ve been following my journey, you already know I’m a proud Filipina, born and raised in a small seaside village. My childhood was filled with simple joys and the kind of life where every family member played a role in helping make ends meet. We didn’t have much, but we had each other, and the ocean. One of the most unforgettable parts of my childhood was helping with our small beachside business: renting nipa huts (locally called kubo) to day-trippers and vacationers. These weren’t fancy resorts, just humble bamboo cottages with that...
