Now, I perfectly agree with that because I myself have tried it and I totally love it. But, there is a huge catch with Egg. The Smell. Yeah, you all know how awesome it smells! And, now I am not able to bear it. And, my whole room and bathroom starts stinking so I am not able to use it anymore.
I have been applying curd very regularly in March but sadly it is not helping with the hair dryness. I don't know what's wrong with it because curd works fantastically. And, I do use homemade curd not the yogurts available outside. And, still no benefits. And, I have been seriously thinking of switching to egg. It does help hair dryness and provides nourishment.
But, how to avoid the smell? Well, first is Essential Oils. May be they will work unless egg is so powerful that it will overpower the goodness of EO's :D Ok, second, I heard in one of those home remedy videos that lemon juice helps reduce the stink from egg. Well, I do not know how true it is but seems worth a try. But, there is another catch. Lemon makes the hair extremely dry, at least for me. So, I tend to avoid it.
Or, may be, I would try using egg with musk root this time. And, that would be a working day so that I don't have to bear the egg smell all day long. It would dissipate till the time I am back. Only my maid would be cursing me :D Or, it is also said that if you mix egg with henna, it doesn't stink. So, probably I might go ahead and check out either of the remedies.
What about you? Do you apply egg on your hair? Can you bear the stink or you take some steps to reduce the stink? Would love to hear your remedies :)

I actually used egg for a while until for some reason i was getting a bit of a rash on my face for using it..but i found that if you mix it with olive oil, yogurt, a squeeze of lemon...its usually fine...i kind of found the smell of olive oil to be too annoying :)
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh...you also faced the same issue??? one of my friend also went through it after which she has stopped using egg altogether. i have never used olive oil so no idea about the smell but yes lemon juice reduces the stink of egg!
DeleteEgg even with heena stinks! So, make sure that you do not let it dry and keep it wet throughout the time. Cover your head with a shower cap to prevent it from drying. This helps a bit to keep the smell down.
ReplyDeletehehe...did not know that! hmmm....never mixed egg in henna till day.

yes that is true. vinegar is quite overpowering in its smell and removes all other smells but vinegar is very drying for hair so it should be used sparingly!
Deletei used to use egg white mask to tighten my skin.. i used a real nice hair egg protein from India which was cheap and exquisite but i only found it in Singapore Little India.
ReplyDeleteI think lemon bleaches the hair. I've heard that apple cider vinegar cleans the scalp.
i want to try egg on my hair too cos i have heard good things about it. my hair is below my waist now so quite long and i like to keep it real healthy. i use minerals and it darkens my hair and thickens the shaft.
egg is damn good for hair and it does tighten the skin very well! acv and lemon both cleanse the scalp. which minerals do you use???

Have you tried it...?
I have a good volume of hair till my mid back...but very dry...i wanna use egg yolk but too scared about the smell.
I regularly use eggs on my hair... I mix olive oil, honey and egg... mixing these does reduce the smell to an extent but not much... though after seeing the results I really dont mind the sting! :)
ReplyDeletehaha...true Vidhi...the results are more than awesome :)
DeleteDo you apply the egg pack after applying shampoo on the hair?
ReplyDeleteno, before shampooing.
Deleteegg white part is applied on hair or yellow me bit confuse .. plzz anyone do help me out ....
ReplyDeletei would suggest beat both the white and yellow and apply it!
DeleteI apply a mixture of egg, olive oil, curd and honey and I only use the egg white. The smell is almost nil especially if you use 1 day old curd. The only smell you'll get is of sour curd! ;) Avoid the yellow if you dont want the smell. The yellow is more moisturizing than the white, but the stink of yellow doesn't even go away after a wash!
ReplyDeleteyes egg white does not smell much! but then curd also smells :D i have dry hair so need nourishment because of which yellow is unavoidable :D
DeleteIf you apply only egg white It is not that stinking Bad smell is almost removed!!
ReplyDeleteyes Priya that is true but unfortunately it is the yolk which is nourishing for hair which stinks a lot as well :(
DeleteAfter applying oil to hair,we can apply egg pack on hair?
ReplyDeleteyes but preferably used on unoiled hair would give better results :)
