Can we use egg yolk as conditioner? Can you please suggest a good shampoo for dry split hairs and a home remedy or cure the same.

Egg yolk is one of the best conditioners to cure dry hair and split ends. Egg yolk contains many essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals and half of the egg’s protein, which plays an important part in keeping the hair healthy. Hence, it is a preferred product in treating dryness and split ends and making the hair lustrous. There are many hair remedies that you can make by using egg yolks. Simply beat the yolk of two eggs till it forms foam and smear it all over your scalp and hair. Wash it off with cold water after about 30 minutes. Another very effective remedy is mixing 1 beaten egg yolk, 1 tsp honey and 2 tablespoons olive oil together. Make smalls sections of hair and thoroughly massage the mixture into it. Then, cover your head with a shower cap and let it stay on for 30 minutes. Wash your hair with a mild herbal shampoo after that.

However, just the use of egg yolk won’t help in rectifying your dry hair and split ends. The split ends will have to be snipped off. When that portion re-grows, you must pay attention to caring for your hair so that the dryness and split ends do not recur. For that, make sure that you do not expose your hair to sun and pollution. Always cover your hair when you step out. Do not use styling products like hair colors and dyes, and straightening gels. Styling equipments like rollers, hair dryers and irons should also be used sparingly. All these strip away the moisture and natural oils of the hair, making it dry and brittle. Avoid shampoos and conditioners with harsh chemicals and wash your hair only about twice or a maximum of thrice a week. Drinking lots of water every day will also help your hair stay hydrated.

Other than all these precautions, you can deal with the problem of dry hair by using some home remedies. You can mix mayonnaise and ½ of an avocado thoroughly and apply it on your hair from shafts to the ends. Wear a shower cap and let it stay for about 20 minutes before shampooing with a mild shampoo. A hot oil treatment for your hair once a week would be beneficial. Mix 1 teaspoon of castor oil, mustard oil and olive oil each and massage into your scalp for approximately 30 minutes. Then, apply the mix to the full length of hair and cover your head with a hot towel. Keep it on for 20 minutes and then shampoo your hair.

drying and splitting of hair is due to increased pitta, coupled with slight estrogen deficiency. dry ness on sides of big toe of foot is a sure indicator or estrogen deficinecy.

First thing, use hair oils as conditioners.

And for dryness of hair, use yogurt as conditioer. You may also add 1/2 lemon juice to yogurt if suffering from itching in hair, dandruff etc

For balancing hormones, use equal mixture of aswgandha, satawari and licorice powders, take 1 tsp mixture and swallow with 1 cup milk, twice a day. after breakfast and at bedtime.
