Eggwhites?!

I suppose this is the right place to post this.

I have heard this just recently, but it in fact, apparently, a technique that goes back for a while.

Using the whites of eggs, and beating them, then applying them onto your hair makes for a very strong "gel", if you will. I hear that punks used to use this technique back in the day.

Does anybody know anything else about this technique? And you would have to spray some deodorant on your hair afterwards, I am guessing?

Ive heard about egg whites being good for your hair as protein. Im not sure about gel. Also you wouldnt want egg whites smell in your hair?
