Does your hair need a hydrating treatment? Eggs and olive oil, two inexpensive ingredients found in the kitchen, can turn your hair from dull and lifeless to silky and shiny after just one treatment. Next, 2 homemade masks to repair your hair.
Olive oil and egg mask for dry hair
Separate the yolks from the whites. To make a mask for dry hair, you only need the yolks (not the whites). Egg yolks contain fats and proteins that help hydrate and rejuvenate dry, lifeless hair.
Beat the yolks with the olive oil. Pour the olive oil into the bowl with the egg yolks and beat until you get a smooth and creamy mixture. You should find about 1/2 cup of the mixture, enough to cover medium-length hair. If your hair is very thick and long, add an additional 1 tablespoon of olive oil. If your hair is short, reduce the olive oil to 1 tablespoon.

Apply the mixture to damp hair. If your hair is a little wet, it will be easier to distribute the mask from the roots to the ends. Use a wide-tooth comb to apply the mask all over your hair, making sure each strand is covered. If you tend to have very dry ends, put more mixture on the ends than on the roots. If you end up with more mixture than you need, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Leave the mask on for 20 minutes. To maintain order, you can gather all your hair with a loose bun and cover it with a shower cap. Wait patiently while the mask works on your dry hair.
Wash your hair with cold water. The shampoo will remove excess oil and egg, which will leave your hair shiny and soft, without build-up. Make sure to use cold or warm water so the egg doesn’t “cook” into your hair.
Dry your hair as usual. Let it air dry or use a blow dryer. Your freshly hydrated hair should now look smoother and healthier.
Olive oil and egg mask for oily hair
Separate the whites from the yolks. If your scalp produces a lot of oil, the tips will add more oil to your hair. Use only the whites in this mask. Egg whites gently remove unwanted oil from hair to leave it shiny and smooth. Separate the whites from the yolks and reserve the yolks.
Beat the whites with the olive oil. Pour the olive oil into the bowl with the egg whites and beat until you get a creamy, smooth mixture. You should find about 1/2 cup of the mixture, enough to cover medium-length hair. If your hair is very thick and long, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil or an additional egg white. If you have short hair, reduce the olive oil to 1 tablespoon or remove 1 egg white.
