Eggs on hair?

Anyone try this ? Ive seen this suggested as a good natural way to get protein. Anyone ever try this? If so did it work?

Tried it..... disaster so let me suggest that if you do that, dont rinse with hot water. I had a head full of scrambled eggs and face of stupidity full of tears

Was as thick and greasy as I'm thinking? I wanna try beer in my hair but I'm still scared to lol.

Beer is good but I never tried it. I did mayo, and was dry heaving while I rinsed with HOT WATER again!!!!

I just rinse with the beer and then with cold water, right? I might try it tonight.

The only natural product you should put on your hair are oils like advocado, olive, coconut and palm.
Don't waste your time or money on eggs, mayo or alcohol.

Beer buzz

There are several theoretical arguments for putting beer on your hair. Unfortunately, none of them can hold their liquor.
Beer contains protein which is good for strengthening hair.
While beer does contain corn, wheat, or rice protein it’s not in the correct form to deposit on your hair and form a stengthening film, which is how proteins work.
Beer has a low pH which can tighten the cuticles and make your hair shiny.
The pH of beer is low due to dissolved carbon dioxide but it’s not enough to make a difference to the condition of hair.
Beer contains herbs known as hops which are natural astringents that have beneficial tightening effect on the scalp.
Hops are present at a very low level and are not in contact with your skin long enough to have a measurable effect.
Beer contains alcohol which is good for removing dirt and grease from hair.
The cleansing power of the relatively low amount of alcohol in beer pales in comparison to shampoo.

i know with the mayonase my hair was gross looking and smelled like a nasty tuna salad for several days

***Bec688*** · 05-16-2009, 05:11 PM

I've done the beer and eggs combo, it smells absolutely vile, but it made my hair super soft and shiney!

Doya G · 05-16-2009, 09:00 PM

I tried the eggs more than once. super amazing! makes your hair soft and shiny...real shiny.

getting it out is a hassle. what i do is mix is with youghurt and henna. that way it wont smell so bad.

***reesesilverstar*** · 05-17-2009, 07:08 AM

Aprill, you made my morning!!!

I can go make breakfast now. I'm up. That was HILARIOUS!!!

I'll stick to the oils like Carolyn suggested tho...

Natural shampoo for dry hair: yolk, cognac and warm water. Cleans, nourishes.
Oily hair: well-beaten eggs whites. Rinsing with lukewarm water.
The mayo is good for dry, damaged hair as well as it contains oil and eggs.

i did egg white a while ago. it made my hair stiff as anything and took an hour to wash out! and it smelt really eggy.. and did sort of start to cook when i used hot water because the lukewarm water just wouldn't get it out. once my hair was dry too it still smelt eggy and felt stiff and gross. it wasn't shiny it just looked dull and smelly. horrible experience, never doing it again.

I remember trying something with avacado, egg and some other stuff. Didn't find my hair any shinier than before.

I love eggs for my hair - especially the yolks! That way, when I rinse it, it doesn't look like an English breakfast minus the bacon

Also, first shampoo, then rinse! That also goes for oils and stuff, but maybe you already knew that... And coooold water!

I have tried the egg and it just went horribly wrong!!

I use olive oil on my hair. I just massage it onto my scalp and hair and leave it on overnight and wash in the morning. Or you can apply it and wrap cling film round your head so that the oil can penetrate into your hair and scalp then wash off after an hour or longer if you want. Love it!!
