Applying egg to your hair is a popular DIY hair treatment, and it's surprisingly simple. Here's how to do it:
- Mix the egg: For a basic egg hair mask, crack 2-3 eggs into a bowl and whisk until frothy. You can add 2-3 drops of lemon juice to help reduce the egg scent.
- Apply the mixture: Apply the egg mixture to your hair, working it through from roots to ends. Make sure to cover all of your hair evenly.
- Cover your hair: Once your hair is coated, cover it with a shower cap to keep it from drying out.
- Let it sit: Leave the egg mask on your hair for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
- Rinse with cold water: After the allotted time, rinse your hair thoroughly with cold water. Use a mild shampoo to remove any lingering egg residue.
Tips for using egg on hair:
- For dry hair: You can use the whole egg as a hair mask.
- For oily hair: You can use just the egg white.
- For hair growth: Egg yolks are rich in vitamins and minerals that can promote hair growth.
- For stronger hair: Eggs are a good source of protein, which helps to strengthen hair strands.
- For a smoother hair: Eggs can help to condition hair and make it more manageable.
Remember that everyone's hair is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. Always do a patch test before applying a new hair treatment to your entire scalp. If you experience any irritation, stop using the treatment and consult a doctor.
