Healthy Hair, Healthy Lifestyle: Eggs

With the new year coming I bet almost every single one of you has on their New Years Resolutions to GET IN SHAPE! So while you are getting your body into shape, how about getting your hair into shape too! Because you are what you eat :)

Eggs are an excellent source of protein and vitamin B12. Protein and vitamin B12 aid your hair in growth and health. In addition, those two things give you energy! Not the kind that burns fast, like sugar.

How to incorporate them into your diet.

  • Boiled eggs: great in salads, tuna, or sliced with salt and pepper for breakfast
  • Scrambled eggs: mix in some potatoes, green onions, bell peper and oil. That's a yummy treat!
  • Fried eggs: on an English muffin, on toast or just over a bagel. I love fried eggs!
How to incorporate them into your hair regimen
  • Make your own deep conditioner
    • Whip 2 eggs, one cup of yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lemon/lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Apply the mixture to your hair and leave on for 10-20 minutes
  • Add egg to your conditioner as a protein treatment
    • Put some conditioner in a bowl and whip in 1-2 eggs. Apply to your hair as conditioner
Make this new year one of healthy bodies and healthy hair!!
