The smell of baked goodies with eggs is a fragrance to die for. Unfortunately, eggs don t leave such fragrance when they are applied on your hair. Homemade egg hair packs are super effective for reducing hair fall and taming dry and frizzy hair but the smell they leave can be quite a put-off. Try these tricks to keep the egg smell away from your hair and enjoy the benefits of these easy hair packs:
Things you can add to the egg pack
Lemon: Different hair packs call for different ingredients. Adding a spoonful of lemon juice is not going to alter the recipe but it will definitely help your hair smell well. Lemon juice helps in cleansing the scalp and its strong citrus and fruity fragrance wards off the egg smell.
Yogurt: A popular ingredient in most hair packs because of its moisturizing properties; yogurt adds natural shine to your hair and keeps infections and the eggy smell at bay. Did you know yogurt could do this to your hair and skin?
Honey: Honey has hydrating as well as antibacterial properties making it ideal for the scalp and hair. Adding honey to your hair mask will help you get rid of the smell from the eggs after you rinse your hair.
Essential oils: Get rid of the obnoxious smell of eggs by adding a few drops of essential oils to the egg packs. You can use tea tree, cinnamon, lavender or jojoba oil to mask the smell. These oils also benefit the hair in many ways and keep hair woes away. Read more on the beauty benefits of essential oils here.
Orange juice: Just like lemon, the citrus and fruity smell of orange juice will help you get rid of the odour. Orange juice also helps remove dandruff and excess oil from the scalp along with the smells. Apply some fresh orange juice on your scalp and hair and leave it for 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly thereafter and experience fragrant hair.
Baking soda: Baking soda is very effective in eliminating the greasiness from the hair and beating hair loss and dandruff. Mix one part of baking soda with 3 parts of water and apply this mix on wet hair. Leave it for 5-10 minutes and wash off your hair. Baking soda cleanses the egg buildup on the hair thus eliminating the smell. Beat hair loss, dandruff, premature greying and more with these home remedies.
Vinegar: Rinsing your hair with vinegar and water can help get rid of the egg smell after you ve applied an egg pack. The acetic acid in vinegar adds natural shine to your hair and helps in clearing the buildup of hair products applied. You can even use apple cider vinegar for this.
