Many people, especially those with dull, frizzy, and dry hair, use regular conditioner to strengthen and
smoothen their hair. However, some products may not be good for their hair, as some products contain lots of
chemicals and can be expensive. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of effectiveness of regular
conditioner and mayonnaise infused with aloe vera conditioner and whether there is a significant difference or not
between using regular conditioner and mayonnaise infused with aloe vera conditioner. A systematic/cluster (?)
sampling technique was used in this study. The population was composed of ten (10) subjects for regular conditioner
and ten (10) subjects for mayonnaise infused with aloe-vera conditioner. The results stated that the subjects were
satisfied with the effectiveness of regular conditioner and mayonnaise infused with aloe vera conditioner and that
there was a significant difference between the two. It means that mayonnaise infused with aloe vera conditioner is
effective and can be used as an alternative to regular conditioner.

we need to check first if our hair is naturally oily or
dry, because if we just apply it without knowing,
instead of helping ourselves to improve, we will just
degrade the quality of our hair. Using it will take a
few weeks before we see the results because it will
not happen overnight.
This study aims to determine the effects of
aloe vera-infused mayonnaise on dry and damaged
hair. Can it be an alternative product for damaged
hair? Can this method help us save money? What are
the benefits of mayonnaise for our hair? These are the
questions that we are going to focus on in this study.
Instrument
In this study, the researchers ought to
evaluate and find data with the use of questionnaires.
After the experiment in which homemade
mayonnaise was used to study how it affected various
hair problems, researchers planned to use a pretest-
posttest strategy to accurately collect data both before
and after the application of homemade mayonnaise.
The results of the effects that could occur at the
various forms of hair problems will be provided by
the pretest-posttest design.
