How to Moisturize Hair With Eggs

Eggs are rich in protein.

Many people experience the drying of their hair due to styling products, perms, color treatments and exposure to the elements. Dry hair often loses its luster and becomes brittle, which leads to breaking and split ends. Some store-bought hair moisturizers are expensive. One way to save money while moisturizing your hair is to create your own conditioning mixture, using eggs as a primary ingredient.

Things You'll Need

• 1 Egg
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• Shower cap
• Shampoo

Instructions

1. Crack a raw egg into a small bowl.

2. Add 2 tbsp. of olive oil to the bowl as well.

3. Blend the egg and oil with a fork for about 1 minute.

4. Dip your hands into the egg mixture and massage the treatment into your hair, beginning at your scalp and working down to the ends of your hair.

5. Place a shower cap on your head and wait for 15 minutes.

6. Rinse your hair. Shampoo it with a gentle shampoo and rinse again.

Tips & Warnings

• For extra conditioning, add 1 tbsp. of mayonnaise to the mixture.
