Why spend money on an expensive hair mask when you can make your own that’s just as effective, if not better?! Eggs, yogurt, and olive oil have unbelievable effects on the hair follicles! This hair mask will help repair your hair back to its healthy state while creating shine and volume to your hair.

Eggs are rich in minerals and protein and protein is food for your hair!  Protein is what helps create volume to hair and strengthens hair.  The fatty protein helps reduce frizz and improves the hair’s overall health.   Vitamin A in the egg will prevent drying of the scalp, while improving hair growth.  Vitamin D in eggs will improve the texture and and luster of hair.

Because of the creaminess in yogurt, it will add moisture to hair!  The natural fats in yogurt will help condition the hair and make it less prone to breakage.  Also, similar to the egg, yogurt has a ton of protein which adds even more strength to the follicles. Yogurt has a cleansing component in it, which will rid hair of dirty strands.  The calcium in yogurt gives hair volume and density.  The components in b-vitamins are great for hair.  Biotin in yogurt restores hair damage and promotes hair growth.  Vitamin b-12 produces red blood cells, so the vitamin will help strands from falling out.  The benefits of yogurt for hair are amazing!

Olive oil is great in preventing dandruff, which is caused by a dry scalp.  The olive oil in this hair mask will infuse moisture back into the skin.  Split ends and dry hair is prominent during this time of the year, so hair is prone to this!  Olive oil will help mend split ends back together.  Putting oil back into hair will restore shine as well.  The olive oil in this mask will enhance hairs softness and manageability while creating a silkier and thicker feel.

To make the mask you first must crack your egg into a bowl and whisk it! Then add two and a half table spoons of the yogurt in and mix the two together.

After you complete the mask, your ready to apply it to your hair.  The hair must be fully saturated from root to tip!  Once applied, twist your hair up in a bun and let the nutrients soak in your hair for about 15-20 minutes.  After the times up, wash hair thoroughly with your favorite shampoo and conditioner and style it as you prefer!  My favorite line of hair care products is CHI, especially CHI silk infusion!

The after math of my hair from this hair mask made it full, shiny and healthy!  I hope you enjoy this mask as much as I do!
