(A beloved recipe from my younger days that still works wonders!)
There’s something deeply satisfying about simple, age-old remedies—especially when they truly work. This nourishing hair mask has been my secret to soft, glossy, and healthy hair for years. It’s packed with nature’s goodness and is incredibly easy to make at home.
Here’s how you can make it too:
✨ Ingredients:
- 1 egg white (beaten well until frothy)
- 1 cup fresh curds (plain yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
🥣 How to Use:
- In a bowl, mix all the ingredients well until you have a smooth, creamy blend.
- Apply generously to your scalp, massaging gently.
- Spread the mixture evenly through the lengths of your hair, paying special attention to the ends.
- Tuck your hair under a shower cap (or wrap with a soft cotton cloth).
- Let the mask work its magic for at least 30 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with a mild shampoo and condition lightly.
- Air dry your hair for best results.
💛 Why This Works:
- Egg white: Rich in protein, strengthens hair and adds shine.
- Curds/Yogurt: Deeply conditions, soothes the scalp, and adds softness.
- Coconut Oil: Nourishes, reduces frizz, and promotes healthy growth.
- Lemon Juice: Clarifies the scalp, removes buildup, and adds bounce.
📌 A few tips:
- Use this mask once a week for best results.
- If you’re sensitive to lemon juice, reduce the quantity slightly.
- For very dry hair, add a teaspoon of honey or a few drops of olive oil.
