Anybody use J.Maran body cream as a hair mask?

HarwichHelen — Sun, 28 May 2017 21:51:46 GMT

I'm looking for a good overnight hair mask for dry hair, hopefully with something I already have at home. Has anyone used Josie Maran's whipped body cream as a hair mask?

Wow I use all JM products, but never thought of trying the body butter...(I use Wen on my hair though)..I would think it would be hard to rinse out, but if you try it let us know..

I have products that are designed to be hair masks that are thicker than her body cream.I don't see why it wouldn't work...just whipped argon oil isn't it?

Mayonnaise. Plain and simple.

The best conditioner you'll ever use. It doesn't even have to be overnight. Just a couple of hours. Slather it on. Wrap in Saran Wrap. Watch a movie. Wash it out.

Never thought of mayo. Will it work on colored treated hair?

@De Anna

I don't see why not.

Also, a few drops of any oil (argon, olive, coconut, whatever you use on your face) drawn through your hair while it's still damp after washing is a leave-in conditioner. I think rosehips oil might lighten your hair, though.

I think this is genius, and too who would of thunk it! It's not heavy, and it's pure.Argan.

Really has anyone done this?

I guess that since I asked the question I should try it and let you all know how it works. I'll do it tonight! Just for reference, I have short, blond hair that is lightened and very fine. My hair tends to be dry, and no matter what I put on in the daytime as a leave-in or after cleansing, my hair still looks dry and not as shiny as I would like. And if I put oil on after cleansing, it looks too oily. So I'm hoping this will moisturize overnight. Will keep you posted!

@HarwichHelen Good luck. Am really interested to hear how this goes.

I have tried her Body Butter on my face, my hair, everywhere. I'll stick with pure argan oil on my hair as a leave-in. The BB is not pure argan oil.

Is her Body Cream different from her Body Butter?

I've used it as a leave in and sometimes later to refresh. I only use a wee little bit on dryer areas. I have which wavy hair. I think it helps the condition of my hair, but I have actual hair masks I use already, too. My scalp can get oily so I don't want to try this as a mask myself.

I couldn't stomach the smell of mayonnaise in my hair, and especially the after scent of it either. It smelled like I swam in the river, it took a couple shampoos to get the smell out.

@StraytoStay

Yeah. The mayo definitely smells. It's the egg.

Such is the price of beauty.

I don't use Josie's BB's as a hair mask, but I do run my hands thru my damp hair after a shower after I've used the BB on the rest of me & my hands still have some product on them before I blowdry my hair. I don't use enough to make my hair greasy, just enough to help tame the static flyaways.

@LinaL, I remember years ago women used mayonnaise. If I could just get past the smell. I detest mayonnaise. Lol!

Well, here's my report on this experiment. I slathered it on and slept with a towel on my pillow. It felt good on my hair and dried so it wasn't messy to sleep on. I washed it off in the morning; it came out easily. I was a little disappointed in the results because I expected my hair to look more moisturized and shiny. Instead, it was hardly different at all, maybe even a little duller and drier looking than usual. If I had just used argan oil I think the results would be better. I think I'll try that tonight!

Sorry, I said body cream but I meant body butter. I will stick to using plain argan oil or Wen oil as an overnight mask; I wasn't happy with the results from using the body butter.

I think I've found my perfect overnight hair mask. Last night I used a hefty amount of J. Maran's argan oil on my hair, paying special attention to the ends, and slept with a towel covering my pillow. This morning after I washed my hair, it was silky and shiny, with body and no oily look. I think that doing this a couple of times a week will take care of my dry, dull look. Happy to have a simple solution!
