This a very old post which I am republishing due to a comment I received. The title of the post seems to be misleading and gives away that the post talks about another type of protein which can be applied on hair. Unfortunately, this post only talks about an alternative way of using egg for hair care. I am extremely sorry for the confusion created.
Today, I would be talking about the goodness of egg for our hair. Well, we have all grown up listening to the fact that egg is extremely rich in proteins and should be made a part of our daily diet. And, we also know that egg is extremely good for our hair too. Egg turns our hair into silk. It makes hair smooth, soft and shiny. Regular application of egg makes hair healthy. But, there is a big downside to applying egg and that is its SMELL. Yes, many people dislike the smell of egg and hence, do not prefer to apply it. There is an alternative to get rid of the smell and get the goodness of egg. An Egg Shampoo.
Method of Application: You can turn your regular shampoo into an egg shampoo by just adding an egg to it. Take a little shampoo in a separate bowl and add a whole egg. Mix the mixture properly. And, while you apply the shampoo, wait for 10-15 minutes before washing off.
Your bathroom would stink with the smell of egg but not your hair. And, you do not even need to apply a conditioner as egg takes care of your hair better than a conditioner does. And, you can carry out your last rinse with tea or lemon juice. Both give shine to your hair and ensures no smell of egg remains on your hair as your hair dries off.

Where’s the alternative? I am allergic to eggs. I thought this article would feature another type of protein. Thank you anyway.

ummm….sorry I didn’t think it would come across in that way. what I meant was not as a hair mask. but, you could try yogurt. it works really well.

Your hair definitely won’t smell of egg? I tend to avoid applying egg on my hair mainly because I keep sniffing egg no matter what I do.
Swati says
hey Sangeeta. I had tried this trick long long back but as far as I remember, there was no smell afterwards. but, yeah, make sure you do not try it during the PMS time 🙂

Dear Swati,
Eggs are definitely good for hair growth and treats dry scalp very effectively.
Instead of using the eggs directly ( as it might seem messy ) you can try using Egg oil(Eyova )
Swati says
hi Ahana. yes, that is absolutely true. I have already reviewed eyova oil and will link it form this article.
