Natural treatments based on egg yolk and dry hair

Egg yolk is very beneficial for dry, damaged hair with a tendency to split ends. When applied frequently, it provides hydration, shine, softness and prevents frizz.

You can benefit from this in three different ways:

• If you usually use conventional shampoo and your hair is very dry, you can use egg yolk every day.

Just mix the shampoo you usually use with egg yolk. This way you get a very cleansing, foamy but much more nutritious shampoo.

• Egg yolk can be a great conditioner for dry hair because it leaves hair feeling soft and hydrated.

However, so that there is no egg residue or odor, we recommend that you use it before shampooing, you will get an ideal effect and the hair will be clean as after every wash.

• As a more intensive treatment, you can prepare a nutritious mask with egg yolk combined with vegetable oil (coconut, almond, jojoba, olive, argan).

Apply it all over the hair and leave it on for at least half an hour.

Natural care for oily hair

In the case of oily hair, it is best to use egg white, as it is rich in enzymes, B vitamins, and selenium, among other nutrients.

Egg white has the virtue of regulating the production of sebum in the scalp. It can also be beneficial in treating dandruff and adding volume to straight hair.

• To use egg white, we recommend beating it a bit before applying it. It is necessary to make the application before washing the hair. Leave on for 20 minutes.
• To wash your hair after using egg white, always use lukewarm or cold water. If you use hot water, the egg white will turn solid and get tangled in your hair.

For normal hair

Normal hair can also benefit greatly from the nutrients of both white and yellow. Because they are both well balanced to provide what the hair needs.

• Just beat an egg, apply it all over your hair and leave it on for at least 20 minutes.
