It’s the first homemade shampoo recipe I tried which is actually better than store-bought shampoo. 😀 And it can’t get easier than this to make shampoo!
You need:
- 1 to 3 eggs depending on your hair length (1 for short hair, 2 or 3 eggs for long hair)
Beat the eggs by hand or with a mixer until frothy.
Distribute the egg foam evenly through the still dry hair. Let the egg shampoo sit for at least 15 minutes in the hair (I tried to not let the egg shampoo sit in the hair before rinsing and it didn’t clean my hair). Then rinse the hair thoroughly with cold water.
I was sceptical at first but this is really the best homemade shampoo: it’s easy and fast to make, and it’s as easy to distribute in the hair as store-bought shampoo. And the hair is so smooth, fluffy and glossy – even if rinsed with hard water!
Here you’ll find my tutorial for Victorian bran & egg shampoo.
I make a paste using raw egg and baking soda. Then rinse clean in cool water and a final rinse in acv/cold water mix. It’s been a miracle for my dry, frizzy, fragile hair ? It doesn’t smell sexy, but sometimes these old school recipes work!
Thanks for sharing your experience with egg shampoo, Stacie! 😀 I actually think my hair smells better after using egg shampoo than after using store-bought shampoos with their artificial fragrances. 😉
ive tried this several times, and it cleans my hair nicely and gives it lots of volume, but it always leaves a sticky residue, especially around the crown of my head, even after ive rinsed it thoroughly. i’m not sure if it’s because my water is too hard or if there’s some other cause… maybe egg shampoo isnt for me ?
Thanks for trying it out! 🙂 I’ve had no problem with a sticky residue so far even if rinsed with hard water. Did you let the egg shampoo sit in your hair for at least 15 minutes? You could also try using more eggs. Or you could try this Victorian bran-egg-soap shampoo. Hope this helps! 🙂
