Pre-Shampoo Treatment for Shedding Hair

This recipe has the stimulating effects of peppermint oil and the protein benefits of egg. Do this as a quick pre-poo before shampooing and you will find that your hair feels so much better after the wash. You can follow up this treatment with a regular shampoo and then a deep conditioner. Consistent pre-pooing can decrease hair breakage significantly.

1 teaspoon of olive oil

1 teaspoon castor oil

2 egg yolks

Directions:

Beat the egg yolks until frothy and then add the oils in a small bowl. Massage mixture into hair and scalp. Cover hair with shower cap for an hour. Rinse out then shampoo.

    Hi, im new to this site and love it. Found it after another hair blog mentioned it.
    Question: How often should one use per- shampoo treatment for shedding and other egg per-poo recipes? Is it all right to use it weekly , even though it’s a protein treatment?

      Hi Nam,
      When I had vitamin E capsules in abundance, I added it to everything. I don’t think it will hurt to add it to this mixture.

      Hi Himani,
      Sure, you can use the mixture without the peppermint or add another essential oil like eucalyptus, tea tree or anything you have on hand.
