Mess-free way to apply egg to hair| Mamaearth Blog

Sometimes you don't need to invest in hefty treatments to beautify your hair. Those ingredients from your kitchen can also be proven good enough. Yes, we are talking about the centuries-old tradition of applying egg yolk or white to treat hair that is dry or damaged. It may seem a little messy but trust us; it is worth the benefits. So, if you want to learn a mess-free way to apply eggs to your hair, this post is for you.

Benefits of applying egg on hair

Before we dive deep, let's understand why eggs are considered healthy for your hair. Egg yolk is rich in vitamins that improve the tensile strength of the hair, preventing them from breakage. It is a superfood for your hair, saturated with vitamins A and E and a specific fat called lecithin, which helps to moisturize strands. So, if you want to improve the overall health of your hair, learning how to apply egg on hair seem to be the best remedy.

That yellow part of the egg which we usually throw away helps:

Supports hair growth
Treats hair fall
Enhances hair elasticity
Makes hair shiny and soft
Moisturizes and repairs strands
Reduces hair breakage
Combats flaky scalp

Did you know? The protein and fat in eggs moisturize the scalp, preventing the flakiness and itchiness that come with dandruff. So you can also apply egg on hair for dandruff-free strands. Healthline has explained some of the benefits of eggs in a detailed form, here's the link to it.

Your step by step guide to applying egg on hair

Here is a smart way to know how to apply egg on hair:

Prep the mixture: We take two eggs and crack them into a bowl, beating the mixture until the yolk and white gets mixed well. Depending on your unique hair care goals, you may add specific ingredients, such as honey, rosemary hair oil, yogurt, etc., to enhance the benefits. Mix the mixture well until a thick, smooth, consistent paste is formed.

Section your hair into parts: Dividing your hair into two or more sections will ease the application process and save you from the mess. You can use hair clips to secure each section and place a towel or a cotton cloth on your shoulder to prevent eggs from dripping on your clothes.

Apply the mixture: You can use a clean brush or comb to apply the mixture to your hair. Start with your roots and go all the way down to the ends. Remember, one section at a time. Finally, when all the sections are done, gently massage to get the mixture evenly distributed on your scalp.

Comb through: Once you have applied the mixture, you can use a wide-toothed comb, allowing the product to distribute evenly throughout. This will coat each hair and ensure that strands are detangled. Combing through also prevents breakage while washing hair and yields better results.

Let it sit and then rinse: Leave the mixture on your hair for 15 minutes, then rinse off with normal water. Make sure to rinse until all traces of the egg mixture are gone. Once you have rinsed the mixture, wash your hair with a gentle shampoo and conditioner to remove any residual odor. This will leave your hair feeling fresh and clean.

A piece of advice: Post-cleansing, we recommend applying a nourishing hair serum to lock in moisture to the strands. A hair serum keeps frizz at bay and helps tame unmanageable hair with ease.
