DIY Egg & Olive Oil Hair Mask for Growth (2 Ingredients You Already Have!)

Pin

---

Sometimes the best hair masks are the simplest ones — made from things already in your kitchen.
This 2-ingredient DIY hair growth mask is one of my go-tos when my curls feel dry or lifeless.

What You’ll Need

• 1 Egg (that’s it! See, I told you it was easy!)
• Olive Oil (oil for hair – shop it on Amazon)

Together, they nourish your hair with protein and moisture, leaving it stronger, shinier, and full of life.

🥚 Why Egg Is Amazing for Hair

Eggs are full of natural protein and biotin, which help strengthen weak strands and reduce breakage.
They also make hair softer, smoother, and shinier — perfect for when your curls need a little pick-me-up.

✨ Egg benefits:

• Strengthens hair and reduces shedding
• Adds shine and elasticity
• Helps with growth and thickness

💛 Why Olive Oil Is a Must-Have

Olive oil locks in moisture and smooths the hair cuticle, making curls easier to detangle and style.
It also helps protect hair from damage, especially if you use heat or live in a dry climate.

✨ Olive oil benefits:

• Moisturizes dry curls
• Adds softness and shine
• Helps prevent breakage and frizz

How to Make It

1. Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk until smooth.
2. Add olive oil and mix until creamy. (You can find it here on Amazon!)
3. Apply to dry or slightly damp hair, focusing on ends and dry areas.
4. Cover with a shower cap and leave on for 20–30 minutes.
5. Rinse thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water (never hot — it can cook the egg 🥴).
6. Shampoo lightly and condition as usual (follow my wash day routine for better results).

💫 Result: Softer, stronger hair that looks freshly revived — no salon needed.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use only the egg white or only the yolk?

Yes!
Use egg white if your hair is oily or gets weighed down easily.
Use egg yolk if your curls feel dry and need extra moisture and softness.
Using the whole egg gives the most balanced result.

How often can I do this mask?

Once a week is perfect for most curl types.
If your hair is very fine or easily over-moisturized, once every 10–14 days is enough.
If you use a lot of gel or heavy products, pair this mask with a clarifying shampoo every 3–4 weeks.

Does olive oil weigh down curls?

Usually no — if used correctly.
Apply mostly on the mid-lengths and ends, not the roots.
Rinse well with cool water and follow with a light shampoo.
If your curls are very fine, start with a small amount to test.
