Do you like eggs in your hair? As a hairstylist I hear all sorts of home remedies to condition and strengthen your hair. From olive oil to eggs I have heard a use for just about anything. Here is the thing, I have never heard of any proof that putting these things in your hair actually make a difference. I think that people get these ideas from actual hair products that advertise that they have these cooking products in the formula, which is very different from actually putting the raw food product in your hair.
Olive Oil
Here is the bottom line : Unless a product is specifically made or proven to penetrate into the hair, it isn’t going to help the health of your hair. You hair basically has a skin around each strand called the cuticle. It is the outermost layer of the hair and it can only be penetrated by chemical force or by heat. Now what happens when you heat up a cooking product? It cooks!!! No one wants scrambled eggs in their hair and food products don’t have chemicals like ammonia or peroxide to react with each hair strand.. The most you can do with food products in my personal and professional opinion is coat and possibly add shine to your hair. This is why people swear that olive oil is so good for their hair. It coats the hair with oil to make it shiny, that’s it! If you put this in your hair you should think about this: What happens when you heat up oil and put something in it? It fries! There is some food for thought.
Vinegar
There is however one food product that is not so much good for conditioning your hair, but is good for removing chemical build up and that is vinegar. Vinegar breaks down gunk and build-up in your hair and leaves it with a great shine. It doesn’t get into your hair but it does clean it rather well. The thing with vinegar is that it stinks. Who wants their hair to smell like vinegar? Besides, there are many natural hair products out there that are made specifically for clarifying and adding shine to your hair.
Just Use Hair Products
There are so many affordable products out their to condition and strengthen your hair. So do yourself a favor and leave the cooking products to the cooking and use professional hair products on your hair. If being natural is what you are going for, stick to organic products. Not only will you get better results, but the people around you will be very grateful that your hair doesn’t smell like breakfast or worse.
