Back in the day, we mixed an egg yolk with the Queen Helene Deep conditioner and some mayonnaise, the hair used to be so soft.

[@lleetee3305]

When I was younger, My mom used room temperature Mayo and eggs on her hair as pre-poo before washing and she did this once a month. Her hair was always long and healthy….non relaxers just natural hair! 😊 I can see this really works!!!

[@dshae2293]

I live by doing egg treatments once a month. It's so good for the hair.

[@varietiesbyshamyra]

Short and sweet, but I learned oh so much!! You break everything down to how and why, thank for creating this channel 💛

Thank youuuu! : )

[@halo1569]

I've been using egg in my hair for about two years now, I use it once or twice a month when my hair feels weak it strengthens my hairs so good my hair loves it but you need to use a really good moisturizing conditioner after the egg treatment I love it!

[@spirituallylovingme-11]

Hi what kind of moisturizing conditioner do you use

[@aititelocin]

Short and sweet. Straight to the point.

I used to use egg and mayonnaise when I had relaxed hair. I loved it. I haven’ tried it sense I have been relaxed. I think I will try it again.

[@nappyvalley2676]

I literally experienced protein overload from using egg and mayo deep conditioner too often. So it is definitely a protein treatment!

i am combing out my locs, and a lot of people says that you must do a protein treatment right after because the hair is weak, can the mayo and egg be used guys? i need y'all help.

My hair was shedding real bad and thinning out. I started doing this mask and my hair is back think and grew back out. I’m gonna cut back to doing it once a month now though. I was doing every week or two

I've used mayonnaise in my hair in the past. It's a decent deep conditioner but it smells 😆

[@sheluvssmokedupeyes1]

You can put essential oils in it

[@andycford23]

Very good content - love the emphasis on dissecting the science behind it.

[@KarenJohnson-ej3cj]

Hiiii! Ive just found you and I'm really loving your videos! This video was very helpful and informative. But I have a question about keratin. I've been using it a lot lately in my shampoo, conditioner and leave-in ( I have high-porosity hair) is keratin as good as eggs for bonding to the hair and repairing the structure as they claim?

[@jomar2886]

Loved this!!! Is there an alternative product I could buy instead of putting eggs in my hair? Lol Thanks a bunch!

[@rjpickle1]

Thank you for these videos! Can you do a video on amla powder?

[@aoumydieng360]

[@ppared7]

Hi, thank you for this video🤗 I have a question, how do you persevere eggs in a hair conditioner?

[@homebody61]

I have low porosity, 4C/4B hair. When I add eggs to my shampoo, it makes my hair shiny and fills in the cracks.

[@mimio008]

Hello and thank you. I'm so happy that you're sharing your knowledge with us. Quick question: wouldn't the salt and vinegar from mayonnaise hurt the hair?

[@AsmauZAKARI]

Yeah ..Absolutely..👌

[@marcit8765]

Thank you! Can it be used as a pre poo or is it better to use after shampooing?

[@ashleya2178]

You should really start making tutoring videos. You breakdown the information with ease

[@delbriggs2568]

should i use the protein treatment on shampooed hair or just wet hair? if used on wet hair, should I shampoo and condition when done?

[@roarlexroar]

Hi! I love your channel! I’m wondering if a black rice water rinse would be considered a protein treatment?

[@simmiedavissimmiesings8185]

Th rice is mostly fire the B vitamins

[@nubian_melaninqueen4473]

I have low porosity hair. It takes my hair a very long time to get 💦 through it. I don’t 🤔 to much protein would be go for my tresses would it?

[@JenniferWendySpeaks]

Great video. I used to used this mixture years ago when I was a teenager. Do you think it helps relaxed hair too?

[@driaannbull]

My sister use to do this for me years ago, when my hair was relaxed. Most relaxed women did it back in the day. Never tried it with my natural hair. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Hey! Relax hair can benefit from this as well! : )

Do I have to shampoo after or cowash ?

my hair was so bleached its strenchy and breaks when wet will this help make my hair harder to stop the breaking

Will washing the eggs afterwards with shampoo strip all the benefits?

My aunt uses egg yokes not the whites in her hair every now and then. She says its good for her hair.

Can someone blow dry their hair every week?

[@makkahkhadija2604]

Thanks!!! Should I use this treatment for scalp pull??. I had a style that pulled some of my hair. Cause some breakage and excessive shedding. What should I do.???

[@CurlyChemistry]

For breakage I would focus more so on doing consistent deep treatments to help nourish the hair, make sure your moisture-protein level is balance. Avoid tight/harsh hairstyles and do scalp massages with peppermint oil (dilute w/ carrier oil of choice) to nourish the scalp. : )

[@nuche100]

So i just need some clarification on this theory. 1. Is it with the yoke or just egg white. 2. How many eggs do you consider a reasonable amt to apply on the whole hair. 3. How long do you leave in your hair especially high porosity hair..i know I know too many questions sorry 😁😁 help me out professor..as always i love your videos 💕💕

[@CurlyChemistry]

Hey! 1. You'll want to use the entire egg, both white and yolk. 2. Just enough for your hair, so it depends on the length of your hair. You can use a cup of mayonnaise and one raw egg, mix and apply to hair. Just don't use heat! 3. 10-20 min is fine. Hope this helps!

What part of the eggs are you referring to. Thanks

[@jk9084]

The egg yolk

[@jenniferjeffreys6829]

Do you use the regular egg all by itself ? Also is there an after smell?

[@CurlyChemistry]

Regular egg, whip it and apply. Or add one egg to a cup of mayonnaise and apply that mixture to your hair. The mayonnaise will add additional softness from the olive oil used to make mayo. Just don't use heat. : )

@@CurlyChemistry, how long do you let this mixture stay in your hair? Do you rinse out? If so, do you have to re-wash your hair again?
