Has anyone tried egg as a deep hair...

I've heard of egg and mayo but have never tried it

I used to use mayonanise in my hair when I was younger. It does work and my hair was always usper-shiny, healthy and very strong. Although it stank like a mother...you get the idea.

However, I find that olive oil does the same thing. In Thailand, I used to buy bottles of fragranced olive oil (it smelled like pure jasmine) and just literally dump it in my hair. Now, since I can't find the fragranced oil (pooh!), I just use extra virgin olive oil from the supermarket. I massage it into my hair, wrap a towel (it can be warm if you want it to be...I have to pay a dollar to warm it in the dryer so I just use it straight from the linen closet) around my head in a turban-like style and chill for about 30-45 minutes.

is it hard to get the greasiness out of your hair afterwards?

You have to shampoo throughly, but I've never had a problem with greasiness in my hair when I was doing it.

i use olive oil a lot too and lilykind is right -- its great. my hair is always super soft and shiny after -- i usually shampoo twice with pretty hot water to make sure all the oil is out.

I have very fine hair, and, um, I just wanted to tell all the other fine haired girls out there to be very, very cautious with the olive oil. It took me a week to get all the oil out of my hair. Oh, and if anyone else reads that thing about smushing a banana with almond oil, well, wash it out with cold water or it COOKS (it was so icky - that pretty much did it for me and experimenting with natural remedies).
