Egg for hair: useful properties
Benefits of yolk
In egg yolks contains a huge amount of vitamins: A, D, E and B. Thanks to vitamins E and A, dry and damaged locks get moisturized, which gives them smoothness and shine. B vitamins improve the blood circulation of the scalp, which helps to strengthen the bulbs and prevents loss. Vitamin D is responsible for the content in the body of calcium and phosphorus, without which the hair becomes brittle and dry.
Also, the composition of the yolk includes fatty acids that prevent the appearance of dandruff and give the locks a healthy appearance and natural shine.
Benefits of Protein
When preparing home hair masks, the protein is often left out. But its useful properties can not be underestimated, because the protein contains such a rare vitamin N, which is able to "wake up" dormant hair follicles. In other words, protein masks promote growth and hair density.
Contains egg white and protein, which makes the curls silky and strong. In addition, many of the amino acids that make up its composition are not produced in the human body, but they have a great influence on the processes of hair renewal.
Egg shell use
Even the shell is useful for healing curls. It is rich in easily digestible calcium, which makes the locks strong and helps to restore their structure. Also the crushed shell in the composition of home shampoo will help to cope with the problem of fatty roots and seborrhea.
