Tips & Tricks : Egg for your hair

Egg is one of nature’s little treasures. It contains protein and all the vitamins, minerals, amino and essential fatty acids to make it a complete meal. Egg is a rich source of protein and biotin, two ingredients that are added to many hair products to improve hair strength and health. The amino- and essential fatty acids help to moisturise your hair and improve the hair structure by smoothing out the “scales” of hair strands and thus giving more shine to your hair naturally.

You can make your own cost-effective and intensive hair treatments with ingredients that you have in your kitchen. Use any of these recipes once a week for intensive hair treatments that your hair will love. Increase or decrease the ratios as desired, and discard any unused product. Let us know which one works for you or if you have any recipes of your own to share 🙂
