Homemade Conditioner and Shampoo Recipes

Did you know that raw eggs can be used as part of your beauty routine and not just on your face? You can also use them in your hair for conditioning and adding shine. Here are some recipes that you can use before you shampoo or after. The choice is yours.

These conditioners you use before shampooing:

First of all an egg yolk makes a great conditioner for your hair. Simply mix it with 2 tsp of a castor oil and massage into your hair. Rinse thoroughly.

*You might want to spend some time researching castor oil. Did you know that this plant can grow to the size of a small tree in Africa.

One raw egg...Whisk one or two raw eggs together and then work into your hair. Allow to dry and then shampoo out, followed by a vinegar and water rinse. This treatment will soften your hair nicely.

Repeat about once a month.

You can also mix an egg yolk with 1/4 cup of yogurt, and a little lemon rind. Again work it gently into your hair and then rinse thoroughly. *Plain yogurt is another beauty staple that you will want to stock up on. It has lots of uses.

A small avocado mashed and combined with an egg yolk is another moisturizing mask for your hair. Apply to hair and then go and read a magazine for 15 minutes while the ingredients go to work. Rinse out and then shampoo and condition thoroughly.

These conditioners you use after shampooing:
Beat a couple of egg yolks with a tablespoon or two of water depending on the length of your hair and then rinse after 15 minutes.

If you use a whole egg, whisk with a little lemon juice and condition your hair with this concoction. It will add incredible shine as it has removed previous product buildup.
You can even add an egg to your shampoo for added benefits.

Egg Shampoo
1 egg1/2 cup water1/2 cup your favorite shampoo1 tsp vegetable oil
Whisk the egg until frothy and then add the remaining ingredients. Pour into an old (clean) shampoo bottle and then store in the refrigerator for obvious reason. Share with the family as "shelf life" is only about two weeks.

Cider Vinegar and Egg Shampoo
1 large egg2 oz mineral water1 T cider vinegar
Using a wire wisk, whip up all three ingredients until well combined and then massage into the scalp. Rinse with warm water. Because of the egg content, the use of warm water is essential.

Enjoy,
Lorette
