Her homemade concoction grew her locks, leaving them silky and shiny.

There was a lot of interest in Iyanna's (@jhaileniyanna) video with over 44,000 tuning in.

After seeing the results, they pleaded for the recipe.

“How I grew my hair with an egg protein mask," she said in her post.

Commenters confirmed this stuff does the business.

“I used to do this and can vouch it works," said one fan.

Anyone experiencing hair breakage or dry ends, this hair savior could be for you.

Most of the ingredients could already be in your store cupboard or refrigerator.

HAIR MASK

Ingredients you will need for this protein hair mask include:

• 2 eggs
• 1 dessert spoon of yogurt
• 1 dessert spoon of honey
• Castor oil or coconut oil
• A few drops of Rosemary oil
• A few drops of Peppermint oil

Method:

• Mix ingredients
• Comb out hair
• Separate hair and apply from roots to tips
• Leave on for between 45 minutes to an hour
• Wash out as usual

Conditioner can be used in place of yogurt. But you can also use mayonnaise in place of these.

But be warned: it might not smell so good, she said.

Honey is great for bringing some shine to your locks.

Rosemary oil stimulates hair growth.

Peppermint oil will help with an itchy scalp.

Commenters reported excellent results after using this hair mask.

“This helped my hair so much, thank you. I knew nothing about protein treatments," said one fan.

"This made my curls pop out so much," added another.

But other viewers shared their variations on her recipe.

"I used egg whites, mayo, and olive oil mixed together and left in for two hours. My hair grew so much,” they wrote.
