We already know that consuming eggs can have quite a few benefits for our health. But were you aware that eggs work like a magic ingredient when it comes to hair care? They can either work by themselves or can be added to other ingredients to whisk up some amazing concoctions for your hair. And yes, we know what you're thinking. Eggs do have a bad reputation of being sticky and smelly but trust us, in the end, the results will prove to you that it's all worth the trouble. So, here are a few benefits of eggs on your hair that you probably weren't aware of.

As we all know, eggs are like a powerhouse of proteins. And our hair is made up of a protein called keratin. So, using eggs on your hair will not only boost protein content but will also ensure that you have smooth and silky hair. Apply an egg mask twice or thrice a week for best results.

Like we mentioned earlier, our hair is made of a protein called keratin and using eggs on your hair can boost this protein. Now, keratin is also responsible for hair growth which means that a boost in the protein will also give a boost to hair growth. Try massaging your hair and scalp with two parts yolk and one part whites.

Take some egg white and add olive oil, coconut oil, argan oil or any other frizz-taming ingredient and then mix this well. Apply this to your hair once a week and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before you wash it off. Since eggs also contain folic acid, they work wonders in taming frizzy hair.

Massage your scalp with some egg yolk to increase blood circulation and boost hair growth while also nourishing and moisturising your scalp. It can work as a sebum-balancing cleanser and will ensure to get rid of all the excess oil and grease from your scalp.
