Dark circles beneath the eyes can be a nuisance and tend to make anyone look like they have not slept in decades.
Yet, before reaching for any expensive creams or treatments, why not try some of the natural remedies that you may have sitting in your kitchen? These simple home remedies will reduce those pesky shadows to provide a more refreshed outlook.
Egg masks have been among the most vital elements of home hair care routines for quite a long time owing to their moisturizing effects and efficiency in hair growth.
Eggs, being rich in proteins, vitamins, and even essential fats, can add much value to the overall health of your hair, making it strong, shiny, and unbreakable.
Here’s how you can make and apply an egg mask to stimulate hair growth.
Mix all these ingredients together until you achieve the right, smooth consistency. Apply it to dry or slightly damp hair, following through from the root to the tip. Use either a brush or your fingertips to ensure it’s applied well. Gently massage the mask into your scalp; this can help improve blood flow to the scalp and can, therefore, help with the stimulation of hair growing.
Place a shower cap or plastic wrap on your hair to prevent the mask from drying out, and also to avoid any drip. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes, so the nutrients may get more proper time to penetrate inside the hair and scalp.
Then, after that, rinse the mask in lukewarm water; never use hot water because this will cook the eggs, making it hard to get it out of your hair. Rinse with a mild shampoo to make sure that all the residue is washed out, and this could also require a second shampoo so that the mask is taken out. Follow this with your regular conditioner for softness and manageability.
While the basic egg mask is good enough on its own, you can enrich this with other ingredients to target particular hair problems. For dry hair, add half an avocado to the egg mixture. Avocado boasts a rich amount of vitamins and healthy fats for deeply moisturizing and repairing dry hair. You can also add 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt for extra moisture and a smoothing effect. Yogurt contains proteins and lactic acid, which may help in strengthening and doing a soft exfoliation on the scalp.
If you have oily hair, then mix into the eggs a teaspoon of lemon juice. Lemon juice has various beneficial properties: it normalizes oil production, making it balanced, and performs an astringent effect on your scalp. You can add to this mixture 2 tablespoons of cooled green tea, too, since it contains antioxidants and will be efficient for improving scalp health and reducing excess grease.
For dull hair, add to the mixture a few drops of rosemary, lavender, or peppermint essential oil. It refreshes your scalp, gives a nice smell, and boosts hair growth. If you have problems with hair loss, then first soak 2 tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in water overnight, and then grind them into a paste, adding into the egg. Fenugreek has the property to strengthen hair, which is less subject to loss.
