It used to be true that egg shampoos were considered great for the hair. They were made with raw eggs.There is so much press about the danger of bacteria and other nasties in eggs, I am concerned about whether it is a good idea to make raw egg shampoo. Has anyone heard anything about the danger of egg shampoos?

Years ago, a model with gorgeouse hair on the cover of Cosmopolitan recomended sleeping with a mixture of olive oil and raw eggs on your hair. I did this and it was really gross feeling and didn't yeild the great results I had hoped. However, I don't really see how bacteria would affect your hair. I guesse it could be a problem for you scalp or skin (though I doubt it), but you could keep your hair away from your skin by using a shower cap or the like. Does an egg shampoo involve mixing an egg with shampoo? One tip that I've heard is to not rinse the egg out with hot water because that can cook it. Let us know how it goes if you decide to try it.

Yuck. I tried egg on my hair too. It was awful and smelled terrible for at least 24 hours. In my opinion anyway. I don't recommend this treatment. Agree with Serena, stay away from how water.> Years ago, a model with gorgeouse hair on the cover of> Cosmopolitan recomended sleeping with a mixture of> olive oil and raw eggs on your hair.

Hi,I agree with Serena. You can do the egg shampoo if you make sure to keep it out of your mouth and away from your eyes. Of course wash your hands very carefully or mix the ingredients with plastic gloves and dispose.Actually I would probably bypass the eggs. I tried it years ago...and I agree...it was not great.I swear by Aveda's Beautifying Oil or just a good olive oil treatment.Yes, everyone is correct about not getting the egg treatment too warm. You could have fried eggs on your head. :-)Best wishes and let us know how it all turns out.Karen> Yuck. I tried egg on my hair too. It was awful and> smelled terrible for at least 24 hours.

That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)
