Hair masks with eggs – recipes
Hair growth mask
Eggs contain a lot of protein, so such a mask will help stimulate its growth. Hair consists mostly of keratin protein, which is why egg whites – on the basis of similarity of construction – help to regenerate damaged hair.
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs,
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil or any oil.
Place the egg and oil in a bowl. First of all, whisk the eggs with a fork to blend with the oil. Wash your hair with cleansing shampoo, then apply the egg mixture to your hair. Put on a shower cap or a plastic bag and leave it like that for about 10-15 minutes. At the end, wash it down with cold water and apply a conditioner, then rinse. Leave the hair to air-dry.
Mask for damaged hair
Eggs contain large amounts of protein, sulfur and biotin, which improve the condition of hair, but they are never added to ready-made cosmetics in their pure form. The reason is their short shelf life. They can be used at home just after the mask has been prepared.
Ingredients:
- 1 egg,
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil,
- 1/2 tablespoon of honey,
- 1/2 of the ripe avocado,
- 2 tablespoons of natural yoghurt.
Peel the avocado, separate from the stone and mash with a fork. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. If the mask is too thick, dilute with water (2 tablespoons should be enough). Then wash your hair with a cleansing shampoo and dry with a towel. Now apply the mask, put on a plastic cap or a plastic bag. Leave it on your hair for 20-30 minutes, then wash your hair with cold water and a shampoo. At the end, you can use a leave-in conditioner.
Dry hair mask
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana,
- 1-2 eggs,
- 1/2 glass of milk.
Rip a banana with a fork or blend it. Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl. You can either apply the mask to dry and combed hair or washed and wet, then put on a shower cap or a plastic bag. You can also wrap it with a warm towel. Leave the mask for 15-20 minutes and then wash the hair with cold water. In order to cleanse the hair thoroughly, wash gain with shampoo and apply a conditioner. Let the hair air- dry.
