Transcript
00:00So how's your boyfriend? What are you wearing to prom? I'm like a Long Island hairdresser.
00:06Hi everyone, I'm Christina and I'm Jeff and welcome to Test Lab where we try out the internet's craziest trends
00:12so you don't have to.
00:13Unless we think you should. So today we're gonna be using peanut butter as a hair mask.
00:18Peanut butter is actually really good for your hair because it's super high in protein.
00:22And the protein in the peanut butter makes your hair grow longer and stronger.
00:25So that makes this mask work really well for people that have dry damaged hair, maybe a few split in.
00:31I have super long color treated hair and it tends to just get really dry and damaged.
00:36The bottoms of my hair are pretty dead, so it'd be nice to kind of just put a little extra
00:41life into them.
00:42So Jess, I think it's peanut butter jelly time.
00:46I was gonna say that.
00:49Smells like peanut butter.
00:52This is a lot of peanut butter.
00:53Wow. I think I should put this on.
00:55Yeah, let's put that on.
00:56You're just going for it.
00:58Okay. Oh my god.
01:01Oh, it feels weird. This is kind of nice. It's like a real thick conditioner.
01:05Why did I sign up for this? You're really enjoying this, aren't you?
01:07This is actually really fun.
01:10This is very relaxing for me.
01:12This is really relaxing for me. Can you do peanut butter hair masks on me like every weekend?
01:15Wait, put your hand up. It's kind of gross because there's like little hairs in it.
01:19Ew.
01:20Jess, I think this is, I think you're all good.
01:22Let me see this.
01:23You're a natural brown.
01:26It looks so disgusting.
01:29Yeah, it really does look gross.
01:30It looks like some type of feces. I'm not gonna lie.
01:34At least it's not mayonnaise. I feel bad for whoever had to do the mayonnaise version of this.
01:38Can you smell it?
01:40Here's your pretty blue shower cap.
01:42Let's put it in a little peanut-y top knot.
01:45Look at that. Let that soak in. Let that simmer.
01:48All right, so we use about 75% of this peanut butter on my hair. And your hair is just
01:53as long,
01:53so go for the gold.
01:55Bye hair. It was nice knowing you.
01:59Oh, look at my scoop. Oh my god.
02:03How does it feel?
02:04Creamy. It is tricky though because it gets tangly really fast.
02:08Like, I'm working it in all the little crevices.
02:12My masterpiece is finished.
02:14I look beautiful.
02:16Giselle, watch out.
02:18All right, wrap it up here. You have a lot of hair.
02:22There you go. We made a big mess.
02:24Oh god, that's disgusting.
02:2620 minutes and we will look like beautiful supermodels with this hair.
02:29You know what would pair really well with this peanut butter?
02:32Alcohol.
02:33Yeah, like a nice glass of wine. It's so nice.
02:37Oh my god, wine. That was easy.
02:39Cheers.
02:39Cheers.
02:40I think I saw a little bit of peanut butter floating in mine.
02:43Only thing we're missing is some little cucumbers on our eyes.
02:46So relaxing.
02:48I love spa days.
02:49We pretty much ate all this peanut butter.
02:51You drank all your wine.
02:53Unfortunately.
02:54The cucumbers are gone somewhere.
02:55I think it's time to rinse this out.
02:57I think so too.
02:59So we just washed all that peanut butter out of our hair and it took forever.
03:05But we got it all out.
03:06That was the most disgusting thing I've ever done.
03:08And my hair feels like crap.
03:11Compared to like actual hair masks, I thought it did not work at all.
03:15Washing it out was so time consuming.
03:18You have to rinse a lot and then really get in there with like your fingers and like
03:22with a friend's fingers to really get anything out.
03:26Once I got through it and started to like comb it,
03:29it started to feel super silky and soft, not gonna lie.
03:31But I did have to like throw out a giant clump of my hair.
03:35Some things are not meant to be DIY.
03:37And this is one of them.
03:39All right.
03:39So there you have it.
03:40We came, we saw, and we put an entire jar of peanut butter in our hair.
