Strength: Using eggs on your hair can be a great way to repair your broken down hair and give it some much-needed strength, too.

Common Questions
Which part of the egg is good for the hair mask?
If your hair is normal, you can actually use the entire egg for your mask. If your hair is a bit greasy, you’re going to want to use only the egg white for the majority of your hair around your scalp so it doesn’t produce more oil.
How often should I do egg hair mask?
Monthly is probably sufficient when it comes to doing an egg hair mask. You don’t want to do it too much as it could make your own have a build-up.
I love this mask for my hair. We cannot get our hair done right now and my hair needs a pick me up, this is perfect and I have all the makings.
My daughter’s and I have been doing all the beauty things homemade style since covid. We’ll have to try this one, I’ve heard eggs make your hair shiny!
Oh my gosh, so I’ve heard of this but never actually tried it. My daughter was all in, though when I told her about this! Love the different recipes for different hair types too. Thanks so much!
This seems like a great idea! I need to give it a try!
Doing this with my daughters who are simultaneously fascinated and grossed out about the thought of putting egg in their hair. We have a never ending supply of eggs thanks to our chickens. Looking forward to making this a monthly tradition! Thanks for the recipe — I never would have thought to try this.
