How to make egg masks for hair growth
Egg hair masks could be an excellent complement for your hair, since in addition to providing it with nutrients, they give it a spectacular shine.
If we had to name one of the main ingredients of the most effective home beauty treatments, it would undoubtedly be the egg. This common food is not only capable of providing us with benefits through diet, but also externally in matters of beauty.
Properties of the egg for hair
Hair treatments that include egg yolk have been around for years and have inspired the creation of various product lines, as this is a nutritious food with the potential to strengthen strands and make hair softer and shinier.
The yolk contains proteins and fats that serve to naturally moisturize, while the white provides enzymes and removes excess oil (perfect for those with oily hair).
In any case, you should leave it for 20 minutes and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Then, shampoo and condition as usual.
