Homemade Beauty Part 2: Eggs, mayo and olive oil hair mask!

This easy three ingredient hair mask will give your hair the nutrients it needs with its protein packed kapow-chow combo. The properties of egg create a needed impact on your dull and dry hair. It helps to recreate itself and maintains the texture of your hair by the presence of proteins. Mayonnaise is a traditional treatment for dry hair due to the fact that the three main ingredients: eggs, vinegar and oil, are all great for restoring your hair's moisture. Olive oil can nourish, condition, and improve the strength and elasticity of your hair.

 It is super easy to make and also very inexpensive as all the three ingredients can be found in your kitchen :)


What you'll need:                                                                                  




  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 heap tbsp of mayonnaise (it's your choice, low fat or fat fat.. as long as it's mayo)
Beat the eggs first in a bowl, then add the olive oil and then the mayo - easy right? Okay so make sure that the mixture is well blended and there are no lumps to be seen especially from the mayo part. Right, apply the concoction to dry hair (remember, do this before you have a shower), and I advise that you only apply this to the lengths of your hair if your hair usually gets oily easily. Apply as much as you can. Leave it on for 30 or more minutes to make sure that your hair has soaked up all the nutrients from all these natural (chemical free) products! Rinse with water and shampoo and if you want, you can skip your conditioner.


Et voila! Nice and shiny hair with all the added benefits from the ingredients.


 Remember to always use a heat protector when styling your hair using heat ;)
