If we say, egg is magic to your hair, it won't exactly be a lie! Each component of an egg is designed to suit your hair composition, and using it in your hair care routine is like breathing life back into your mane, which is precisely why we've curated these egg hair mask recipes!

Egg contains vitamins A, D, E and K, which offer a deep nourishment to the scalp, strengthening the hair roots and reducing breakage.

What's more, egg also packs a powerful punch of Biotin. It is biotin that decides the hair volume, strength and growth rate. Herbal egg masks infuse biotin directly into the hair follicles, which in turn improves the elasticity of the hair, thereby preventing breakage.

Other than that, egg contains a high ratio of zinc, sulphur and iron, which together improve the hair texture, colour, length and quality.

To boil it all down, whether applied topically or consumed in the every day diet, egg brings a bag full of wholesome goodness to your mane.

So, what are we waiting for? Let's discover exactly how to use egg to improve hair growth!
