The Best Egg Masks For Hair

When removing your egg masks, remember to rinse your hair with lukewarm water, never hot to avoid cooking the egg.

In addition, this gesture will allow you to close the cuticles of the hair.

If we had to name one of the main ingredients in homemade beauty treatments, the egg would undoubtedly be at the top of the list.

In the case of hair masks, this ingredient is present in most recipes.

In the following article, we’ll walk you through the different options so you can choose the one that’s right for you.

Egg properties for hair

The hair treatments that include egg yolk  have always existed.

The latter serves to strengthen the hair fibers to make them healthier and shinier, and give them back all their softness.

In addition, the egg helps prevent split ends or hair loss.

If you want to have healthy, strong, and soft hair, do not hesitate to add egg to your treatments.

You will manage to hydrate them and take care of them thanks to simple masks before your usual shampoo.

You can simply use a beaten egg on your hair to get really good results.

The yolk contains proteins and fats which naturally hydrate the hair.

Egg white provides enzymes and removes excess sebum (which is ideal for those with oily hair).

You should always leave this mask on for 20 minutes, then rinse it off with cold water. 

Then wash your hair with your shampoo and conditioner as usual.
