Composition
-
Egg yolk contains vitamins A, E and D---all nutrients that nourish hair. Vitamins A and E prevent hair loss, including thinning of hair. Vitamin D helps improve the health, texture and luster of your hair. And all three vitamins protect hair from harmful UV rays, chlorine and pollution. Egg yolk can also help you prevent dandruff and maintain a healthy scalp.
Washing Your Hair
-
Hair follicles contain sebaceous glands, which produce an oily, greasy substance called sebum that increases in quantity each time you wash your hair. On the other hand, if you don't wash your hair frequently enough, this can lead to a decrease in sebum secretion and cause dry hair. Wash your hair at least two or three times each week to prevent it from becoming dry and brittle.
