Last summer my girls and I had head lice…TWICE! I used the expensive, harsh chemical treatment on my daughter’s head. She still had lice. So, I used mayo on her and on the rest of us, both times. It works so well! You need to keep it on for a couple of hours before rinsing. If you google “treating head lice with mayonaise,” many posts will come up. The idea is that the mayonaise will suffocate the lice. The only downside is the smell, so if we do it again, I will definitely try rinsing our hair with apple cider vinegar.
An easier Ranch dressing recipe is to get 3 packets of the Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix and then follow the instructions for making 2 packets. I don't remember how many cups it calls for but it is just mayo & buttermilk. If you like a thick Ranch use a little less buttermilk and if you like a runny ranch use a little more buttermilk. PS – It really does need that extra packet for a better flavor. This is our favorite Ranch Dressing but it spoils in a week and makes a lot – either have salad a lot or share with neighbors & friends.

I agree with Rachel. We Struggled with the head lice for months, doing the harsh and expensive chemicles at least 3 times with no success. I finally googled other remedies, and Mayo came up. I smothered mine and my daughters hair in it, put a shower cap on, and slept overnight (not very comfortable, but anything beats having lice!) After we got our showers, and combed once more with a nit comb…we were LICE FREE!

I use mayo in tuna salad(sandwiches… great for lunches!), deviled eggs, and potato salad. All are really great summer dishes!

Wow! Those are some great tips. I also like to dip my french fries in mayo. Yummy!
Thanks for the tips. I might have to try it on my hair this weekend. 🙂

This was a very entertaining post 😉
I never knew all of the wonderful uses for mayo; I got a ton for free, and I don’t even like it! I think I will donate most of it, and keep the rest… I have a HUGE fear of lice.

Thank you for posting this. I have just started couponing and stockpling. I ended up with 26 pounds of white rice, so I had to do a lot of research to find some “exciting” recipes for things with white rice. I also got 25 bottles of salad dressing. My family cannot eat that much salad during the next few months, so I am going to use some for marinades for meat and need to figure out what to do with the rest … I guess that is one of the dangers of stockpiling!!

I heard that you can polish an old boat with it and the paint looks new. I just did a 26 year old boat and a rather scummy motor with it. It is amazing!!! The old oxidized paint is shiny and dark and the motor looks brand new!!!

Good recipe from Kraft for Tuna Cakes that uses 1/3 cup mayo:
