Egg contains lecithin, which strengthens and protects the hair. Raw egg is an effective hair treatment and replaces many an expensive product.

Stir two raw eggs and a little water vigorously until a uniform mixture is obtained. Use your hands to work this egg mixture into the freshly washed, still damp hair from the scalp to the ends. Leave the hair treatment on for around 10 minutes.

The egg must be thoroughly rinsed out of the hair, but with cold water; warm water causes the egg to curdle.

Tip: If you don't want to rinse your hair with cold water, you can mix a little raw egg with a portion of hair shampoo and wash your hair with it. This will leave considerably less egg mass in your hair and the shampoo will also ensure that coagulated particles do not stick to your hair.
