How to Make a DIY Egg Protein Treatment for Hair

Beat one whole egg with a tablespoon of olive oil, apply to damp hair for 20 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

1. Mix your treatment. Beat one whole egg until smooth, then add one tablespoon of olive oil or honey. The egg provides protein while the oil adds moisture to prevent your hair from feeling too stiff.
2. Apply to damp hair. Work the mixture through clean, towel-dried hair from mid-length to ends. Skip your roots unless your scalp is particularly dry, as eggs can be heavy.
3. Wait and rinse carefully. Leave for 15-20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water. Hot water will cook the egg and create a mess in your hair that takes forever to remove.
