Egg Yolks for Healthy Hair – 'Old' Remedies Meet 'New'

Why are Egg Yolks Beneficial for Healthy Hair?

According to international holistic hair educator, Mary Beth Janssen, eggs:

• Strengthen and moisturize hair with lecithin and protein.
• Protein in eggs also helps prevent breakage’
• Relieves dandruff due to high sulfur content in eggs.
• Natural emulsifier in egg yolks bind other hair recipe ingredients together smoothly.

For healthy hair, egg home remedies have been used for decades to deep condition, add volume and give luster to hair. Some women even use egg home remedies as a natural relaxer for curly or unruly hair and to promote lustrous, shiny hair.
