The benefits of using eggs on our hair is something our grandmothers and friends can't stop gushing about. Well there's more you should know about using them . If you have a sensitive scalp prone to dandruff and itchiness, this article is for you .
An egg contains 6 gram of protein and while the white part is made up of more than half this percent , the yolk is made up of fat and less precent of protein. The excessive use of Eggs on hair can lead to protein overload which means an imbalance between the level of protein and moisture in the hair. This imbalance can lead to dry hair , hair loss and itchy scalp .
Also , excessive use of Eggs on a sensitive scalp makes the hair lose its shine and become stiff and dull looking so if you want to keep those shiny curls , stay away from eggs.
