Here is a quick hair care tip for you guys whenever you make any egg hair mask at home
- If you have dry hair, use only egg yolk

How To Use Egg White And Lemon Hair Mask?
Just start partying small sections of your hair and apply this hair mask concentrating on your scalp then hair length and finally make sure to apply a generous amount on your tips. Wear a shower cap or a plastic bag to prevent dripping and drying of the hair mask.
Notes
- Leave this hair mask on for 1 to 2 hours and then remove it using COLD Water. This is a must. Reason being that with hot water, the egg starts forming chunks and sticks to your hair. So make sure you remove this hair mask with COLD WATER and then shampoo and condition your hair as you always do.

Hi Prasanna,
I have seen wonderful results when I applied hair masks twice a week. So I would recommend you to use the hair mask of your choice once every 15 days.
You can apply hair masks whenever you prefer. No need to do hair spa every time. :)

Use plain or unflavored yogurt. Castor oil gives much better results but you can use olive oil too
