Does your Deep Conditioning mix drip? There might be a solution.


Hi people, I have been battling with a deep conditioning issue for almost a year now and finally, I found out the problem.

My prepoo mix is normally a mixture of honey, mayonnaise, olive oil and shea butter. When I heard of the wonders of castor oil, I decided to add castor oil. Shortly after, my prepoo mix started dripping on my body anytime I use it on my head. I love having the mix on my head overnight and if not, I’ll have it on for at least five hours. That’s my preference and it has worked well for me. The annoying part was the dripping problem. It dripped all over my neck that I had to carry tissue paper all the time. And if I sleep with the mix on, I have to cover my bed with a thick towel that can absorb the oil, even though my hair was covered with a plastic cap. It was really irritating. I tried to remedy this problem.

I discontinued the castor oil – Nothing happened
I reduced the amount of honey used – Nothing happened
I reduced the amount of olive oil – No changes
So I gave up! I continued it, with the annoying drips.

Someone recently got me mayonnaise from poundland. I was happy because it translates to about N255.00, while the same size of Bama mayonnaise will cost me N500.00. Last weekend, my Bama finished and I used the new mayonnaise for the prepoo. While mixing, I began to notice a difference.
On application on my head with my hands, I noticed it had a different feel, it didn’t feel too oily or messy and I instantly knew what was up. I knew for a fact that this mix wasn’t gonna drip one bit. In fact, I added a little more honey. The result? I slept all night drip-free

I figured out the problem. The mayonnaise I was using wasn’t thick or quality enough. So immediately it is whisked, it begins to melt so fast and once it comes in contact with my hair, what was meant to thicken the mix was what actually made it run. The oil in it was just too much, from the beginning.

Having dripping deep conditioning problem? Then check the mayonnaise used in the mix. I hope this has been able to help you.

    1. You don't have to DC for 5 hours or overnight. It was just my style at that period of my hair journey. Now I DC for only 2 hours.
