Hair Recipes
Nov 18^th, 2004 at 5:02pm

Well, I decided to try out a hair recipe I found online yesterday, as well as a vinegar rinse afterwards - and my hair is in FAB condition.

Here's the recipe...

"Russian Hair Treatment"

2 Eggs, beaten
1Tbsp oil (whichever you want. I used a combo of sweet almond, coconut, and olive)
A few drops of favourite essential oil (I used ylang ylang)

Mix the oils together and warm up in the microwave. Then mix in with the eggs. Before applying, moisten the hair very slightly by running wet fingers through it, then massage the egg mixture into hair and scalp. When the egg mix is used up, I take a bit more oil and rubbed it into my hair. Then, wrap yer head in plastic cling film and cover with a hot towel.
Sit back and relax for the next couple hours.

What I did next was wash my hair as normal only I did a quick vinegar rinse before conditioning.

My hair is all nice and shiny now!

Anybody got any other interesting recipes they've tried and wanna share with me?? I'm mad into puttin food on my head at the moment! Wink

Sorry I have nothing to share I can't seem to get to the grocery store for food to eat, let alone to put on my hair. [Heading out on Friday for trip number 2 of 5 before the end of the year]

Nope, no trouble washing it out. I think the oil helps to keep it slick and the eggs from stickin to your hair too much, as well as the fact that you cover your head with plastic.

And 2 hours is well enough time for a bit of deep conditioning of this type, methinks.

I will defo use this recipe again. Probably a once a month sort of thing cuz I'm too lazy to do any more than that! Tongue

Ooh I like the sound of that treatment. May I steal your recipe and try it one of these days? Grin

Here's one of mine:
- 2 tbsp (preferably deep) conditioner
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp shea butter
- 1 tsp oil (I like olive for this, and be sure you don't put too much)
- few drops EO (optional)

This is *very* heavy duty, so only use it when your hair is really lacking moisture. Otherwise it might make your hair greasy. Wink

And of course you can "steal" mine. Actually, it's not even mine...I stole it off the internet and adapted it to suit me. Thanks for sharing!!

You just mash them together to form a paste and add just a tiny touch of oil to help things bind. It's moisturizing and smells great!

Maybe there were too many eggs as compared to the oil? I had to do a deep conditioning to make up for the dry tangles that I got after this treatment!

That's really strange cuz it did wonders for my hair. Then again, my hair isn't nearly as long as yours so maybe that's why it didn't work. Maybe the ratios weren't right for your length?
