Hello
Question about how to apply the eggs. Do you wet your hair before putting the eggs in or do they go on dry?

Exo-Scientist

larix-laricina I do both, they feel different so I think it is complementary. Most of the time, I put eggs in before water. I like to keep the eggs on my face for as long as possible, it feels so good.

Exo-Scientist Thanks! I will try both. Soon I will be getting my hands on a 60 rack of local eggs...oh so exciting.

I like the idea but it seems insufficient. Even though sodium laurel/laureth sulfate is toxic I still prefer to have it in my shampoo because it cleans out other toxins that accumulate in hair as a result of being in contact with the type of air that exists anywhere that isn't a perfectly clean island paradise.

larix-laricina

Warrior Do you think eggs or other substances can clean out toxins without having toxins?

Warrior

larix-laricina I haven't found a way to naturally clean out toxins without using other toxins, laurel/laureth sulfates do the jobs for me. I do not think milk/eggs/other food products are sufficient on their own. Always looking for better alternatives.

Warrior Have you tried ACV? I haven't but have been wanting too. By the way it tastes and vinegar being vinegar I have good hopes for it leading to nice clean hair, though I have read it is good for shampoo and/or conditioner.

larix-laricina Tried it, tried pretty much everything. ACV did something, but not enough

I have used baking soda to wash my hair for years with no issues. Some say it dries your hair out, though I have naturally pretty oily hair so it helped me, but if that is a problem you can use ACV afterwards to restore the oils I think. I just take maybe a tablespoon of baking soda in a little cup and mix it up with water into a paste then scrub it into my hair and rinse it out. BTW baking soda can also work as a toothpaste, but that is more well known

Concretebowl Does the baking soda give hair the wonder and shine that eggs will? Baking soda seems like another good option too, less expensive than eggs.

Concretebowl

larix-laricina Probably not, as far as I know baking soda just takes the oils out, so if you want a shine you would need something to add the oil back like a conditioner, for that the baking soda and the ACV combo should work well and be cheap.

Hello!
I'm starting to lose hair because of genetics, but I'm still young, so it is not so bad yet. I will definetly try the eggs, but do you know any other methods to prevent or even reverse hair loss? I've been reading about minoxidil + microneedling. They seem to be a relatively good option, specially when combined with the egg's nutrients.

tropical_german RICE WATER!!!![https://kikimancy.com/natural-hair-growth-tip-fermented-rice-water-review/] Hopefully, the link works. Rinse white rice (half cup for one use I have done), put a bit more water in than if you were cooking, let it sit out overnight or 12h then at the end of showering pour it on your scalp to soak your hair. Don't rinse it out, let it be the last liquid to touch your hair in the shower, haha. Kiki has said it works well for nail growth if you soak your nails in rice water for 15 min. Hope this helps!

I've been a long time nopoo-er. Have not used shampoo in my hair or soap on my body in about 3 years. I tried the egg wash, really liked the results on my face, hair was very voluminous for about 2 days then started getting oily similar to a couple days after a shampooing. Gonna let it balance back out nopoo style and keep putting the egg on my face/beard.
