Egg Shampoo (Was RE: Gray Hair)

[Guest guest]

I was just looking through my files of the groups posts for something

and I came across this post and it reminded me of a recipe someone

recently sent me for egg shampoo (I don't have an original source to

credit though, sorry)!

Easy Egg Shampoo

 

Egg adds protein to the hair to strengthen it, olive oil gives the hair

gloss and sheen, and lemon juice works as a clarifier (allowing this

formula to rinse clean). Water is included to dilute the strength of the

first three ingredients to a good consistency for use on the hair, and

the shampoo base provides the cleansing action. This is a great

conditioning shampoo that you can whip up in your kitchen any time.

 

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2-tsp (2.5 ml) olive oil

1/2-tsp (2.5 ml) lemon juice

1/2-cup (118 ml) water

1-cup (237 ml) glycerin shampoo, gentle commercial shampoo, or

liquid castile soap.

 

Using a whisk, mix all the ingredients together for 1 minute. Apply and

massage gently into the hair. Rinse thoroughly.

This recipe can be kept in the refrigerator for about 1 to 2 weeks.

Whisk the ingredients for about 1 minute prior to each use.

> When we spent summers in Mexico with my mother's family my favorite

shampoo was the egg shampoo they sold there.

> You buy shampoo in small packets.

> No name. Just a plain clear plastic pouch.

> One packet was good for one or two shampoos depending on how long your

hair was. At the time they cost

> about US.20 a pop.

 

> Anyway, the store owners would always say it just had egg, olive oil

and something for making it 'bubble' up.

> It was very thick and it didn't have a perfume smell.

 

> So you shampoo and then if you had the money you might put a drop of

fragranced oil on a hair brush

> to brush your hair with after you had it pretty much towel dried.

 

> My aunts all had beautiful hair including the grays even if the rest

of them aged rather quickly

> As soon as you mentioned the olive oil you brought back that memory to

me. I thank you for that.
