I used to think my mom’s 2-ingredient DIY hair mask was disgusting – now I swear by it for shine and softness
A BEAUTY guru has revealed she keeps her hair healthy using a homemade treatment she hated as a child.
She said the two-ingredient DIY hair mask makes her tresses look shiny and feel soft.
Shonda Ann (@desireyourhome) has garnered almost 8,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares hacks as a busy mom in her 40s.
She looked unimpressed as she dipped her locks into a bowl containing a gooey yellow mixture.
“I used to think it was disgusting when my mom would put eggs in her hair when I was a little girl,” she said.
“But now look at me, not too much different.”
“I rather it be eggs in my hair than my face,” she added.
The beauty enthusiast said her mom would mix the eggs with mayonnaise for soft and shiny hair, but she prefers to use an oil.
She revealed the DIY mask helps hair to stay healthy, soft, and keeps it from being dull.
In a follow-up video, Shonda showed the full process of applying the natural haircare treatment.
The mom didn’t say the name of the oil that she used but had a bottle of Maka Mahabhringaraj oil in view.
The nutrient-rich oil costs $24 on Amazon, where it has a 4.1-star rating.
One reviewer said it made their hair “soft and silk,” while another said it had reduced hair fall and dandruff.
“I take two eggs from my chicken coop and I’ll take some hair oil,” Shonda said.
“I deep condition the ends of my hair first, saturating with the egg, and then I will touch up my roots with the rest of the egg.
“Then go over the entire head of hair with oil.
“I let it sit for 30 to 60 minutes.
“I wash it out then I shampoo, a blowout, and flat iron.”
The videos each received many likes and a stream of comments from people saying they’ve also tried egg hair masks.
According to Healthline, egg yolks contain many beneficial vitamins including vitamins A and E, biotin, and folate.
