Using an egg yolk for hair care can lead to some great results and the best part is that these results show themselves fairly quickly. There are many different ways to use all that eggy goodness to make your locks look lovelier. 

Most common questions asked about egg and its hair care benefits are as follows:

q.1: Is It Good to Put Egg in Your Hair?

Egg is rich in proteins, vitamins and fatty acids, which are all essential for a good hair health. Hence, it is actually good to apply egg on hair regularly!

q.2: Which Part of Egg Is Good for Your Hair?

Eggs are rich in protein, however, egg whites have higher protein content along with traces of riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, sodium and potassium. All these are essential for hair growth!

While we are stating the whites are good, doesn’t mean, yolks are bad! Egg yolks are protein rich (lesser than whites), and also B complex vitamins and folic acids; again important for hair growth.

Hence both parts are good, but in a diet, whites are preferred and in hair packs yolks are preferred. This is just a preference, not a rule.

q.3: How Do You Wash Your Hair with Egg Yolk?

Just like you would use shampoo, you can use eggs to wash your hair with. It needs to be rinsed out with luke warm water. You do not need conditioner post such a wash. But if your hair is very frizzy, apply a leave-in conditioner post hair wash.

q.4: How to Get Rid of Egg Smell Post Egg Hair Masks?

If the smell lingers after these egg treatments, ensure that you add citrus juice in the egg “shampoos and conditioners” before applying it on the hair.
