Nope I haev never tried it! Would be interesting to make though!
HEre are a couple of recipes I've found, but haven't gotten around to trying yet:

Beat the egg yolk until its frothy, add the oil then beat again. Add to the water. Massage into the scalp and throughout your hair. Rinse well.

Deep Conditioner

Avocados contain vitamin B6 & vitamin E
The Ingredients
* 1 small jar of real mayonnaise
* 1/2 of an avocado
The Instructions
Put together in a medium bowl and squish together with your hands until it's a minty green color. Smooth into hair all the way to the tips. Put on a shower cap or wrap your head with saran wrap.
Leave on for 20 minutes. For deeper conditioning put a hot, damp towel around your head -over the saran wrap. And if you have really long hair and only need deep conditioning at the ends, cut the ingredients in half and apply only to the ends and just wrap them.

4 - 12g essential/fragrance oils (1 -3%)
* combine the phase A ingredients and heat to 70deg C whilst stirring
